Requiem: Twice Bitten, Thrice Shy
http://mowoz.blogspot.com/2012/08/twice-bitten-thrice-shy.html
Monday, August 13, 2012. Twice Bitten, Thrice Shy. Perhaps two years into my marriage, my then-wife and I attended her sister's wedding. Among the preparations was an introductory class in tango. I grew up in Crescent City, California. It's population in 1990 - when I moved there as a sophomore - was just over 3000. Since then, they've annexed the state prison for purposes of state funding allocations - a nifty accounting trick if ever I've seen one, and it's just over 7000. I was only in Monterey for a ...

Requiem: November 2012
http://mowoz.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 21, 2012. A window into my psyche. Tonight, I abandoned all pretexts of not drinking alcohol during the week - otherwise an effort against calorie consumption, not out of concern of alcohol abuse - and I went to my neighborhood wine bar. It is a short walk. Between then and now - as I write this - very little genuinely remarkable occurred. But for two things:. I still call them that, because "woman" seems so mature, so old. The reason for my post. Insight. She was angry, and disappoin...

Requiem: June 2013

Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Where I am. and where I'm going. This post would be better suited with the title, "Where I am, and where. Will be going somewhere like that which is beautifully described by my favorite web blog of a family sailing:. Sailing to San Francisco – Day 6. Sep 8th, 2011. Of course, we’ll be in San Francisco in a day and a half; we’d better relish all this time while we can. Total miles at noon: 568. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Requiem: Today....
http://mowoz.blogspot.com/2013/03/today.html
Saturday, March 23, 2013. Went much like every other day, recently. It ended as I told you [my BFF] in a message: with my daughter sleeping peacefully in my bed. In the interim, however. For some reason, I leafed through it. Perhaps because it was so unique. Within the first cover - it's hardbound - I found email after email between Shina and her then-lover Dan. Dan, the Second. Because I had stolen Shina from Dan, the First. And still I read them. Well, at least the first couple pages. I can remember th...

Requiem: An impossibly unexpected today
http://mowoz.blogspot.com/2012/08/an-impossibly-unexpected-today.html
Tuesday, August 28, 2012. An impossibly unexpected today. Somehow, today needed to be documented. I met someone. As it is for the moment - ever the optimist, mind you - the cylinders seem to fit the holes, and the boxes the squares. The puzzle's corners found. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Requiem: September 2007
http://mowoz.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2007. So, I was reading this silly discussion thread at www.fark.com. Entitled " What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you in front of someone you had a crush on? And I laughed at myself, because I remembered something I did when I was younger but certainly not smarter. We made a rose from rolled-up and folded-up toilet paper and even added some perfume to make it smell nice. Links to this post. Thursday, September 6, 2007. This evening, I was putting away...

Requiem: Forgetting. Living. And Fourogh Farrokhzad
http://mowoz.blogspot.com/2013/01/alas-another-night-its-first-intention.html
Saturday, January 19, 2013. Forgetting. Living. And Fourogh Farrokhzad. Alas, another night in which it was my first intention to forget. Everything else - and anyone else - a bonus. I sat alone at the bar. I was not uncomfortable; this is my place, though it may be ridiculed by those that know me. It permits me a quick exit (on at least most occasions): I'm just. My BFF (female) left the night - at my encouraging. At that time, I had deluded myself into thinking that whatever I'd become would be good en...

Paul Bako: Godless Heathen - Walkoff Walk
http://www.walkoffwalk.com/2009/07/paul-bako-godless-heathen.html
In which Rob Iracane and Kris Liakos discuss the present state of baseball and the human condition. Paul Bako: Godless Heathen. July 12, 2009 2:30 PM. When I composed my irrational plea for shrimp yesterday, I didn't really think there was a chance. 2.23%? No shot, even that low percentage chance was too high. When the lowly Pirates raced out to a 3 and later 5 run lead, I had given up hope. To the bar content but not quite delirious, all too keenly aware of how close they came. Other Stuff Happened Too.
