I have recently (in the past year or so) been able to really deepen my ties into some good sources for books. I tweaked my Goodreads notifications and now get daily deal emails that regularly tease me with books I want to read. My husband has found some truly treasure-worthy book stores in our area and supports… Continue reading Musing: Books & Time

Memories: Poor Little Mousey….
Poor little mousey. Dead little mousey. Mousey with no head. I only wanted to play... I grew up with this snippet of a poem. I don't even remember any more of it. The problem of course is when mousey still has a head. When mousey is scared witless. When mousey is trying to hide under… Continue reading Memories: Poor Little Mousey….
Memories: Elevator Experience
I had the best experience in an elevator I can remember. It started as I approached my work building from the outside. There was someone a bit behind me (I could see the shadow on the sidewalk) and a man walking towards me. I reached the door first - barely. So I held the door. The man… Continue reading Memories: Elevator Experience
SCOTUS: Upcoming
The cases I am "watching" for the Jan 2017 session.
Life Memories: Milk
In 2008 I was fired from my first out-of-college job. She short version is that it was a family owned/run business and I wasn't family. This was at the beginning of September. In case you don't remember, September is sort of when several banks declared bankruptcy. And I was asking for unemployment with almost 1/2… Continue reading Life Memories: Milk
Memories: Nightmares
Most people I know (as adults) never admit to nightmares. Or at least not regularly. I do. In the litany of options for "why didn't I sleep well last night" I have two: breathing and brain. The breathing one is obvious and there are options for treatment that make sense (better living through chemistry as… Continue reading Memories: Nightmares
Life Memories: Braves
Today in 2010 I went to a Braves game. A new friend at my work said he had an extra ticket and would I like to come along. I said sure. It had already been years since the last baseball game attended and... well it would be a fun change of pace. We met at the… Continue reading Life Memories: Braves
Life Memory: Star Trek 50th
Today is the 50th anniversary of Star Trek's premier on TV. I think it is a perfect day for some self-reflection and future-focused thought. Who do I want to be in 50 years? Or 500 (I mean, obviously, who do I want to be remembered as in 500 years since there is no current method confirmed… Continue reading Life Memory: Star Trek 50th
Life: This week….
This week has been terrible. I keep trying to tell myself it could be worse, but you know what? It is bad enough that I'm chalking into the terrible category and leaving it there. Let's start with the overwhelming stress and terror of putting in an offer on a house over the weekend. We made an… Continue reading Life: This week….
Musings: My Dream Job
Let me begin by saying I love my current job. It's challenging and rewarding in a lot of ways. I have learned to bring my passion into the role in front of me. Because you see, I can't have my dream job. It's not that it doesn't exist. It's that I afford my dream job. Let's… Continue reading Musings: My Dream Job
