Teeny Tiny Joys
This is a tough time for old hippies like me. We joined the establishment decades ago, but tried throughout to keep our values intact. We’ve championed the needs of the poor and the powerless, worked to protect human rights and preserve the environment, protested war and corruption – all while also trying to support our …
How To Be Old
A post from September 2011: I’m normally not much of a concert-goer. I don’t like crowds and I don’t like crowded parking lots, and I especially don’t like crowded ladies’ rooms. I put up with all of the above for the love of my life, James Taylor. Everyone else, not so much. Recently, however, I …

Omniscience Explained
This is a little essay that takes a very serious,thoughtful topic and makes it silly and trivial. Some folks think I excel at this. I am not a very religious person, but when I was a little girl, I tried to be. I liked the idea of religion because I liked ceremonies. Sacred music and …

Last night my husband was describing to me the best photograph he had ever taken – a monarch butterfly perched on a dewdrop on a flower. He said that he loved that photo, because it was the most beautiful thing he had ever created. He lost track of that picture years ago, and he wondered …
I’m Goin’ Big
Every year for the last umpteen years, I make New Year’s Resolutions. I keep them modest, so that they are achievable. Pick up my shoes. Walk on my treadmill twice a week. Save a few dollars. But even with very small goals, I don’t have much success. So this year – as long as I …
How To Be Old
I’m normally not much of a concert-goer. I don’t like crowds and I don’t like crowded parking lots, and I especially don’t like crowded ladies’ rooms. I put up with all of the above for the love of my life, James Taylor. Everyone else, not so much. Recently, however, I went to two concerts in …
Welcome To My Ponzi Scheme
Welcome to my Ponzi Scheme. Well, not mine, really. I guess it may have originated with WordPress or with some blogger from the stone-age blogger days. It’s the VERSATILE BLOGGER AWARD! I am actually very happy to have received it, because it means that other bloggers like what I write. And that is amazing. In …
