In 1983, while at The Bear in Chico, I met Glen’s friend Russell. I was there with Glen whom I had only recently met through our mutual friend, Pete. Russell was a friend of Glen’s from college and like Glen, he was in town to visit and though Glen was there to visit me, RussellContinue reading “Joyce”

This morning, I set on my wandering, AND just wandered emotionally . . . at least a bit. The remnants of my fall of two days ago remains as a bothersome left hip. It is getting better. And is a stark reminder that, often, life evolves incrementally. The title of this post is derived fromContinue reading “This Way, Then That”

Sergio Leone’s wonderful movies, often containing a young Clint Eastwood we couldn’t take our eyes off, were made of a simple elegance. At least on the surface. Heading to NOLA I know it was my intent, and I believe JDT shared for her own reasons, to “prove” to myself I could participate in living howContinue reading “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly”

So, why the title? I’ll spend the next several paragraphs exploring the reason. Reason? Nope, not close. Thoughts? Sure, but still mostly off target. Explanation? Maybe, but really there is no explaining my mind, just wonderment. Purpose, again very close, and really pompous. So, maybe I’ll discover “it” as I write this post. After all.Continue reading “Going Straight”

Just wow. Glen and I returned to Molly’s Rise and Shine for breakfast this morning. It’s a ways out Magazine toward the Garden District in a nice little neighborhood. It’s a definite Uber ride for us to get there. Glen loves their biscuits and gravy; I love their fried chicken biscuit sandwich. Whew. Today itContinue reading “Diversity of Love – AKA Uber Update”

With my new tendency in hand, I headed out for a wander. My body resisted. Yesterday, we went to Preservation Hall. The iconic site of music we had never enjoyed. It was quite hot and humid, the dog days of summer are approaching. And I had an “extended” episode. I love this term; it isContinue reading “Sundays”

As we all know, Glen loves to take public transportation. He loves the process of “figuring it out” and I agree, there may be no better way to get a sense of the soul of a city. However, I think that there is an equally interesting research project out there to be had by studyingContinue reading “Uber Drivers Tell the Story”

I’ve been mulling over this post for a few days. And I’m still not exactly sure what I want to say. So I should just dive in… Last year while in Brooklyn, I’m pretty sure I wrote about the importance of relationships in my life. In many ways…relationships are the most important thing that weContinue reading “What’s Basketball Got to Do with Sisters by Another Mother?”

I know many of you are sports fans, while at least a few are repulsed by the very notion of sports (BTW, I distinguish between sport and sports – thank you Dr. Harry Edwards). My post this beautiful May NOLA morning is intended to question not state. So, here goes. My earliest sports memory isContinue reading “Jordan Poole is . . .”

First, I want to commend Glen for his new “tendency” to go out and WANDER in the morning! My wanders often bring me the greatest joy of my day because…you just never know what you will find along the way. So below you will find some photos from today. I set out to Bywater BakeryContinue reading “Morning Wanders”
