Searching for X: April 2009
http://hollyschoenecker.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 26, 2009. Revenge may thump us (or our enemies) on the head, but karma chews away – usually for longer, and usually more annoyingly. Karma’s also the one more likely to lead us to change. Saturday, April 18, 2009. The show had artifacts, books, statues, period photographs (mostly of historical figures) in gilt frames. There were buttons and portable writing desks, Victorian jewelry, and a book with a title perfect for the day:. Sunday, April 12, 2009. Excerpt from a novel. There's been time...

Searching for X: July 2009

Sunday, July 26, 2009. No Guarantees but Love. Several people were interested in him, but most of them drew back when they learned his age: 9. “I want a dog that will live a long time.” “I want a dog that’s playful.”. Dogs come into rescue from three major areas: overloaded shelters, owner turn ins, and mill busts. Maybe we laud the release of dogs from the hell holes of mills, and understand how a shelter built to house 50 animals now faces housing 250, but how could an owner turn in a dog? At one time ...

Sunday, March 7, 2010. Nobody Ever Died of Teerminal Weirdness. This is an excerpt. I figured they were not the best ones to judge normal. You don't need to worry about impressing girls at your age," my mother said. "Just be yourself.". I can't afford a big date on a social security check, and with the help you give me, that's about when it's going to happen.". I didn't date at your age.". Are you still combing your hair once a year on Christmas Eve? He asked. "You could start there.".

Searching for X: Grundle's Icons
http://hollyschoenecker.blogspot.com/2009/12/grundles-icons.html
Sunday, December 27, 2009. It must be an empty stall – but in all the streets she had walked, she had seen no space empty of buyer and seller. Pushing the overcoat further into the corner of her arms behind the package of boots, she walked along the paving stones, looking at this unusual place. It was dim in the building, dim and smelling of spices: orris and clove, palm heart and sawgrass, with a nose-tickling smell she could not identify. 8220;Can you hold and compound time? 8220;Would you want to?

Searching for X: Trimming the Size of Dreams
http://hollyschoenecker.blogspot.com/2009/09/trimming-size-of-dreams.html
Saturday, September 19, 2009. Trimming the Size of Dreams. We moved the bookcase to another room, and said, “We’ll build another with adjusted dimensions next year.” Maybe we will; maybe we will be following another project’s lure. [Arts and Crafts style end table with a cabin underneath for the dogs.]. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Trimming the Size of Dreams.

Searching for X: A New Friend
http://hollyschoenecker.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-friend.html
Saturday, November 21, 2009. Inspector Grant, that human and humane Scotland Yard civil servant shares quite a few qualities with Dorothy Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey (Where my Whimsy leads me). He’s thoughtful, unorthodox, intelligent, and humane. He deduces and (like Maisie) he faces his own demons. These are not confined to England; the personality quirks and lack are also the ones that tear apart the United States in the 21st Century. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Searching for X: May 2009
http://hollyschoenecker.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2009. Last week it was Ernie, who decided to lie on the sofa, playing Dying. Clear eyes, pink gums, no wincing or complaining when I palpated his body. Ernie played Dying until that evening, when he begged vigorously for liversausage, and announced he was Happy to Be Living and Just Fine. If we and they could communicate in terms we fragile and dull humans could understand, how much anxiety and dismay might be saved us. If we thought like dogs, how much frustration we could save ourse...

Saturday, September 26, 2009. Never say never, as my mother would tell us. They’d keep the dogs from looking out. Dogs behave on the pack mentality: you bark, I bark, we all bark. You have a treat, I want it, and of course it’s mine. We can have three dogs barking, but their combined din sounds like thirty, reverberating off the uncarpeted floor (with all those little feet tracking in dirt, who needs carpeting). Saturday, September 19, 2009. Trimming the Size of Dreams. This dream turned out to need a de...
