My favorite thing I’ve seen today. Such a fun image. And so true! The interwebs can be a magical place.

Here’s a thought of what not to do

The other night, I went out for drinks with a group of friends, including one who had broken up with a woman a few months back. He seemed a little bewildered – things had seemed to be going well when she unexpectedly ended it – and a lot hurt. Also, it seemed that he was […]

The echoes of tango

I have a complicated cultural background. Born in Spain to parents who were also born in Spain butraised in Argentina, I was never sure what to bring to my school’s “We Are All Americans” Day. I was raised in the U.S., after all. I like hamburgers. I’ve got family in Argentina – my parents’ siblings’ […]

Ready for winter!

Every two weeks, my town’s DPW comes along collecting “Big Trash.” It’s a day in which you could put out a circus clown car full of wiggling eels and they’d dutifully cart it away. (Side note: I love love love my town’s DPW). I enjoypurging my house of stuff, so this is a recurring meeting […]

Nabokov’s writing

When I was a junior in high school, I convinced my English teacher to let me do my big year-end paper on Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita. I can’t rememberwhere I first found the book – certainly my all-girls Catholic school wouldn’t have had a copy in their thinly stocked and highly proper little library – but […]

In the groove

With the crispness of fall in the air, I’m so excited to be back in the writing groove. First drafts are easy for me but rewrites are hard, and I’ve been scratching my head trying to find my groove. Found it! Here’s how. First, I looked to see if I could reverse engineer what had […]

New family member

I’m a big believer that if you’re trying to force something to happen, it’s probably not meant to be. So it was when my kids were away and I wanted to surprise them upon their return with a new black kitten.I called rescues and asked around, but some didn’t get back to me, some had […]

Back to “school”

The breeze coming in through the window of my office is spectacular. I’ve worked downstairs a lot during the summer, a thing I tell myself is for comfort, but can sometimes result in me feeling like I’m all cooped up. So, I’m in “back to school” mode, with my office clean and ready for business, […]
