The Heron House: More poems!
http://heronhouse.blogspot.com/2008/04/more-poems.html
Thursday, April 03, 2008. Totally like whatever, you know? In case you hadn't noticed,. It has somehow become uncool. To sound like you know what you're talking about? Or believe strongly in what you're saying? Invisible question marks and parenthetical (you know? Have been attaching themselves to the ends of our sentences? Even when those sentences aren't, like, questions? Declarative sentences - so-called. Because they used to, like, DECLARE things to be true. Have been infected by a totally hip. To sa...

The Heron House: January 2008
http://heronhouse.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 22, 2008. Back in the saddle. Went for a ride today, a little hill work. It must have been a couple degrees below freezing. I feel better having been out. Otherwise, things are going. Not much worth writing here, this is just a place holder- I'm not dead yet! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Back in the saddle. There's been a disturbance at the heron house.

The Heron House: FHL T-1
http://heronhouse.blogspot.com/2009/06/fhl-t-1.html
Monday, June 15, 2009. Cormorants on the Ferry dock piling. The Cottage at The Spring Street International School- home for the next five weeks. The Labs, from the ferry. I'm back at FHL after a twelve year absence. It's amazing to be back. I don't know the animals and plants here as we; as I do the one's I've been studying in Monterey, but they're what I grew up with, and somehow it does my heart good just to see them again.

The Heron House: June 2009
http://heronhouse.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 22, 2009. Ventral view of a parasitic isopod. The cressant on the left is the dwarf male. The speheres in the background are eggs prematurely released from the marsupium. Clione- a beautiful swimming pteropod mollusc. Tomorrow is the best low tide of the year, and we have a field trip. It also looks like the family is going to arrive from CA. I'm thrilled. It's been peaceful in their absence. But where's the fun in that? Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Monday, June 15, 2009. There's been a disturb...

The Heron House: June 2006
http://heronhouse.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 14, 2006. The commute was the most interesting part of the day. Oh, in uglier motorcycle commute news, I pulled over next to a guy who was stopped on the side of Highway 17 this morning with his shiny BMW R1100RS. Two of the four lugnuts holding his rear wheel on had gone walkabout. He said it felt like a flat. He only had 2 mile left till his exit, so he was going to crank 'em down and go slow. but Hwy 17? Not what we like to see. Saturday, June 10, 2006. Friday, June 09, 2006. The first...

The Heron House: Haiku
http://heronhouse.blogspot.com/2008/12/haiku.html
Thursday, December 18, 2008. As extra credit on the finals for Marine Science and AP Bio, I asked my students to write some haiku. Here are some favorites. Sometimes longer than his hair. And that makes me laugh. That is a really big word. Makes me feel smarter. The final I took. I never understood you. Someday, I hope to. Green leaves make the trees bright. Funny to think that green is. Peas made him Father of Genes. Better than a priest. My brain- overflowing with. Terms, details, and angst.

The Heron House: April 2008
http://heronhouse.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 04, 2008. Today I met with the head of the upper school where I've been subbing and tutoring. Apparently, he's been getting a lot of comments about me. I'm fairly used to this, but in this case he says the comments are brilliant. This part is new. He says they really want to keep me on for next year. He says they don't know if they'll have a position for me. He says he'll try to work something out. And that's just nice. Thursday, April 03, 2008. Totally like whatever, you know? Where are th...

The Heron House: May 2007
http://heronhouse.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 17, 2007. The whole point of a doomsday machine is lost if you keep it a secret. So, after having dropped my writing again, for, oh, let's call it 4 months, last week I heard from two of my favorite people (Hey Liz! Who were sending out their blog addresses. This reminded me of several things- 1) I have a blog, 2) A blog is a pretty useless way to keep in touch with folks if I 3) Don't update it and 4) Don't tell anyone it exists. Work has been a bunch of pippeting "nucleic acids" into tubes.

The Heron House
http://heronhouse.blogspot.com/2008/04/in-november-by-lisel-mueller-outside.html
Tuesday, April 01, 2008. Outside the house the wind is howling. And the trees are creaking horribly. This is an old story. With its old beginning,. As I lay me down to sleep. But when I wake up, sunlight. Has taken over the room. You have already made the coffee. And the radio brings us music. From a confident age. In the paper. Bad news is set in distant places. Whatever was bound to happen. In my story did not happen. But I know there are rules that cannot be broken. Perhaps a name was changed.

Monday, June 15, 2009. Now THAT'S a fouling community. The instructor GP shows us how to explore the tire organisms. The view from the dining hall. I went to see the Cowdonnells and try to identify mystery NorthWest berries (which turned out to not be the salal I expected.) and then home to have dinner with Dennis and read my text for tomorrow. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). By popular request. Kohanyi included for scal. There's been a disturbance at the heron house. View my complete profile.
