Once in a Blue Moon

September 1, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 4 Comments

I remember watching Moonstruck many years ago, with its stunning, jaw-dropping moon that hung like a brilliant disk in the night sky. It was the perfect touch in a quirky film populated by eccentric characters, as they pieced together their unusual love lives. But once in a blue moon (if we’re lucky), the stars seem […]

Rest, Recreation, and Flying Foxes

August 25, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 7 Comments

A day for a little of this and a little of that, catching up on things that have been set aside, and a few discoveries on the Internet. One of those intriguing tidbits? Flying foxes. Well, flying fox bats, that is, with a wing span of six feet! This was a random Internet “find” courtesy […]

An Unplanned Day

August 12, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 14 Comments

Now and then, an unplanned day “just happens.” Here are a few moments from mine. A lovely walk through an  old city neighborhood, wandering into an area with street vendors a-plenty, gazing at their colorful, handmade wares, people out of doors enjoying an end of summer day. While I managed to pass on the tattoo […]

Martians?

August 5, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 5 Comments

Thrilled about the Martian landing? (No, not here. There. You know. The Red Planet!) Are you planning on tuning in to CNN tonight – late – or to NASA? What’s not to love about pure science? Space exploration in search of life? And to Mars at that? All sarcasm aside, I am still enamored of […]

Damage Control

August 3, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 15 Comments

Ever wake up to a passel of problems – not of your making? I could chalk up the recurring rumblings to Murphy’s Law. I could surrender any and all ambitions (delusions?) I stubbornly retain about refashioning my life, and become my Truest Secret Self: an eccentric  Hat Lady-Cat Lady, but one with great shoes, natch. […]

Mystery Photos (Summer Sonnet)

July 27, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 19 Comments

I. Where’s Waldo in this picture? Not the point. But mystery photos here, for now, abound. It couldn’t be that Wolfie blew this joint! But where on Earth might little Wolf be found? Right here right now as always, I will say. My keyboard and my cell phone are not far. You know I dreamed […]

Don Draper Dreams

July 10, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 1 Comment

“I want less mess around here,” he says. “And that means less stuff. We’re selling this place, and we’re living more simply.” Not the words I expect from Don Draper, and I wonder how it is that I’m witness to this private conversation. Well, somewhat private. It’s a small guestroom in a part of the […]

Mini Monster

July 9, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 12 Comments

Ah, the Big House. The one that drove me (and no doubt the neighbors) crazy for… let’s see… 12 months? 18 months? Oh, it was a seemingly endless period of time as the noise, mess, and general disturbance was unavoidable. Daily. Then there was the nail in my tire requiring (expensive) repair – hardly the […]

Reading Rituals

July 1, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 8 Comments

Wild plots. Heroes with superpowers. Gadgets, get-ups, gizmos… Does anything go, if it gets our kids to read? I recall summers as a time for unwinding – at least in some measure: a little sun, a little swimming, no commitments that were too trying for the gray matter. But there was room for reading – […]
