it’s still bitterly cold

I didn’t sleep with the window open last night (it’s still bitterly cold), and it’s another picture perfect day except that the morning is about 30 degrees too cool for my tastes. Breakfast with my lawyer, one of several, actually, then work at the bookstore doing readings. Lawyers are like friends, you know, you can … it’s still bitterly cold

the floor is cold

I slept with a window slightly cracked, and even the floor is cold this morning. On the weather maps, there’s a big, cold icy finger which stabs right into our hearts. I keep waiting to hear back from a client who booked me for readings at a party, only, where’s the party? I have an … the floor is cold

Free will sucks

“Free will sucks,” suggested a friend in an E-mail. I couldn’t agree more. And there is no easy resolution to the question about how to deal with love and a soul mate situation. None. There are no definitive answers, either. After rush hour was long over, an awe – inspiring thunderstorm rolled through town. Reports … Free will sucks

SouthWest Airlines

It was not really an overcast day, not really a cloudy day, but an over present grayness to added a certain pallor to the light, and as I passed some Bluebonnets, I noticed that the early flowers were beginning to fade — it was the most delicate shade of very light purple.

Still, she was amazed that I understood the Cajun delicacy so well. I may be a recent convert, but I … mud bugs

wrestling with a tough metaphor

I was wrestling with a tough metaphor all morning, not the usual stuff, but a morning meditation which got interrupted with the phone, and then the fax machine, and then the phone again, and then a short hike around the lake, and still, I have this unresolved definition. I was looking for a good way … wrestling with a tough metaphor

so much culture

I think the best comment I’ve gotten today about the weekly game show question included a comment about “I’ll sleep on it.” It’s been a very busy day. I was at UTEP, for about 30 seconds, this morning. Nice campus, if a little on the small side. But considering the last degree I got came … so much culture

it was well after closing time

I knew there was going to be a shift in the temperature, but even my Austin self wasn’t quite prepared for the desert winter which blew in last night. On the way back from the show and dinner, the wind was kicking up a mighty storm. This morning was cold and gray. About the first … it was well after closing time
