Not writing for a few days that turns into a week that becomes over three weeks leaves lots of things to tell, which makes it hard to know where to begin, and what to leave out. Emelia is crawling, is pulling herself up, eats solid food, screeches far too much, and has two bottom teeth [...]

Announcing a New Blog
Posted in Kathy on November 29, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
People who know Kathy and me know that Kathy is the quiet one (not that I’m necessarily loud). She won’t answer the phone if she can help it, and my family doesn’t always feel like they know what she’s thinking. Well no longer! Today Kathy officially joins the ranks of the blogosphere, so now everyone [...]
When are we going back?

In a time before we knew of RateBeer and before there was mapquest, there was Coop’s, a set of maps that purported to include the addresses of all the breweries in a particular region. And when we embarked on a two-week Northern California brewery tour in the Fall of 2000, there certainly were more than [...]

If it rained every day, Languorous weather all the time,Our love would be as sunshine,Voluminous strands of lightEncircling us in the gloom. You work wonders on me,Offering a fresh springUndiluted by the rainwater.
In Praise of Culinary Genius

I can cook, and when I do, I do a decent job of it. Still, cooking isn’t something I have a particular passion for. Kathy, however, likes to cook, so she’s the one who usually does it (leaving me to handle clean up). She’ll occasionally trot out a new recipe after we’ve had it when [...]

Kathy starts crying. I go over to her, and she starts to explain, to apologize for crying yet again over the same thing. I let her rest her head on my shoulder, I grab a tissue and dab her cheeks. And I listen. After a little while I begin smiling, and soon enough I’m beaming. [...]
It’s All in How You Ask

Kathy walks upstairs and heads for the futon where she’s reading her book. As she takes her position there I smile at her, and she asks, “What?”“Just looking at you, admiring your cleavage.” The angle from the desk looking downward at her lying on her stomach and propped on her elbows provides a lovely view.She [...]
Thoughts on Flight #1 out of Dulles

You know I’m not generally afraid on planes, even of dying. But last night, during some fairly mild turbulence, suddenly I was terrified. Not over the possible consequences to me, but over the possibility that I wouldn’t ever see you again — you not being there at the end, and me not having the opportunity [...]

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo
Posted in Kathy, Life on May 5, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo isn’t really a holiday. In the U.S., it’s treated as an excuse to drink. I’ve never been one to need an excuse to drink, but tonight I succumb to the norm, at least tangentially. You won’t find me at a Mexican place sucking down Negra Modelos (and certainly not Coronas), [...]
