Can’t stop crying. In the holding tank I built for myself It’s feeding time And I start to feel afraid ‘Cause I’m the last one left in line. The endless string of summer storms That led me to today Began one afternoon with you Long ago and far away. And someone leads the beast in [...]

I’ve been debating all day whether or not to write this one down, but I don’t want to forget it, so I’m going to do my best to put it down exercising all due discretion but not changing any details, because when it comes to dreams, the littlest detail can be very important. Here goes. [...]

When my family moved back here from California when I was five we left our dog Mickey with my grandparents in San Diego because my parents didn’t want to put him through the long quarantine Hawaii has. I don’ t know if my sister was old enough to understand (or if she even remembers this), [...]
R. Obviously. Sheri. We had a near miss for a couple of weeks in college. We were drawing closer when she met this other guy and veered off, leaving me clutching at air. I’m sure I’ve written about her in this space before. We’re FB friends now and she’s still the cutest dang girl I [...]
Ideal: (these are just to give an idea of what I’d REALLY like; the specific criteria are not hard-and-fast, but guidelines) Female. Between 34 and 42. Grew up here. Would love an ILH girl (non Punahou), but this is really gravy. Understands (and admires) the fact that I am an Eagle for life. Attends Southern [...]

I really messed it up myself—at least the second half—by not getting my thesis finished, but whatever. I’ll get that blasted thing [...]
The other reason I’ve been scarce lately is that I’m really pushing myself to get my blasted paper done. I have now read and tallied fifty-five of the eighty-six Newbery Books, including a couple of losers recently (Miss Hickory (1947) and Strawberry Girl (1946) were appallingly bad), a couple of not-bad-but-not-goods (Secret of the Andes [...]
Work has been good so far this semester. The kids have been receptive, my lessons have been interesting, and getting a prep period back in the middle of the day has made a world of difference. I was super-duper stressed out about that course I took an incomplete grade in last semester, but the professor [...]
Here’s to the new year. May she be a damn sight better than the old And may we all be home Before she’s through. That’s a toast given by Colonel Sherman T. Potter in one of the very best episodes of MASH (the passage of a whole calendar year in just 24 minutes). It has [...]
