You’d have to be living under a rock if you didn’t recognize 47 percent as the new Number-du-Jour. Yesterday’s media frenzy over the secretly taped Mitt Romney video continues to fuel discussion over the presidential election, the GOP, not to mention the meaning of the 47 percent figure which Mr. Romney referenced while speaking to […]

Big Ideas

September 2, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 12 Comments

Who doesn’t want to be a visionary? Who doesn’t want to be known for big ideas – the sort that inspire a community, or better yet, a nation? In today’s Sunday New York Times, an editorial by Thomas L. Friedman, “It’s Still Halftime in America,” speaks to the need for long-term vision in the context […]

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 […]

Wishing You Were Here

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

Exotic destination? Virtual vacation? Ever feel like you need to get away from it all – somehow? I suspect I could send my own postcard from the edge right now. Perhaps from a gorgeous beach on an exotic isle. From a small cabin shaded by old trees. (But not so remote that I’m deprived of […]

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 […]
