Happy Friday, says the Bean
It’s very possible that the reason I’m so tired is because this kiddo will not sit still. During the entire ultrasound this morning, shrimpo (who is not very shrimpo anymore!) was bouncing all over the place. Summersaults, leg flicks, arm flings, dolphin kicks. Baby was having the best time in there! Call it a personal…

Beating for two
About a month ago, two cops were on their way to serve a warrant to a man on an attempted murder charge. They were both shot. One, a 43-year-old husband and father, was killed. Thankfully, the other survived, but the community was heartbroken over the entire event. Many spent hours at the site of the…

Feather grass
My mom says those are feather grasses, or look like them anyway. I have no idea what they are. They don’t need a name. I ran my fingers over and through them without knowing anything about them and that was enough. They dotted one hillside on my Saturday morning hike. I’m trying to get out…

My happy places
Another beautiful weekend. Pool, hiking, dark beer, friends. I’m going to ride until the wind shifts, but lately the wind is at our backs, helping us forward. Last week, Pat got a job offer. No more social work, which for him is a weight off and for us a new future. In a few years,…

LA on my mind
I’m not sure when (I’m going to say the ’50s because when you say the ’50s it sounds nostalgic and magical) a crate of green parrots tipped over and escaped in my Grandma’s neighborhood. Now, I realize it probably wasn’t the ’50s – that’s a long long time for parrots to live, but seeing them…

Youth
I’m foggy again this morning. Damn medicine or mind. Maybe it’s me? Maybe whatever I’m trying to reach wants to stay hidden for now? On the train a child was screaming like the whole world was a playground. FUN FUN FUN FUN as he looked out the window, waving his crayons. I’m afraid of routines…

Pat Hike/Girls weekend
A few weeks ago, Pat and I went on a hike in the McDowell Mountain/Sonoran Mountain range. A beautiful 70 degree January day. ahhhhhhhh, the sun! The sun. Even in the desert, he and I are feeling a little pale. It was a good 4-5 mile hike into the range, up a saddle and down…
