‘Salting the stairs. Al Gore giving a lecture. Zander, an old General Hospital character, was sitting in an aisle seat. The stairs were slippery but no one would do anything about it. A boy and I went to a locker within the classroom to get glue and other materials. He has decorated my locker in the hall as well. It’s […]
There was an old comedy skit called “Hey, Mon!” Can anyone name the show that was on? I’ve forgotten. Anyway, the joke is that each member of this family works all the time in multiple jobs. Then the daughter comes home wanting her folks to meet her new boyfriend and the first thing they ask is “How many job he […]
(I have such horrible dreams about people I love. ) Mike and I were at some kind of posh resort area. His father was very wealthy but they were estranged. His father sent a limo to pick up the family. I didn’t go – it was understood that I wasn’t invited. I walked down the length of the car as […]

I’ve been holed up in the Faux Overlook Hotel since yesterday. School was cancelled today but there’s no hope of the roads being safe enough to drive home tonight. It’s nice to have an extra day to catch […]
Minime turned 8 last week. 8! She wants to thank everyone for all the phone calls and cards. Of course, it makes her miss her family more, but all the same she is pleased to be remembered on her birthday. Thanks, Tito Frank, for the box of packing peanuts! Tito Frank sent her a coin sorter with wrappers. Minime has […]
[rate 5] This 7 minute short is on disc 2 of Disney’s The Little Mermaid and is nominated for an Oscar this year.

Instead of dialogue it’s set to Borodin’s String Quartet No. 2 in D Major: Third Movement: Notturno (Andante). I didn’t know the […]
