Madison - MPLS - Madison

2009-12-17T21:13:54Z

I don't know what it is but since I've owned a house (and therefore have shoveling responsibilities) these Wisconsin winters have been heavy on the snow. The roads were atrocious last week and getting out of Madison and on the road to Minneapolis ...

Rambling in Early Stages of a Crush

2009-11-17T18:41:58Z

Life is a funny thing; heartbreaking, bizarre, joyful and confusing and I don't think I'd rather be in anyone else's skin. When having a bad day, I like to think that perhaps before I was born I stood in line waiting for my own particular life, be...

2%, not just for milk anymore

2009-10-26T22:51:00Z

Is the glass half full or half empty? It depends on how thirsty you are. After a run, on a hot day without shade or upon awaking after a night of too many drinks, well that glass seems mighty empty. Can this be applied to the ancestral composition...

Things for which I may deserve a medal

Leaving Ikea without making one single purchase Having only one plate for lunch at the Indian buffet Leaving a drink half-full at a dance club and opting for water instead Not saying "that's what she said" when my 13-yr cousin said she'd "seen b...

Not yet

The world is small but apparently not small enough to put me in a room next to you. Will it be a train taking us both to work? Could it be a party to which we're both invited? Perhaps we're meant to converse on the corner of two Paris streets or o...

Dating rules? What dating rules?

2009-05-21T20:20:04Z

A bearded, bespectacled cutie came up and started talking to me at a local establishment on Friday night. We exchanged numbers. This is the aftermath. I don’t do modern courtship very well. I have an inability to follow rules and recognize whether...

Speeding Tickets and Beauty Routines

2009-05-10T01:29:15Z

This is why I'm hot. (Take that my formerly low self-esteem, only took me about 30 years to be rid of you) I was a passenger en route to Minneapolis when the police officer pulled out behind Mandy's car. We were driving through Eau Claire count...

Back when I was a whimsical 25 year old

2009-05-02T18:18:58Z

May Day 2003 I forgot it was May day and therefore did not arise early to wash my face in the morning dew (which is said to ensure a year of beauty). I was even awake at 4 a.m. thanks to a restless night. Ah, well. In these days of chem-lawn it'...
