So my kid is up at 4:00 am, Friday morning. Yes, this morning. In the kitchen. Which of course wakes me up, after four blissful hours which possibly could have extended into five. I’m a light sleeper no matter what, and these days, that’s an understatement.
So I pad out to the kitchen (10 steps [...]

Ah Chéri,
From our window there is all we require: slate rooftops against inky blues at twilight, gulls that caw and dive at dawn, the belly of the alley below as it swells and recedes. I tell myself this sea is a trick of light, sun and shadow on a shuddering of gray, visible waves of [...]

I wandered into this, compliments of Google. Perhaps you’ve seen it elsewhere, but I loved it. (But then, what’s not to love? It’s delicious and romantic in an endearing, geeky sort of way.)

Are you part of a non-traditional couple? Committed or married, but not actually living in the same residence as your partner?
I’m reminded of an early episode of Sex and the City, in which Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie asks her love interest, Mr. Big, what his ideal living arrangement is. “This,” he says, lying next to [...]

Leaving… on a jet plane…

La foi, le rêve, et tout le reste
J’ai rêvé, j’ai rêvé de la foi, de la foi au-delà du dogme, de la foi dans le sens de l’espoir qui s’installe au fond de chaque individu ; de la foi dans le sens où toute religion n’insiste pas sur un seul chemin ; de la foi [...]

But honestly, do you really want to know these ten things?

Apparently there are sparkly strings attached to the very lovely and luscious literary award bestowed upon me by a Femme d’un certain Age…
Part and parcel of receiving the Sugar Doll distinction is the requirement to reveal 10 things you don’t know about [...]
