In a former life I was a court jester
From A Catalog of Client Types, page 38DD: This client’s inability to complete simple tasks will be a frequent source of frustration. She’s never met an excuse she didn’t long to try on and check out in a 3-way mirror. She is misunderstood, stressed, overworked and scantily dressed. After unproductive meetings with her you are tempted [...]

Still a tempest
A couple of months ago I read The Secret Life of Cowboys by Tom Groneberg and I fell in love with his writing. His wife Jennifer’s a lovely writer too and she once commented on my blog, which made me happy.
I have quotes from his book written down and sometimes when I’m hungry I read [...]

It’s definitely hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk day
It’s bloody hot and my brain’s melting. Sometimes I feel dizzy. Before too long I’ll be reduced to a puddle of steaming sweat.

(I know we’re all souls just trying to connect with someone – As Tall As [...]

Pysanky
Ukrainian people are known for their craft of colorful and intricately decorated Easter eggs called pysanky. My mother taught my sister and I how to make these eggs when we were children and the three of us continue this tradition today.
The eggs are decorated by applying hot beeswax to an egg with a stylus. When [...]

Cardmaker
The cats and I are making cards.
I didn’t ask for their opinion, but they give it anyway.
Whatever. I’m a cardmaker. A creative genius. What do cats know anyway?
I listen to the Perishers and enjoy making a mess.
