The Phantom of the Opera, which we saw with Matt and Debbie, was a Christmas present to me from Diane. Desire Under The Elms was my gift to her. I highly recommend this kind of delayed gratification gift giving. You have all the hub bub of Christmas but then you get to “open†your present […]
Jennifer We had the funeral for my aunt Beatrice . The funeral seemed to be exactly what a Catholic funeral ought to be. After the funeral, one sister, one daughter, and I returned to the house to resume the sorting-and-taking-stock task. Around dinner time, a girl appeared who had just learned of Beatrice’s death that […]
Friday, late afternoon, after work. “What do you want to do?†“I don’t know, what do you want to do?†I decided earlier that we weren’t going out to dinner. Fun, yes, intimate, yes, but we can’t afford our Friday night ritual. “I’m irritable. I woke up irritable, I took a nap and I’m still […]
Descent My father drummed darkness Through the underbrush Until lightning struck I take after him Clouds crowd the sky Around me as I run Downhill on a high– I am my motherÃs son Born long ago In the stormÃs eye Samuel Menashe I talked to my sister yesterday.

We clogged the Costco check out line today with three hundred dollars worth of essentials. In addition to the fifty-five gallon drum of olive oil, the too-heavy-to pickup box of soy milk, the left flank of Mt Washington turned into toilet paper and paper towels, we (okay, I) bought the new Michael Connelly book. Priced […]

To paraphrase Matthew: “The blog is one happy place to be these days. Chest pains, dead bodies, depressing poems, and more dead people. Can’t you ligthen up?” Does it get any cheerier than these photos taken at dinner last night? Though it looks like a comic book illustation viewed with 3-D glasses, be sure to […]
