Lounging.
While the rest of the world works their summer, it’s me and the cats. Lounging.
Born to Lose
When the Bouncing Souls announced they’d be playing discography shows in New York, I was a bit giddy. The years surrounding The Good, the Bad and the Argyle and Maniacal Laughter marks the period in my life where every morsel of discretionary income when to buying and seeing music. And the Bouncing Souls were one of [...]
Cute Kitten Break
KC’s new kitty is likely the cutest thing in the world at this particular moment. Let’s look.

Little delicate weeds get no love. They look like shy, optimistic chit-chatters. “Hey! Hey you! Look how bright and pretty we are!” Holy stigma. “Hi. We’re less enthusiastic than the red ones. Notice us if you wish–or not; we’ll be fine either way.” “Mnmm mnnmmm.” So Delicious Turtle Trails… and I quote, “A gooey non-dairy [...]
Caribbean Chicken Zombie Brain Cupcakes
My very dear and talented Artsparrow hosted a book release party for her first published book, The Zombie Autopsies.

Unfortunately, Shirley, who is 74 years old and struggles with mobility due to Parkinsons and Osteoporosis, is unable to keep Cindy, who has been [...]
Snow Days and Nights/Pantry Turnover
My buddy and I woke up to the chime of my phone. 10 minutes before I received the NYC Alert text, The Electrician delivered the sweet, sweet news of the snow day. I texted the other 5th grade teachers and went back to bed, lulled by the exclamations of the ambitious shovelers outside and the [...]
√ To Do Monday
With the day off, the list of to-do’s was long and scroll-like, starting with two classes at the gym. I did the pilates stretch and alignment class. Given the early morning hour and Park avenue address, it was me and a studio filled with lively blossomed senior ladies. The instructor played Sinatra and lead us [...]
Little Buddies
After we lost Jack, this little buddy started coming around. He’s of obvious relation. Little Buddy‘s first appearance was to comfort the meowing Jack who was tucked into the cat carrier before the first of 4 trips to veterinarians all over the Island. Since that unfortunate day, Little Buddy has been a back porch staple, [...]
