She was coming off the F train going downtown as I was getting on the F train going uptown, surprise, exhanging hugs and a hellos with a playwright I knew in Seattle, an exciting moment of fun in the middle of my day!

This afternoon just after I had climbed the stairs hauling my cart full of clean clothes from the laundromat my friend called.  She was in the neighborhood because she was going to a reading at Irondale.  I had an hour before I had to pick up My Kid from dance class at Mark Morris so [...]

My jaw is sore and I don’t know why.  Perhaps I am tense.  We flew the red-eye between Seattle and New York between Saturday night and Sunday morning. There was an e-mail from AYSO saying there were more kids than coaches and unless some parents stepped up and volunteered and registered for coach or referee [...]

The famous circular rotunda of the Guggenheim art museum was completely empty.  That’s not something I would normally pay to see, but I went to the Tino Sehgal exhibit with my mom hat on because one of the neighbor kids is in it.  After I got there and walked through the experience I realized how [...]

It was so dark and rainy today I thought for a while I was in Seattle. This morning, I made oatmeal but My Kid wanted pancakes. In the afternoon I went to a workshop of physical improvisation to live music.  That was cool. Our evening at home is about chemistry experiments and board games.

Yeah!  Happy Happy nothing to prove.  Friend from Seattle who grew up in Montana–Hey!  I grew up in Montana.  No expectations.  Drink wine  Put ornaments on the Christmas tree  Eat dinner:) Happy Happy Happy Time for bed:)

Well, first of all there was the 9 am soccer game with the trophy distribution picnic afterward… The Husband, My Kid and I went up town to see  the matinee of Spacestation 1985 at the Tank Theater on 45th street because one of my friends was one of the puppeteers. In the evening I went with [...]

Sunday 8/16/09 We got lost on the way to the softball game because it wasn’t where I thought it would be.  It wasn’t where we played against the town when I was a company member.  The game was fun to watch.  There was beer and clowning and the old guys who were in the playhouse [...]

My Kid and her Girl Cousin have just run in the front door with their dolls; “They’re spraying a house and the lawn of the church.  We had to run all the way to get away from the bad smell!  We held our breath!”  They are perhaps a little too aware of environmental toxins.    [...]
