How much can a koala bear?
Up until a few minutes ago, I was on auto-pilot, numb to it, all rational and stable. This morning, I was still in bed and only awake for a few minutes when the phone rang. My ‘aunt’ (cousin) called to … Continue reading
He died tonight
By the time I’ve finished typing this my ever-so-logical father will be gone. He had an awful childhood but, within the constraints of his emotionally-stunted upbringing, he was a kind and always helpful person. Expressing affection was impossible for him, … Continue reading
Upcoming birthday…
It’s my birthday in a few weeks. Wait…not yet. Nothing for any of us to get excited about. After all, for me, it’s one milestone closer to turning 50 and that means the dreaded letter from the organization for really … Continue reading

I will get around to replying individually, but a big thank you to all who commented and/or sent e-mails. We have all weathered this storm…er…earthquake without any problems, save for the following horrors: As mentioned yesterday, Amélie was sitting in … Continue reading
Earthquake
The cacophony of fire trucks and emergency vehicles continues. The helicopters are up, looking over the city and moving the powerful out of town. We’re all standing outside, wondering when we can go back inside the building. I’m wondering how … Continue reading
Adding a Blogroll
What a dilemma. I have added some widgets to my current blog, but don’t know what to do about the blogroll. I have finally figured out how to add one using Links and Appearance/Widgets (sorry Evie, I should have memorized … Continue reading
