In this moment I am happy. The sun is shining. I am healthy. I am hugging your neck, and looking into your eyes, and laughing about the past that will last forever. In this moment, you are alive. Continue reading K

Urine trouble
There’s a real struggle to becoming a New Yorker. While I thought it might be missing my Texas-sized kitchen and bathroom (I do!), it turns out my main problem is remaining upright. My other problem is urine. A friend stopped by for a visit last night, and we decided to walk a couple blocks to grab a pizza. On the way back, while crossing the … Continue reading Urine trouble
In the beginning…
I have been coming to New York City on a regular basis for the past year. With each visit, I learn more and more about the city. As most of my family and friends know, I am in love with this city, and my favorite thing is to NOT be a tourist. With each trip, I get more savvy. It’s a process, to be sure. … Continue reading In the beginning…
September 26, 2014
This blog is taken from Facebook posts and comments on a day of travel between Dallas, Texas and Virginia Beach, Virginia 4 years ago. I was headed there to spend a quick weekend with my mom and sister. Up until recently, I would have told you that this was typical when it comes to travel for me. But lately…ah, nope. I’m not going to tempt … Continue reading September 26, 2014
A Little Whine With Dinner
Bright lights, fancy sets, enthusiastic audiences, and dramatic music… Famous chefs yelling at young wanna-be chefs, while friends and family watch… Clever editing, leading into commercials, meant to keep television audiences on the edge of their seats… Intense cooking scenes, punctuated by sentimental music and moments when “contestants” reveal tender background stories, or pull out pictures of relatives long-deceased, all designed to incite an emotional … Continue reading A Little Whine With Dinner
Moving Sidewalks
I follow a particular quarterback on Facebook (he’s kinda popular), and his recent post was cute, so I clicked “Like”. I happened to notice that when I did, his “Like” count jumped from 359 to 473. Just like that! That was my morning equivalent of getting on the moving sidewalks at the airport and walking very VERY fast! Sometimes it’s the little things… Continue reading Moving Sidewalks
27 Strands and a Cup of Coffee
It was time for a trim, so I plopped down into the fun hydraulic swivel chair and began to babble with my hairdresser about stuff that you routinely babble about with your hairdresser. I had just had a mini-massage and was feeling good for the first time in weeks. At one point, my head was bowed and as I peeked through my wet mop of … Continue reading 27 Strands and a Cup of Coffee
Uneducated Poetry
The ONE time I don’t toss my Nook into my bag is the one time the WiFi on my flight isn’t working. Oh well, these flights are always full. I can use the 3 hours to chat with the person next to me. But the ONE time I want to chat, the flight isn’t full. Far from it. There’s no one in the seat next … Continue reading Uneducated Poetry
The Flavor Next Door
I am so easily swayed by marketing when it comes to stuff to drink. Exotic fruit combinations. Anything “green tea”. The addition of honey, herbs, spices or bacon (still bummed that Diet Coke didn’t think this was a good idea). Pictures of juicy red cherries. “Sparkling”. And of course, if it’s sugar-free, I’m sold. Because now it’s really good for me! So I sent Doofenshmirtz … Continue reading The Flavor Next Door
My “Bee-Tell”
I may need a shrink. Or a drink. But I think I’ll write instead. Last night, a beetle crawled into bed with me. My “normal” self would have, at the very least, flicked him out of bed. But last night, I looked at him and thought, “I wonder how his day has been?” And I wasn’t even surprised that I thought that. I ask everyone … Continue reading My “Bee-Tell”
