I am such a diva.

Seriously. My last post? Pathetic.

I'm in the high-tech business! I know that information flows in at warp speed and part of my job is to manage it well.

I guess I just wasn't managing it well right at that moment so I whined a little.

I apologize. You guys deserve better than that. Like TV trivia, perhaps.

Ok, so what about Dexter? Is anyone watching that right now? I am so hooked on that show, when Deborah dropped yet another f-bomb in a conversation in the last episode, I looked at G.G. and said, 'You know, she's charming in kind of a prickly, fresh, no bullshit way.' He just looked at me and said he didn't think she could be considered charming..that wasn't quite the right word.

Ok, G.G.

And what about House??? I love that show, I do, but I have to confess, it's starting to wear on me a little. I'm tiring of the incessant mind games, though I love the new characters, and the reintro of the older ones...that was cool. But it's starting to feel strained and really contrived to me. This has happened before, where I'm forced to take a House break, so I'm not too worried, just noticing is all.

And Grey's Anatomy? WTH? Teddy..poor Teddy. And Derek and Meredith, can they handle this setback? And what about Avery and Lexi and...there is a whole buttload of darkness right now that they need to start digging out of, in  my opin. The prior episode had some of the older style lightness and banter and general humor that we've all come to love in those characters/situations..but this last one. Yikes. I had just started to believe that the beloved crew could work their myriad problems out..now, I'm not so sure. And honestly, I would have watched this week's episode no matter what anyway!

Oh, and those of you who know me will love this. I won the football pool this week! It was no small feat, and it came down to points at the very end (which my boss, who happened to be in the running, too, is protesting...something about combined score closest to, but not over, which was the rule for the last pool we had but not for this one so I was two points over the combined but he was six points under so technically I was closest) so it was exciting and G.G. actually kept me updated during the annual boys soccer banquet last night..he'd occasionally whisper the score...which felt a little clandestine, and fun..

I don't know for sure what the pot looks like, but I'm going to split it with G.G.

Because we all know that without his insight, I'd NEVER stand a chance of winning that silly pool, even for just one week.

Hello there 48

And where on earth did 35-47 go??? But I'm being overly dramatic. Again. See, four dozen? Not such a bad place to be when you're me. I've done a lot, I've seen a lot, I've raised a family and landed airplanes and docked yachts and landed (then released of course!) a marlin and climbed mountains and run a LOT of miles and loved deeply and long and hard and felt..so much that, surprisingly did not kill me..that I feel stronger and more centered and energized than in a long time. And I'm blessed with more than one person can ever rightly expect in one lifetime. And I now possess the wisdom to observe a nanosecond longer than I would have 20 years ago before jumping headlong into a new adventure. Which means many less mistakes but still the desire to stretch and grow and be better and more open and generally less judgemental and overall more accepting and mostly, mostly, knowing that this gift of life is precious and special and mine to experience any way ...

It's been a minute

Oh, what a summer it's been! Heat, the likes of which we have never seen seems to be enveloping the planet. They told us this would happen, and it is.  Now what? Is it time to think underground bunkers? To really explore moon colonies? To continue, on an individual basis to do what we feel we can to help the greater effort? We bought a hybrid two years ago. We'll probably buy an electric car once we feel like the infrastructure is in place, but right now, it's not.  We recycle. Glass ( WHO is drinking all of that wine?! I ask myself each time I toss the bottles into the big bin.). Food. We compost all but animal products, and use it in the garden.  Cardboard/cans/plastics go in the recycle bin each Tuesday. My husband thinks the whole recycle thing is a big scam, and that all of the recycling and trash gets taken to the same place - the dump - because there isn't adequate staffing to sort and really carry out the recycle process.  I feel this is a cynical view, but ...

More angst on the unfinished book

Bear with me here, as I'm nearly at a decision point with this project. Really, I am. As I've reread and contemplated writing the finish, then going back and scrubbing and editing like crazy and generally attempting to update a piece I began so long ago, I've become exhausted. Repeatedly. Last night, in a text exchange with Daughter, I explained I'd picked up the manuscript again and was seriously thinking of finishing it. And she replied, 'Mom, you should just start something new. That thing is almost 20 years old now, and you're a completely different person than you were when you started it. Just know that I look forward to a finished project out of you one day, and really, why not go for something more current and stop wasting time on the old stuff you'll practically have to rewrite anyway? ' Out of the mouths of babes, right?
