Yesterday I got up at 5:30 AM to drive to Boston for a day of continuing education. I got lucky and it was cloudy - sometimes driving east two hours into the rising sun can be a problem for me ( Read more... )

Tonight I went to an eclectic concert. I heard a variety of wonderful artists and saw some lovely dance. One of my favorite performers was there, and we ended the evening dancing to the Harvey Kaiser jazz band ( Read more... )

I was exhausted this afternoon and laid down on the couch for a moment.  River takes that to mean that I want her to drop a sopping wet tennis ball in my lap.  She did, and I threw it.  It hit the shelf in the corner that is filled with albums.  LPs.  Vinyl ( Read more... )

We went to the symphony last night. I hadn't expected to do that, but I was craving Christmas music and we had access to a babysitter, so we went. I don't dress up often and it was fun to mine my closet for my grandmother's alligator pumps and wear my best jewels.

I crashed a party yesterday and am still astonished at how the other half lives.

A software vendor invited my husband to hear a presentation of how their product will address the new MA data security laws.  I'm very interested in figuring out how to obey this law.  My entire business hinges on me doing this successfully, in fact.  B. asked his ( Read more... )

I'm clawing my way out of the pit.  A tried and true method of hanging onto my shreds of sanity is to go to the weight room and let the oracle of the iPod give me messages.   (That doesn't sound so sane when I put it that way, does it?)

Today I heard Lauryn Hill's "To Zion" and it suddenly made me remember the best thing that has happened to me all ( Read more... )

I've been listening to Dave & Tracy songs all week, in anticipation of this concert tonight.  (This has been aided greatly by my return to running nearly every day.)  So I was on the treadmill today and a slow tune came up - the Mountain, I think - and I slipped it over to something fast.  The song that came up was Paul Simon's "You can call me Al ( Read more... )
