Bubble Tea: Now With More Snot
Okay, so…Bubble Tea?
I recently read about Bubble Tea – a West Coast drink sensation originally from Taiwan. I only skimmed the magazine article in which it was explained so I didn’t fully understand what it was. When I saw a kiosk for Bobocino Bubble Tea in Seattle, I figured I should give it a [...]
Olympic Fever - I Haz It
I have had a terrible earworm for the past two weeks - The Canadian National Anthem.
I would bet that many, many Americans know the first two lines:
O Canada! Our Home and Native Land!
But I’m not sure that many, many Americans know the next two lines, or even all of the the anthem.
I do, and this [...]
I Believe…
in acceptance of all people – race, creed, color, ethnicity, lifestyle
that children should be cuddled more than chided
in baking brownies and calling on the new neighbors

in the promise of spring on that first warm day in April
that learning is lifelong
that stories about the human condition and the ironic, [...]

Setting: Early Evening. Tempest is watching television with two dogs draped across her lap. Thunder enters the room, showered, wearing new pants and shirt and getting ready to leave for a tournament.
Thunder: What do you think of this shirt?
Tempest: Shirt?

Love American Style by the Cowsills
I sense a theme that has nothing to do with [...]
Robby Benson…Triple Word Score!
I’ve been having bits and parts of the same recurring dream lately. At its core is the yearly television showing of the 1939 movie, “The Wizard of Oz.” Now, just stick with me here…
Apparently, here’s the real purpose of the yearly television airing: coded messages. Yes! But only certain people can receive these messages. See, [...]
How Long Can Your Trunk Be if Your Body is so Squatty?
I’ve been thinking a lot about an old friend lately. He would have turned 51 a few weeks ago, and I’ve often wondered how his life might have turned out: would he have dreams fulfilled by now, would he be happy, would be back in my life the way that many of my old friends [...]

In order on shuffle on the IPod while I do homework:
Cuddle Up by The Beach Boys
Desperado by The Eagles
Hello, I Love You by The Doors
Theme from The Courtship of Eddie’s Father by Harry Nilsson

Just in Time for My Spring Fashion Buying Spree!
I used to make outfits like this for fun when I was in high school and college. They were fun and funky. Oh yeah, and clearly showed a sign of youthful immaturity and attention-seeking.
