kumatage (reflections): In Quest of Ordinary
http://rum-blin.blogspot.com/2012/12/in-quest-of-ordinary.html
In Quest of Ordinary. October 2012; better living through chemistry. When you're a kid, all you want to do is fit in, be unremarkable, ordinary. Day of my young life was a bad hair day with my kind of hair. So I'm letting my straight, shiny hair grow back out, and I'll cut it short and curly for our next cruise. I'll go wash-and-wear, and just be my unfiltered self. (and save both money and water, too! Posted by Dan N Jaye. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Adventures of Sonador (Melissa). I'd like to ...

kumatage (reflections): Summary: 2012
http://rum-blin.blogspot.com/2013/01/summary-2012.html
Got this great list of questions from friend RoseAnn's blog. 1 What did you do in 2012 that you’d never done before? 2 Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I only made one resolution last year - to read at least one nonfiction book every month to keep my brain from turning to jello in retirement. (Mostly kept, I read 11 nonfiction books last year) No resolutions this year, but see the preceding post. 3 Did anyone close to you give birth? 8 What was your biggest ...

kumatage (reflections): June 2012
http://rum-blin.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
It's hot. It's sticky-icky humid Washington in summertime hot, and the aircon can't keep up. And I'm sitting here, dripping, and basically waiting for evening when it cools down. Waiting for the day to be over. What's wrong with that? To have an extra day before (whatever-it-was) was due. Or my friend whose husband has only a few more months to live, I'm sure she would gratefully take this day, sticky-icky temperature and all, and add it to his dwindling supply if she could. Or at least, on my attitude?

kumatage (reflections): Embracing Winter
http://rum-blin.blogspot.com/2012/09/embracing-winter.html
The one married to the guy who boasts that the only ice he's seen since 2008 is in his glass of rum? We decided to hang out in Annapolis this year for a couple of logical reasons. I wanted a long period with supertrainer Jen to get my back back into shape so I could, you know, walk. Normally. And we'd needed a few months to let the bank accounts rebound after the excess spending of the last glorious winter in St Augustine. I don't have a log cabin, or woods full of maple trees. And I know that winter...

The Age of Aquarius: Iron Girl 2012
http://theageofaquarius.blogspot.com/2011/10/iron-girl-2012.html
The Age of Aquarius. Sunday, October 30, 2011. I was working on putting my training schedule together on Thursday for Iron Girl this year and while I was doing that, the email notice of the earlier registration dropped in my inbox! SO excited to do this for the second time and I am incredibly motivated to shave some time off my transitions and run portion from last year. Last year I only started training 6 weeks before the race but still managed to finish with 30 minutes to spare and a medal in hand!

The Age of Aquarius: October 2008
http://theageofaquarius.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
The Age of Aquarius. Wednesday, October 29, 2008. Today I come across this item. Http:/ videogames.yahoo.com/feature/microsoft-offers-reward-for-missing-xbox-gamer/1260470. And all I could think was "damage control". We are a game cube/box/wii free zone here and for a simple reason. One look at the vacant stares of my kids when they played at friends houses and the resulting "attitude" was enough to ban it from our home permanently. I am sure there are many children who can pick it up and put it down.

A friend is an anti-death-penalty activist; her guy was executed today. It's complicated. Do not think you didn't make a difference. In the unchanged world, he lived, and he died, that is all. Because of you, he was loved before he died. That is everything. You cannot fight darkness with more darkness. You can only fight darkness with light. You cannot fight death with more death. You can only fight death with love. Posted by Dan N Jaye. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Adventures of Sonador (Melissa). It's b...

Playlist for Dan's birthday included: The Beatles' "When I'm 64" (of course! Thank you Daniel S. for the mp3 version) and Jimmy Buffett's "I'm Growing Older But Not Up." He rarely seems to want frivolous stuff, so its been cool to see that while we've been here, he's been pretty excited about pirate history (blog post coming! We've been to the pirate museum, gone on the pirate ship, and now, for his B-day, bought pirate costumes and signed up for (are you ready? Posted by Dan N Jaye. Maybe But maybe it&#...

kumatage (reflections): New Year's Un-Resolutions
http://rum-blin.blogspot.com/2013/01/new-years-un-resolutions.html
In my 20s, when the possibilities were infinite and future was wide an green and forever stretching before me, I had definite goals for my life; things like “Have a meaningful career,” “Find a forever lover,” “Raise a child,” “Live in a great place.” Some were achieved, some fell away. Big stuff I want in my life. No worries about money. Opportunities for engagement with people. Being able to go for long leisurely walks and maintaining my physical therapy exercise regimen. Being in touch with Nature.
