I saw this guy on the subway platform this morning; he looked really put together from about twenty feet away as I stood there at the end of my platform listening to the dulcet tones of Ira Glass. He was talking into a phone and looking at some other electronic doodad in his hand. But then I wandered over to that bench to sit down and I realized he was babbling this low-grade neurotic mania into the phone and pressing what looked like the same button over and over again on the doodad. Maybe it was ESC! ESC! ESC! But I couldn’t tell because he was speaking maybe Hebrew?
I thought of him just now as I sit here at my desk at work because I feel like I’m repeating the serenity prayer in my own head without realizing it. Am I talking out loud? I’m sick with this pesky cold. I have things happening at work that simply cannot get solved in the 20-something hours I’m paid to be here every week and I’m taking them home in my head like a monkey on my back. God grant me the serenity, indeed. And maybe stop thwarting my to-do list!

Hi Krissa,
It was so nice meeting your mom this past week. My mom was very enthusiastic about this reunion, and I was equally excited to meet this great friend, that I have heard alot about these past couple of months. Your mother is sooo sweet and genuine. I think you must inhibit alot of that great energy too. :0)I have been reading your blogs, and I have been very entertained, especially about Nano. I have three little ones at home…4 legged of course..and they keep me busy. Jack is like Nano in that he pees, when he gets excited and when that leash comes out, his little bladder already got the signal to just relieve himself. OH!! It’s work, but I am shooting for a success all the way in getting him trained. lol Oh! I wish you luck too, although your Nano looks like he’s got it down better with that pad and all. I have tried that, but may give it another shot. I got inspiration from reading that tidbit. lol By the way, I read that you are trying new foods this new year and that you are headed toward giving sushi a try. Go for it!! It is the best!! I crave it all the time. I long for more sushi buddies, b/c it isn’t everyone’s favorite. My mother still remains the first on my call list for sushi buddies. I bugged the hell out of my friend Ana the other day, but she finally gave in and went. It isn’t her favorite, but she is a good friend. I sense though you have a taste for the eclectic foods, so you just might like it. I side with you on football. Where is the freakin’ ball anyway? lol Yep! How do you follow that sport?! I never was a cheerleader or on the drill team like you, but I can say that I just was a copycat. I sat in the bleachers with my friends, and when everyone cheered, I went along with it. You couldn’t ask me what just happened, b/c I would just probably say…”I don’t know? I just got here.” lol So true!!! You make some great points. Keep on with your writing. You definately have a gift. I love to write myself, and I draw alot from everyday life. There are incidents like overhearing conversations, confusion in a store, work scenarios and so much more that really open up my creativity. Observation nsych’ with Creativity can make for great writing. Well, I am here at the computer with Jack in my lap. My little Terrier is soooo spoiled. I am so glad it is almost Friday. Talk to you later Krissa.
