All signs point to no. I’ll hear your voice everywhere. April 2, 2013. I wanted to say some things about my dad before I semi-retire this blog. It’s semi because maybe I’ll want to come back some day. In the meantime, I am thinking about blogging someplace new about adventures in lifestyle change. It would be more exciting than it sounds. I hope. Now we use them every day. I remember riding the haunted house ride and it stopped for some mechanical difficulty while our car was tilted backwards. Ah...My fa...

what? the curtains?: daredevil
http://momscurtains.blogspot.com/2007/11/daredevil.html
Monday, November 19, 2007. Apparently I had an internal alarm clock as a kid that only worked on Saturday mornings as an alert for punctual cartoon watching. My mother tells me it took a herculean effort to get me out of bed on school days, complete with bacon bribery, so it mystified her that I could wake up like a shot at 7 am on the only day she could sleep in. To watch men in capes and tights run around saving people. My favorite show (that I remember) was Spiderman and His Amazing Friends. And it's ...

what? the curtains?: desire
http://momscurtains.blogspot.com/2007/11/desire.html
Wednesday, November 07, 2007. Look closely enough and you can see the metaphor in anything. For me, cosmology conjures strings between what is out there and what is within us. These infinite and tiny facing mirrors that make me wonder if who we are is just an echo of what has always been. And as I was watching 'The Universe' recently it linked in my mind to this book I read called. The Truth about What Buddha Taught. The book is about the nature of. The problem is not desire. In its totality: gratifying ...

what? the curtains?: i wish i had two more wishes
http://momscurtains.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-wish-i-had-two-more-wishes.html
Tuesday, December 04, 2007. I wish i had two more wishes. Last week Scientific American. Wrote this article about how to raise smart kids. The key, apparently, is not emphasizing intelligence and talent. It’s teaching them that being smart is about effort and the evolution of your mind over time. The difference between kids who get the former vs. the latter message is stark:. Their conclusions remind me of a book I read a bit back called The Drama of the Gifted Child. The evening after I read the article...

http://magicjewball.com/2013/04/08/change-is-gonna-do-me-good
All signs point to no. Change is gonna do me good. April 8, 2013. As a follow-up to the “semi-retiring this blog, starting a new one” part of the last post, this is the official moving announcement. Like that. I am both thrilled and terrified. The new blog is where I’ll talk about all of that. Faithful readers will have seen many hints of this project, from the very beginning where I returned to Baltimore, to more recent talk of longing for change and light. So I hope to see you over there! Just your ave...

All signs point to no. Sunlight on the lino. April 23, 2012. Here is my new strategy: stop avoiding the blog because I’m never inspired to write the posts I have on my agenda (and add to that my Blogoversary… I missed that, too) and just write posts as I’m inspired. You know, like I used to. In that spirit…. I’ve talked a lot in the past about the notion of home. And even given a tour of places I have lived in two different. Have you discovered the 1940 census. What the census inspired me to do, because ...

From the Mind of Helen Skor . . .: Money Well Spent
http://helenskor.blogspot.com/2008/02/money-well-spent.html
From the Mind of Helen Skor . . . Because every girl has an alter ego. Friday, February 29, 2008. Please forgive me for the shameless product endorsement you are about to read. I know it's not exactly the most sound financial move in the world, but I am one of those people who claims zero deductions on my federal withholding so that I can be guaranteed a nice, fat tax return every year. I like to think of it as my government-sponsored savings account. My new vacuum sucks. I mean it REALLY sucks. It doesn...

All signs point to no. May 10, 2010. What happens when it’s late at night, I’m in a melancholy mood thinking about the past, and I have final projects due for school? That’s right, I start looking for The White Whale, one of the best and coolest friends I ever had who has a common name and seemingly no Internet presence at all, and who has vanished off the face of the earth. It’s 4am but Captain Ahab, I think I found her. A missive has been sent. How will I ever fall asleep now? Ments for this post.
