  • The Unfortunate Concert by the Internet Cafe

    So, a few days ago I was typing in the Internet cafe, which is next to one of the concert venues. The cafe is in a pathway to the cigar bar, where that day a very soulful jazz musician was making his music. I was half listening. What I really noticed was he would be…

  • Wednesday Update

    Gary couldn’t take the thought of missing the zip line experience, so he sucked back a container of extra-strength Cepacol and we went. (That was six hours ago and he still can’t taste anything.) Unfortunately, I have taken to signing my comments on the message board “Ellen and the Codger,” so a number of times…

  • Vacation Moment

    Usually, it takes a little time to get to the vacation realization moment, the moment usually right before the end when you say “Ahh…this moment sums it all up.” That was last night. Last night was “green dress formal night,” and people got good and creative with the definitions of “green,” “dress,” “and “formal.” “Green”…

  • Cruise update!

  • Scattered

  • The Lunch Table Turns

    The Queen Mother found herself sandwiched by doctor’s appointments today. The lung doctor at 1:30, GP at 10 and no food for 12 hours beforehand. So at lunch she was hungry enough to take the step of dining out in public. Mom’s dined out in public before of course, but not since her arms went…

  • Let Us Arise and Go Now, and Go to Miami

    I am back from Atlanta and as promised, I did spend the plane flight preparing for the next trip: the one to Miami to catch the cruise. I made a list of things to bring, and more important, a list of things to leave behind. Gary didn’t make this second list. That is why he…

  • Spunky Labia, World Traveler

    I foolishly said to Hot Mom (aka Friend #32) that I had had a very busy weekend, then Tuesday I’m going to [see my luvvah Anderson Cooper in] Atlanta, then I [whine] had to fly out to Miami and go on the Barenaked Ladies Ships-n-Dip Cruise, [sigh], and I just didn’t know how I was…

    Yet Another Very Special Guest Post

    Greetings, I am . Call me Sitaar. I live here in Saint Louis now with fellow guitars Uncle and Blondie. I came from a Muslim household in the West where I have lived since I came from the factory. I stayed there until the lovely Arzaana-Fay decided she had no musical talent. (“None. She’s awful,”…
