We all have our eccentricities. I have mine, I’ll bet you have yours. Sometimes they’re things we don’t share with the whole world. Or maybe what goes on at home isn’t known in the office, and vice versa.

Wham-bam toodle-oo, bamboo, and pictures, too — part four
Posted in animals, dogs, gardening, life, nature, pets on March 31, 2008 | 16 Comments »
So it works now. I have this nifty ”visual” toolbar in my WordPress “Write” screen, along with my “code” toolbar, and it makes it way easier to place photos in the post. No more hassling with pictures running off the screen, etc. Once I import the picture I’ve cropped elsewhere I have a little box I grab [...]
Bamboozled - part one

I am going to write to you about bamboo, and what is entailed in its removal. This is part of why I’ve been so delinquent recently. Or remiss, at least — time spent with pick and shovel more often leading to collapse in the easychair than tapping a keyboard.
But first, some happy news on the [...]
Emergency Preparedness

If the world were to begin shaking and tumbling and the streets of the Financial District filled with shards of broken glass falling from the office highrises, I would take some comfort, were I to survive and be trapped high in a building, in knowing there was a first aid kit with high-quality anesthetic near [...]

I want to give some money away.
I do not want to give my money to people who will use it to send me more solicitations for money.

The wellsprings, for a friend
Posted in gardening, life, nature, writing on November 23, 2007 | 12 Comments »
The rains come down gentle, kissing foliage, or they pound down hard and forceful, lashing the trees; they arrive as steady, dull and gray as a morning commute, hour after hour, or the waters reach us not as rain at all, but as mists and fogs, as the heavy morning dew drenching the rags wiping [...]
Onward, Foggily, into Obscurity
Posted in animals, commute, dogs, life, nature, pets, rants, thoughts, walking on November 2, 2007 | 8 Comments »
Incredible fog this morning. When I got up at what my clock radio says is 4:40 but which I know to be 5:40 (damned Congress futzing with daylight savings time! I’m stumbling over dogs in the dark and it’s their $#%& fault!) I looked out our large bedroom window and the streetlights had that hazy [...]
