Life on the skinny branches. Thursday, March 28, 2013. Do you hear what I hear? The interesting thing is that a couple of these conversations were with friends who are professional journalists and they are as knee jerk as everyone else. For me that's a sign of the times - journalism has evolved into expression of opinions rather than asking questions. What's been coming up for me on a macro level is how in this age of so many options for communication we seem to be mis-communicating more often than not.

Life on the skinny branches. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. NEW YEAR NEW MOON. So tonight did not go as planned. I was going to hang with some friends and eat some good food and probably laugh a lot. When I got in my car to leave it would not start. This is a new thing since I got in a car accident at the beginning of December and smashed the car up. It took three weeks to fix it and when I got it back it looked like new, but now it sometimes doesn't start. Clearly something got messed up in the smashing.

Life on the skinny branches. Thursday, August 28, 2014. There are so many things I want to talk about but what keeps coming up for me today is the little girl in Arizona who accidentally shot and killed the gun instructor with an Uzi. Automatic weapons are not guns as I know and understand them. They are not for hunting. They are not for competing at skeet or target shooting. They are for tearing up human bodies when fighting a war. That the man who died put himself in harm's way? I wonder if she will ev...

quirkychick.com: Olympics! Let's drink!!
http://quirkychick.blogspot.com/2014/02/olympics-lets-drink.html
Life on the skinny branches. Friday, February 07, 2014. The Olympics has always been one of my favorite events. When I was a little kid I would watch sitting on my grandfather's lap holding the coins he got when he attended the Olympics in Los Angeles in 1932. We went back together in 1984 to watch the end of the marathon. It was like having your bubby sitting there, "He over rotated and made a splash with his feet, oh that'll cost him." I know it's their job to point out what the ideal is but it's g...

quirkychick.com: The Divisive Connection to God
http://quirkychick.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-divisive-connection-to-god.html
Life on the skinny branches. Monday, January 06, 2014. The Divisive Connection to God. I started reading A Course in Miracles. Again as I do every new year. It's an interesting book, much touted by Marianne Williamson, whom I adore. She and Anne Lamott are so totally invited to that imaginary dinner party where you can invite anyone you want, dead or alive. Jesus' mother Mary will also be invited. We will drink wine and eat bread with lots of butter and chocolate and there will be a lot of laughing.

Life on the skinny branches. Wednesday, January 16, 2013. I've been reading a lot about Lance Armstrong and his upcoming conversation with Oprah. Also out there are interviews with his friends and co-workers who've taken a fall because they tried to tell the truth about what was going on. And then there are the blog posts and tweets from people who so very angry at Lance for not being the white knight he was portrayed to be. They feel like they've been lied to. He's had to live this lie for YEARS! Perhap...

Life on the skinny branches. Saturday, April 21, 2012. It's spring and that means it's time to get Pete, my big black pussycat, shaved for the summer. He's a rescue and of indeterminate breed, but he's got a ton of hair and despite best attempts to groom him every day - oh the drama when he spies the Furminator - beginning each April there is a frosting of black hair all over my house. That which doesn't shed off him stays behind to make lots of mats. Yesterday he went in to The Best Little Cat House.

Life on the skinny branches. Saturday, July 21, 2012. Guns don't kill people - people kill people. We hear it all the time. This is true, but when someone takes a gun and kills one of your people, it's difficult not to go to that place of being very angry about the easy availability of guns in this country. People walking around with loaded guns would only equal more gun deaths. The armed neighborhood watch of George Zimmerman is a tragic illustration of my point. As a nation we have been through this so...

Life on the skinny branches. Wednesday, May 09, 2012. DARK SHADOWS - at least the special effects are improved. Back in 1968 I was a HUGE fan of Dark Shadows. I would come home from school and sneak over to the next door neighbor's house to watch it with Janice. She was a teenager and I was in second grade. Years later when I watched reruns on some random cable station I laughed at the clumsy production and overwrought acting - even for a soap opera it was way over the top. The issue was the story and th...
