Write one leaf in which you describe your reasons...
A slant of light illuminates the lianas growing on a window in the studio apartment where I live. Upstairs, on the landing of my neighbor’s flat, a tortoise-and-tiger shorthair cat meows, marking her territory on the spiral staircase.
Somewhere in the green tumble of our landlord’s back yard, two dark blue cats (English shorthairs, perhaps?) rustle in the leaf litter, startled from a...

What I'd like in 2011
Less concern trolling! My friend E. and my sister A. have the most uncanny knack for making me feel microscopic. In E’s case, it happens via the “what are you doing with your life?” harangue. With A., it starts with “where have you been, you had me worried sick…” and continues with “and what about the furniture/art/collectibles”! And whoever is...

A Christmas/Yuletide/Holiday question.
What are three things you do not want to find under the tree?
Speaking strictly for me:
A date with Michael Savage;
A lifetime subscription to Cosmopolitan; and
A backstage pass to a Sarah Brightman concert.

I took a Harry Potter quiz on FB.
Was hoping for Slytherin, but got Ravenclaw. No big deal. That’s a cool house, too.
Where did it go?!
My Brodsky quote seems to have fallen into a wormhole. I hope it turns up again, and soon.

Happy (early) birthday, Herr Ludwig...
Tomorrow marks the 240th birthday of the great composer Ludwig von Beethoven.
Unlike Schroeder (the Beethoven-obsessed tyke from Peanuts), I shall not be propping up a bust of the master, or singing “Ode to Joy” as I cut into a cake. First of all, I don’t have that kind of cash. Second, I think a viewing of Immortal Beloved (courtesy of my local library) will more than suffice.

Bienvenido turistas!
Come to lovely South Florida, where the sun shines and the winds cut to the marrow…
You heard right. It’s December, and for some wild reason or other (an Arctic front that has meandered this way) the weather has been on the chilly side. Yes, I know, what I call chilly is what someone else would call bracing. And I seriously doubt that I shall see snow, except on TV.
But for everyone...

Chain letters
Sometimes my sister likes to mass e-mail chain letters.
And I delete them, as a rule.
Not because I hate my sister; I may not always like her, but that’s a story for a different time.
Most of these mass mailings are chockablock with little right-wing memes, religious urban legends, and the vague dread of liberals bashing Christians. I don’t like the idea of half-truths and outright...

"These are the times that try to try my soul"*
(…with apologies to Dreams So Real)
This week has taken some of the life out of me. I’ve been angry, nostalgic, and just plain-out sad, and every day, whatever else happens, I’ve given over to crying.
Even when I’ve done something that makes me happy (e.g., complete a job interview, make arrangements with pine boughs, look at Christmas lights), at some point I feel as if...
