Just another WordPress.com weblog. November 29, 2012. Last Saturday I started writing this post. It began like this:. 8220;Only a couple of weeks after his 12th birthday, Noah is dying of cancer.”. 2010, hanging out on the boat with my two favorite boys in the world at the time: My husband and my dog. We all loved that boat and being on the lake. By the end of the day on Sunday he had improved quite a bit. But it was Monday morning when we saw a drastic difference. He was alert, interactive, wagg...We we...

Waiting For a Train: East Coast Highlights, Part Two
http://waitingforatrain-linda.blogspot.com/2008/07/east-coast-highlights-part-two.html
Waiting For a Train. Wednesday, July 2, 2008. East Coast Highlights, Part Two. A brush with fame. I was headed to the subway with my rolling suitcase, bound for Brooklyn, but I wasn't quite sure where the station was. I saw a woman striding across the street who looked like a likely source of directions, and hailed her. "Where do I catch the 1,2 or 3? I said. She began asking me about my final destination and suggesting the best entrance on Broadway when it dawned on me: Cynthia Nixon. A pyrate-puppet ro...

Waiting For a Train: The Most Beautiful Chair Ever!
http://waitingforatrain-linda.blogspot.com/2008/07/most-beautiful-chair-ever.html
Waiting For a Train. Monday, July 7, 2008. The Most Beautiful Chair Ever! A few years ago I bought two Knoll chairs. On Craigslist from a guy who was moving to Thailand. I think it was like $75 for both. The orange one, which was sitting in the living room for a few years, started to get mighty dingy. I thought about having it reupholstered, and called Welsh Upholstery. I'm so glad I did. The fabric is called Eclat Weave. July 24, 2008 at 11:59 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Waiting For a Train: September 2007
http://waitingforatrain-linda.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Waiting For a Train. Sunday, September 23, 2007. I love living in San Francisco, one of the more densely populated. Neighborhoods in one of the more densely populated cities in the country. One of the best things about it is all of the random encounters I have with people. I've lived here a long time, so I have a lot. I thought I'd share the random encounters I've had in the last week or so. On the 33 Stanyan. On the K Line. I saw another resident from my former job in housing. She is a manicurist in...

Seeks Coffee and Grace: August 2011
http://seekscoffeeandgrace.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 22, 2011. Big, Huge, Over-stuffed Announcement! Well, it's about time I spill the beans. It's not like if we saw each other out and about that you could get away with "not noticing" the ridiculously huge, ever growing elephant in the room. And while we are on the subject of elephants, did you know they stay pregnant for 2 years? If animals get in to heaven, I think God will have some serious explaining to do. Trick your parents with? Was it just me? Yes, they will look identical and yes th...

Seeks Coffee and Grace: On this day...
http://seekscoffeeandgrace.blogspot.com/2010/07/on-this-day.html
Monday, July 26, 2010. On this day, 7 years ago, I got up early in a rundown hotel room on the far end of town. I found my BFF. Gluing pearls on to a long piece of tulle and my other best friends smiling all around. I stopped for a frappa-something because I'd not gotten much sleep and went to a fancy tanning salon to dry and zap the zits that had developed in the previous hot and sticky days. I was rushed, as I always am - even today - but still, excited. Happy 7th Nick - there is no itching here! Life ...

Seeks Coffee and Grace: Appreciating the tulips today...
http://seekscoffeeandgrace.blogspot.com/2010/09/appreciating-tulips-today.html
Monday, September 27, 2010. Appreciating the tulips today. By Emily Perl Kingsley. I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, "Welcome to Holland.". I signed up for Italy!

Seeks Coffee and Grace: December 2010
http://seekscoffeeandgrace.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 23, 2010. I try to keep it all in perspective. Things could be harder, different, more exhausting. Lots of kids come in and out of the therapy doors each day. I try and make friends with the moms, nannies, grandmas, dads, hoping we can connect on some level to make the loneliness feel like less. I am very aware of how Ella looks compared to the other kids - so cute and looking so normal to them. And so I get ousted, instantly, because they think “That family is here to work on the.
