Patti Digh’s “Life is a Verb”

I just picked up a copy of this book, written by one of my favourite, philosophical bloggers. The chapter I just finished talked about the writer’s aunt who realised that she was suffering from Alzheimer’s. Inbetweenrealising she was losing her memory and completely losing her memory, there was a poignant story about the attempt to “save face” by grabbing onto any last bit of hope to remember.

Life Is A Verb is not a self-help book. It is a book which discusses the importance of the written word and living each day intentionally. It is not a typical typeset book, either. It’s been made wider to allow for notes to be written in the margin.

I can’t wait to read the rest.

U Can Go 2 America

I imagine in roughly 3 hours or so, someone will be heading towards the airport, en route to America.   I can’t wait.

I remember this feeling of, “Ok, my brain has shut off or all the blood is rushing to my head.. one of those… because I can’t think”.   Short-term memory does not exist for me right now.    I can troubleshoot at work, but that’s about it. 

I did manage to get most of the errands done I needed to, though.    I even found something very cool at the grocery entirely by accident.   YAY!  (I’ll tell you later)

At least I’ve printed the map to the airport.  And I know where the map is.

Tomorrow, I am going to work.   Don’t ask me to do any Linux stuff with Drupal, though (not that you would).   My brain will simply explode.

The Nail Varnish Fairy


When she was little, one night after she’d fallen asleep, I sneaked into her room and painted her nails with sparkly pink nail varnish.

She woke up the next morning and noticed it right off, in utter surpise and excitement that only occurs when you believe “the nail varnish fairy must have visited last night.”

“What does she look like…..?” she asked, with wide-open eyes. 🙂

You Know It’s Cold When The Dogs Pee Icicles

-7F, is what it was outside this morning. The windchill was in the negative 20’s. This is weather that we normally reserve for January and 我是特种兵之火凤凰. If it’s THIS cold in 激烈的性高湖波多野结衣, let’s hope it’s some sort of fluke, instead of a possible trend, plunging toward more freezing temperatures.

More freezing than this.

I’m sorry I saw that movie… the one where everything froze… even the air.. even the flag blowing in the breeze. “The Day After Tomorrow“, it was called. It gave me something to imagine what’s going to happen if it gets too much colder!

These are days when you don’t mind starting your car 10 minutes in advance before you get in it, and you stay up late into the night adding flannel sheets to your next online Christmas order.
