Today is our 16th year anniversary. We’ve had some good times and some not so good times. We’ve taken many wonderful trips together – Paris, Scotland, Czech Republic, New Zealand and Northern Italy to name a few. Renting a house in Tuscany and an apartment in Paris were two of my favorite adventures. We have [...]

Obama 27, McCain 3

The sign count has changed significantly in our traditionally republican neighborhood. The last count was Obama 14, McCain 5. It is now Obama 27, McCain 3. Two of the McCain signs have disappeared. I wonder if these neighbors felt out numbered.
Meeting My Parents

I bought a ticket to fly to St. Louis in November. I’ll be able to visit K and introduce him to my parents. We’ve been together for almost sixteen years and he has never met my parents. He’s never met my sister either but that’s another story. K did meet my brother and his family [...]
One Year Ago

I’m coming up on my one-year cancer anniversary. I had a lung X-ray along with blood work yesterday. This morning I had a CT scan. I’ll see my oncologist on Monday to get the test results. It’s a little strange having the tests run and then waiting a week to get the results. I feel [...]
Miss Jones, Miss Grace Jones

Grace Jones is about to release a new album called Hurricane. This reminds me of the time I saw her perform in Dallas at the Starck Club (The Starck Club was an old warehouse that was turned into a nightclub. It was designed by Phillippe Starck and featured unisex bathrooms that were very controversial for [...]
Baby Needs A New Pair of Shoes

After work I went to Cherry Creek Mall looking for a new pair of shoes. I went to almost every shoe store in the mall. The mall was packed for a Friday afternoon. I guess the recession hasn’t hit the well heeled yet (sorry, I couldn’t resist that one). When I was in Saks and [...]
Marina

Marina has been a fixture on local art scene for as long as I can remember. Nobody I know seems to know her story but there’s a lot of speculation about her. Some people think she is transgendered. Marina is tall probably around six feet with a medium build. I would guess she’s at least [...]

I was talking to my friend Judy yesterday. She’s leaving soon to go visit her son, Bailey, who lives in a small city in New England. Judy is concerned about her son’s mental health due to a recent string of unfortunate events. It all started when he lost his job. Then the mother of Bailey’s [...]
It Doesn’t Make Sence to Me

Our neighbors had plans drawn up to renovate their kitchen and dinning room. Their preliminary financing was approved so they submitted their plans to the homeowner’s association for approval. The renovation called for altering the façade and roofline so the architectural board and executive board had to approve the plans. The plans were approved since [...]
My Low-key Weekend
Posted in Uncategorized on October 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I had a pretty good weekend. I went to a few art galleries on Friday night. Saw a great show at Space but the art was out of my price range. The tragic Marina was touring the galleries too. I haven’t seen this mess in a long time. She looked like she’s been sleeping in [...]
