Meanderer’s Musing: By bike and by bookmobile

Today, I didn’t walk, but I did bike. And I did go around parts of the county via bookmobile. I will share just a few impressions from my meandering. First by bike: It was 63 degrees this morning. On my bike, it felt quite cool to me, almost cold, and I wondered how much of that [...]

Forty little monkeys jumping on a building, one fell off and broke my head

Reading the promotional copy, the show sounds fascinating, referencing Indian and German religious and folk traditions/myths as well as the current problem of “the plague of monkeys in real [...]

Meanderer’s Musings: Jogging my ear

For the first time in a long time I went for a run in my neighborhood. Well really, it was more of a jog. As I jogged down the trail, I noticed that the faster I go the more attuned to sound I become. Perhaps it is because much of the time my eyes are [...]

Today I will list ten things/experiences/people/places for which I give thanks. Today, I give thanks for: 1. The way the light shines on my cat’s black fur, creating spots of silvery brightness and browner spots that contrast with the deep black of her coat. 2. Cooking hoppin john from scratch. I soaked the black eyed [...]

Meanderer’s Musings: Sexism, cats, birds, planes, flowers, trains, families, more sexism and directions

While I am not agoraphobic, I sometimes have to fight against the urge to stay holed up at home. Today, it took quite a bit of self talk to propel my ass out the door. I simultaneously wanted and did not want to walk. I drank coffee slowly, started reading a book I’ve read several [...]

Good work wind wishes

It is Friday, late afternoon. The sky is overcast. The wind promises, as it races through the branches and leaves of trees, rain. I sit on my front deck as I type these words. A tall glass of iced water in a pink plastic cup rests next to me. The wind rattles the tarp that [...]
