I was too tired to dig for my camera last night, but standing in in the baggage department of SFO, musing over the arrivals board while I waited for my bag, I felt grim satisfaction as I saw “CANCELLED” in bold yellow letters next to most of the flights out of the Northeast, including the […]
[update] I think this cron job worked! (I just set it again for 5:15 p.m. today) (On 12/21 I wrote: “It’s 9 p.m. and I’ll schedule this for 9:03.”) Bookmark to:
We’re about to head out on our annual shopping day excursion to San Francisco (we notoriously never actually buy anything; we just have a nice ladies’ lunch, enjoy the holiday window displays, and make fun of the overpriced clothes in Needless Markups).

By day, I am deep into ontological dances, planning the new MPOW. By night, I write, attend classes about writing, read, and think about writing. For school, I’m getting ready to write a meditation for next week, start on a workshop piece due in three weeks, and plow through a pile of readings. For work, […]
The fall semester for my MFA program kicked into gear, and we’re also juggling a household move (to Palo Alto, for any of you in that neck of the woods). All very fun and exciting, even if life tastes a bit overcomplicated at the moment. I woke up at 3 a.m. last week angry at […]
