REALITY?: Family

Posted on August 9, 2007 by Susan

Children that won’t know me, blood of my blood thinned by the water of greed, flows down and, drying, leaves no mark nor trail. Generations beget forgetfulness of branches cut from the tree, still reaches up and, touching, streaks clouds … Continue reading → Continue reading →

BLOGGING: One of Them Days…

Posted on August 9, 2007 by Susan

REALITY?: Spin Cycle

Posted on August 8, 2007 by Susan

Driving, chewing gum, curving up the road at double speed.  Only just because that is the kind of day it is; stand-still-summer-sweat.  So move and move and roll around the land a bit to try it out.  Taste it and … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY?: Spousal Competitiveness

Posted on August 7, 2007 by Susan

Wandering around the Farmington Malls on Sunday, getting shoes at Bob’s and browsing Barnes & Noble, the man and I stop into Luna’s for just a snack, a slice of sausage pizza each.  "I beat!" I said–a house tradition–and ask … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY?: Belief

Posted on August 7, 2007 by Susan

Read an article in an April 2007 issue of Time magazine yesterday at (where else?) the doctor’s office about Albert Einstein’s answers to the question of a power beyond science and the immortality of man. Interesting question to ask a … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY? & WRITING: Editing Angina

Posted on August 6, 2007 by Susan

Sitting on the doctor’s table, fully dressed–I like that part, as compared to the gynecologist’s–swinging my feet because they do not reach the platform and reading health posters on the wall because I forgot to bring a book in with … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY?: The Dreaded Doctor’s Visit

Posted on August 6, 2007 by Susan

Unless they  catch me or I myself suspect a serious problem (like three band-aids won’t stop the bleeding) I do not go regularly to a doctor.  I do not even have a primary care physician, depending upon the gynocologist I … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING: Huh, who me?

Posted on August 4, 2007 by Susan

Little by little I’m chipping away at Todo Mountain, though it’s more like a response to the shrieks and screams and threats and disappointment–honest or faked–of those I may have let down in framing (customers) or housework (husband).  Reading is … Continue reading → Continue reading →

TECHNOLOGY: Burn-In Repair

Posted on August 4, 2007 by Susan

REALITY?: Set Free

Posted on August 3, 2007 by Susan

Relief to hear the law’s no longer looking for me; an appeal was withdrawn and so I can unlock my doors and hover in the heated daylight hour. Tonight I must go a-picking.  Cucumbers each large enough to fill a … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY?: Outlaws

Posted on August 2, 2007 by Susan

Willie and me, hiding from the Sheriff.  Honest to God. It’s not as bad as it sounds, I mean, I’m not the bad guy.  I’ve just been warned that I’m Wanted as a witness in something I really don’t want … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Posted on August 2, 2007 by Susan
