One of Those Ladies In A Line
Reference: The song “Ladies In A Line” by Sara Bareilles (lyrics quoted below). My first guitar teacher, who I will not identify because he has a very distinctive name, once spent half a lesson talking about his obsession with Sara … Continue reading
Sweeping Porches
We have been camping. I say “camping” in a quite tongue-in-cheek manner; camping used to mean hiking into the Pemigewasset wilderness in NH or staying in a remote site up at Baxter State Park, but now means renting a cabin … Continue reading
Bless Your Heart
And here we are in June, still mainlining Noah Kahan (with an odd smattering of Kate Bush, particularly Jig of Life which was apparently written from the imaginary viewpoint of an Irish woman hallucinating while drowning?), and still feeling my … Continue reading

An Aging Wolf (who lost the taste for blood)*
*Lyrics stolen from Noah Kahan’s song Orbiter It’s May, I turned 55, I think there is an AARP card in the pile of mail I have to sort through, and there is a half-gallon of chocolate ice cream missing somewhere … Continue reading

It’s true that I cling to my emotional support iced coffee all year round, but fall isn’t *ALL* bad. Last night we went to a little bluegrass concert and it was really, really fun. It was outside, at twilight, not … Continue reading
Ruminations in the Key of F(all)
It’s no secret that I am no pumpkin spice girl; fall for me means the light shifts and I just want to crawl into a hole until February when the light shifts again. I tend to ruminate anyway, but fall … Continue reading
Dear Taylor (a sanctimonious soliloquy)
One minute I found myself downloading Folklore to have something new to listen to during my lonely commute to work (because it was 2020 and literally no one else had to actually go to their office anymore). Then it was … Continue reading
A Playlist
Every once and awhile I look at Erik and say, “Hey. We got MARRIED!”. Losing my dad so soon after the wedding took the wind out of our sails, to put it mildly, and certainly took the focus off being … Continue reading
