Salted

Where love was once bittersweetSands of regret grindThe edges of sleep Rough;Not smoothSadness,Savory as the ocean’s salt,Pools in my soulAnd the tideLike the foolRushes in

Black Soul Virulent Injera Politics of Dancing

Oh, it has been far too long…
I just walked into the boys’ bathroom and caught all three of them, Larry, Mo, and Curly, slapping each other in the face. It was literally a Three Stooges Moment. I scared the hell out of them just by walking across the threshold; the teeny, tiny room went deadly [...]

BoobTube and YouTube Lacteal Goodness

Oh!  The Google hits I’m gonna get for this one…
Where am I? Well, I’m here and I’ve been working. I’ve been working a lot. ‘Tis the season and I finally have several days off in a row, starting tomorrow. I finished my day at 5:00 today and logged almost about 50 hours in just the [...]

Cold Turkey

Conversation between S and me Thursday:
S: “It’s going to snow.”
Me: “That’s nuts. It’s not going to snow. Ol’ Mark Ronchetti is just an excitable boy.”
S: “It’s going to snow. I’m tellin’ ya…”
Me: “Pa-shaw. But we could sure use it. Between the fire in the Manzanos and the dryness in our house; we need moisture. I’m [...]

Why we do what we do and why we can’t figure out why they do what they do

Man, that title is almost a full sentence!
 But, really, do you ever catch someone doing something and stand there, gawking, wondering why they are doing what they are doing?  I do.
I saw a guy today… he’s a construction worker at the mall/strip center where I work… and there he was, hangin’ out behind the bushes, [...]

Powerful Lessons

Eh. The hours/days/weeks are flying by! Has it really been almost a week since my last post here? Yikes. Has it really been a week since we were in California? More than that… It now seems like only a dream. Fascinating how that happens. This time-dilemma only adds to my feeling that I’m suffering from [...]

First NM Summer

My first summer in New Mexico was so strange to me. The light was different than anything I’d experienced in California. It was bright and hot and brown and dusty. My first recollection of Albuquerque is of those ubiquitous orange barrels. I had expected there to be many little Mexican dudes; each with a colorful [...]

Reflections

I wrote this post in another blog but it’s still just as true for me today.Enjoy:The man in the uniform waved us through the first set of barriers. We slowly pulled forward as the second set of men in uniforms waved us to our spot. We sat perched precariously atop boxes filled with [...]

I’m too sexy for my…

Sometimes I wear clothing that I think would only look good on a skinny person… I got the cutest pair of jammie-pants for my birthday. They are flowing Capri’s and tie to the side with a silk ribbon. They would be very cute on someone’s body… just not necessarily mine. I think they are supposed [...]

I’m Just Sayin’…and Emailin’…and Writin’…

I’ve made some observations in my interviewing/resume submission travels. My first observation is that less really is more. Most business people don’t want to have to bother to read a resume; they prefer to scan it. We’ve become a sound-bite community which means I’ve had to become extremely succinct in my verbosities.
