"And what I began to think about is something that I've surely known all along but that somehow, in the midst of our small day-to-day crises and preoccupations of the last few years, has been all too easy to forget. Real life isn't out there in the future somewhere. Real life is not going to begin...

I am here but elsewhere.
It is Wednesday night but I will post tomorrow. I am in a hotel room. My wonderful husband read my last blog, the sentence about how I wanted oh, a weeks vacation and this is what he did. Booked me a room. A room of one's own, I have right...

We've been here for three months now and real life is catching up to us. I was just talking to a (real life) friend yesterday who also has recently moved cross country, though more recently. She said she is in the surreal state of being which I remember from a few months back. In...

The first time, in the morning, was over the internet. In that social meeting...

Midway through 2009, I took a look back over my life of the past two and a half years, and I realized that I had lived, much to my dismay, a storyline that would rival any contrived drama any reality show producer could come up with. My life, like it or not (and I didn't, much), had been the stuff...

Just heard from Ron Nesler who lives here in New Harmony. He transfused some reality into my thinking about the town. Says its arty facade is built on the backs of the working people who don't particularly want the touristy stuff. He has a great website for discussion about local issues, and...

I never, ever wanted to be a teacher -- "I'm never going to teach," I told my family. I also refused to take typing in high school because (as I stated in my snotty way), "Forget it, I'm never going to make my living at a typewriter."
