This morning I found this cicada suit by the truck. Pretty! But sadly, not my size. Later I ate a 3-egg salad sammich. Three eggs! Following that work-out, I slept soundly for about an hour, til The Man got home from work. The Man convinced me I should stop whining and throwing myself around the [...]

There’s a beautiful fountain outside the Cotton Exchange building on Bay Street, a terra cotta lion. I walk past this fountain everyday. It looks like this: Or rather, it looked like that.

Download this song: I quit my job, Old Man Luedecke It’s a very good thing I do not have any kind of telekinetic powers. Because if I did, the conversation I had today with my health insurance provider would not have gone well. I’m moving to France, see you later.

I spent some time at the Vietnam Memorial today. I like the sound the water makes pouring into the larger pool. I like reading the dedication bricks. I like the shady benches. It’s a good memorial. Do you have a picture of what you want for your future? Are you specific? Are you ambitious? What [...]
