I will stab anyone who says “Boys will always be boys”

October 8, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

I wasn’t sure that you need to read yet another post on the recent deaths by suicide* of some very young people in this country. I thought it was all over the news and everybody read/heard about it by now. Besides, I will just be preaching to the choir: I have made a conscientious effort to not [...]

Remember where you were when you heard the news?

September 11, 2010 this i believe

Remember where you were when you saw it? For the first time? I am sure all of us (those old enough) do. I was in Boise, Idaho then. I was working as a management consultant, traveling Monday through Thursday. By then, I have been on the project for almost half a year. I wanted to [...]

Sarah Connor I ain’t. Ay, there’s the rub.

July 15, 2010 no manual for parenting

I tell my kids frequently that when the dinosaurs come, RUN. Don’t wait for mommy. Because mommy will be the first one that gets eaten. They always reply, after they are done rolling their eyes, It will not be dinosaurs in the end of the world scenario, mom. Don’t you watch any movies? Well, dinosaur [...]

July 7. Day 78. Remember the Gulf.

July 7, 2010 this i believe

You are probably screaming at the monitor right now: We have the largest environmental disaster on our hand which has had and will continue to have significant impact on people’s lives and livelihood for generations to come. And what did you do? You bought t-shirts from Threadless?! Yes ma’am and sir, yes we did. . . . On [...]

Last Day of Innocence

June 8, 2010 no manual for parenting

He may not know it but today marked an important milestone in my oldest’s life, and also in our life as parents. My husband walked the boys to the bus stop this morning and he even took some pictures of them together waiting for the bus albeit with his phone*. This will be the last time [...]

Waiting

May 25, 2010 therapy in session

. I have been thinking about this exchange in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot a lot lately. ESTRAGON: Let’s go. VLADIMIR: We can’t. ESTRAGON: Why not? VLADIMIR: We are waiting for Godot. . . This exchange recurs throughout the play. No progress is made. Nothing is changed.  Both acts end on the same verbal promise [...]

Heartbreaking

May 12, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

. . . . . . . . Our trip to St. Pete Beach, and especially North Beach at Fort De Soto was filled with moments of wonders: . . . . White sandy beaches, calm and clear water, massive expanse of azure that makes one understand what it means to not be able to [...]

Seriously. I could write a dissertation on this

April 24, 2010 marketing at work

My parents watch a lot of TV. They are at a stage where they deserve to do whatever they feel like, really, and my dad’s health does not allow him to stray away too much or too often from stationary activities. That being said, there are three televisions inside the 800-sq-ft. 3- BR apartment, so [...]

To Hell with keeping my mouth shut and ignoring the crazies and the ignorant…

November 19, 2009 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

I thought I could just comment on what has been happening to this country, specifically the latest, hottest, “meme” that is going on and making the news circuit and the blogoshpere and the twitterverse, by reminding all of us, once again, the Golden Rule. Yes, indeed, I am referring to the clever, seemingly harmless and [...]
