Sunday in CinCity

-


Another weekend in Big Fat Teaching Hospital amongst damaged and healing brains. There's also the patients to care for...ha! insert drum roll here, please. Two more days, and two more days after that, then a summer vacation. Glorious words...summer vacation. We won't be able to take the holiday that we planned. HoneyHaired's new job involves a Grand Opening of her store dab smack on the day we were set to leave. Our new plans now involve driving down to horse country and visiting with CollegeGrrrl. She has an apartment and sights she wants to show us and I'm sure we can find plenty of ways to spend time and money there. Until then, life goes on in Neurodramaville.

So, hope you all are enjoying your weekends. It looks lovely outside. Perfect June days here. Go on, bask in the warmth of the early summer sun. And as Mr. Dylan, the poet laureate of a generation, once said, "...My real message? Keep a good head and always carry a lightbulb." hhhhhmmmmmmmm...well, alrighty then. Thanks Bob.

    Yes, children do distract us from our goals; but hey, they're worth every minute, every cent we spend on them.

    I have a feeling that lots of Summer Plans all across the country will be a-changin' this year. You're not alone. That doesn't really help, I know, but...sigh.

    Ooooo, summer vacation. I am soooooo jealous. Doesn't matter where you go, you're gone.

    I been hangin' on threads,
    I been playin' it straight,
    Now, I've just got to cut loose
    Before it gets late.
    So I'm going,
    I'm going,
    I'm gone.

10 Things I Love That Start With the Letter E

Game imported from Sweet Annie at Blissful Bohemian . Name ten things you love that begin with a specific letter. In my case, the letter E. So here goes: 1. Well, first of all there's elephants . Who doesn't love those cute little faces?? And what's not to love? Elephants are actually a lot like humans. They laugh and cry. They grieve over their dead. They play games with each other and have fantastic memories so they can even remember the rules and not go to bed mad. 2. Then there's Engelbert Humperdinck, who I don't actually love and his singing's just on this side of okay, but I do love his name. 3. I luuuuuuv eggs , deviled. Nothing fancy, just classic. Best Basic Deviled Eggs 6 eggs, hard cooked and peeled 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon yellow mustard 3/4 teaspoon white wine vinegar pinch of salt (optional) fresh ground black pepper (optional) smoked paprika (optional) Cut eggs in half. Arrange egg whites cut side up on a serving plate and put the yolks

The Poet Goes to Indiana by Mary Oliver

I'll tell you a half-dozen things that happened to me in Indiana when I went that far west to teach. You tell me if it was worth it. I lived in the country with my dog— part of the bargain of coming. And there was a pond with fish from, I think, China. I felt them sometimes against my feet. Also, they crept out of the pond, along its edges, to eat the grass. I'm not lying. And I saw coyotes, two of them, at dawn, running over the seemingly unenclosed fields. And once a deer, but a buck, thick-necked, leaped into the road just-oh, I mean just, in front of my car— and we both made it home safe. And once the blacksmith came to care for the four horses, or the three horses that belonged to the owner of the house, and I bargained with him, if I could catch the fourth, he, too, would have hooves trimmed for the Indiana winter, and apples did it, and a rope over the neck did it, so I won something wonderful; and there was, one morning, an owl flying, oh pale angel, into the hay loft o

A Year with EB White

"You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."----- from Charlotte's Web I am a soul always drawn and fascinated by the idea of " A Year of...". A Year of Rumi. A Year of Calvin and Hobbes. A year cooking with Julia Child. A project that provides guidance for the year and a ruler we can measure inward growth in the course of our circle around the sun. One year, after an early marriage and an unsurprising--except to me--early divorce, I came across a book by Sue Hubbell titled A Country Year. I didn't plan for it to take a year to read, but it did. I only read it at night before I went t
