i skipped today's poem,

and instead relaxed with Bob

as husband and wife.

identity

without a full map,

you have to create yourself.

then you can find you.

tenacious

amid the chaos,

and the anger, and the hate,

the sun keeps rising.

 

fflotus

incivility.

it feels like it's all around.

must keep going high.

duh

i am so tired.

why didn't i go to sleep

a long time ago?

"alternative facts"?

you've got to be kidding me.

dub-ul-u-t-f?!!!

corn-kernal-size hail!

from lucky jeans to the car,

got completely soaked!

patriots. falcons.

headed to the super bowl.

4 am alarm.

off! like ripping a band-aid,

and grab a new day

wedded

ahhh...the simple joy

of a quiet dinner, home,

next to my husband

remains

leftover prime rib

who could have known it makes great

pasta AND tacos?

leisure

scones in the oven --

from a mix, but nonetheless.

i love vacation
