{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} What keeps this gal’s mind churning when she’s cabined up with us old people? Puzzles, games, and Kiwi crates cover a lot of ground (recently we have a glut of geography ‘Atlas’ boxes; we visited Indonesia the other night, resplendent with a ‘batik’ bag and aContinue reading “Duendesday Already!”

Monday’s Musing
What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness. ~ John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley

Duendesday!
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} Pre-snow adventures – as usual, out in the weather, underdressed though after half a foot of fluffy wet snow, she was head-to-toe bundled.

All the Tuesday Happenings
It has been a very busy week – more storms (our first Nor’Easter of the year – 6″ of wet heavy snow that has now turned to dense ice) with a lot of power loss.

Haps for Tuesday
I spend a lot of time at my desk lately – between teaching, tutoring, and writing my own dissertation my desk is my anchor. Therefore, I spend a lot of time looking out my window at the goings-on in the world. I don’t see much of the world, per se, but I can see theContinue reading “Haps for Tuesday”
Monday’s Musing
RainBY KAZIM ALI With thick strokes of ink the sky fills with rainPretending to run for cover but secretly praying for more rain. Over the echo of the water, I hear a voice saying my name.No one in the city moves under the quick sightless rain. The pages of my notebook soak, then curl. I’veContinue reading “Monday’s Musing”
