Weepy

April 1, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 7 Comments

Good things are happening. Some I’ve written about, and others, I haven’t. I’m trying to process them, to manage them, to make adjustments. Some days I think I’m doing okay. Other days, not so much. Most of the time I have the sensation of treading water, sliding beneath the surface, gasping for air, then forcing […]

Playing by the Rules

November 10, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 13 Comments

I find myself sitting in traffic. It’s a dangerous intersection of off-ramps and commercial roadways, with a confusing tangle of turns and lights. But it’s past rush hour and before lunch. Not too bad, I think. I’ll make it through in five or six minutes. Most of the drivers are waiting patiently. Inching forward as […]

Looking forward

July 14, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 15 Comments

I am looking forward to having food in my fridge and a filled pantry. It’s been nine days since I last shopped; I’m down to one Lean Cuisine, one frozen pork chop, four microwaveable soups, and two yogurts long past their expiration dates. I am not looking forward to visiting the supermarket this morning. It […]

Sometimes, all you can do as a parent of teens is sit back and hold your breath.

Bad Mood? Let’s Bitch!!

March 21, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 40 Comments

There is always another side. Another story. On the other end of the phone line or behind the deli counter. The sullen neighbor, taking out his garbage can. Or the truth behind the man or woman who disappears from your life without explanation. There are overworked employees at the big company who screw up. Maybe […]

The Fairness Doctrine

February 1, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 18 Comments

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 minor injuries and the car was totaled. I was without regular employment at the time, and therefore without disability insurance […]
