I wonder if I’ll ever run out of things to say. If the time will come when I will wake up, pour a cup of tea, and just like when my fingers strain for the last few tiles in a Scrabble bag, I’ll start running out and eventually I’ll be done. Maybe a person is…
Sometimes I’m just not sure there’s room for vanilla anymore. I understand the need for everyone to be represented, but I can’t even relate to most of the movies that are currently out. I’m either inundated with sappy stupid, or I find myself wondering when everything, everyone, became so cool and hip. I think it’s great if there are movies…
I can relate. Not to the mom, I am the Steve Martin character, at least I can get like him more often than not, and I am married to the King of the Roller Coaster. Calm, steady, deal with it as it comes, live for today. Hands up and tight turns are in Michael’s DNA. I’m a…
The blog has felt a little heavy lately. I mean with the emotions and the breathtaking men and…religion even. This weight happens every now and then.

I like kissing. We all have some part of human connection that is particularly appealing. Some people like hugs or holding hands, pretty much everyone jumps right to liking sex. I like that too, but for me it all builds from the kiss. It’s the foundation from which all other warm lovely touches become real.…
I love movies. I’m a sucker for a great romance. Truth is, I’m pretty silly for even a hint of romance. I like it when things work out. I don’t mind the journey or the ups and downs, but I need a happy ending. I’ve watched romances with less than happy endings, Blue Valentine comes…
While I tend to be a little more Sally than Harry, I thought about death today. I was driving home, the sun was rising…oooh, that sounds like a good movie scene. Anyway, I was driving and there was a great song on my iPod. The sunrise was beautiful and I had one of those moments…
