Big Little Wolf's Daily Plate of Crazy

It’s been a week for writing. For reading and writing. Tapping and typing and can’t turn it off even when my fingers aren’t on a keyboard.  (Useful? Useless? Avoidance Therapy?)
I even took an hour to actually enjoy the web, buzzing with all manner of pleasurable and intriguing vibes. I read about how Stone Fox was [...]

Would you turn back the clock if you could?
Groundhog Day was on TV the other night. I only caught the end of it (I’ve seen it, um… over and over), but it made me consider what it would be like to re-frame a particular day. To “tweak” it. Perhaps a pivotal day, or perhaps a [...]

Unanticipated pleasure
Last evening, for three hours, I hovered in the pleasure zone, my brain and body exquisitely in sync. This was delight the likes of which I haven’t felt in six months, or perhaps as long as a year.

I wandered into this, compliments of Google. Perhaps you’ve seen it elsewhere, but I loved it. (But then, what’s not to love?

Jewelry case, treasure box, and secret objects
Doesn’t every kid have a treasure box? Some sort of secret container tucked under a bed or stowed in the back of a closet?
Made out of cardboard or straw, velvet or plastic. Perhaps an old cigar box. Remember those? Or a metal case that held who-knows-what, subsequently rescued [...]

Life isn’t fair
On a rainy afternoon, three years ago, my elder son and I were in a car accident. He was driving. My son was unhurt as was the other driver, but I sustained injuries, the car was totaled, and I was without employment or disability at the time. I will sum up that day [...]

Did the Jetsons have a jukebox? Did they ever cut the rug? Dance cheek-to-cheek? If not Jane and George, then daughter Judy, or their boy Elroy?
Mosh Pit?
Don’t ask me what prompted thoughts of Jane Jetson, mid-century visions of the future, or spontaneous fits of dancing.
But here we are, memories triggered by who knows what – [...]

Fear of flying – not
I once convinced a tree service owner to belt me into a harness and haul me up some 80 feet into the air, so I might see what it was like. It is something I had always wanted to experience. Other than a bit of stress to the feminine regions due [...]
