Oddington Bear: August 2008
http://meredipity.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 28, 2008. Thing is, if I make it through another month of working for myself as a tutor/consultant/coach thing, I will have been at it for longer than I have stayed at anything else yet. It occurred to me a couple of months ago that it might be worth sticking with it just one more year, or even half-year, just to find out what it's like to be doing something for more than two years.

Oddington Bear: April 2009
http://meredipity.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 10, 2009. I'm just sitting here minding my own business when suddenly the whole house starts to heave. This is a considerable accomplishment on the part of the washing machine given that it's a four-family house. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Labels Being for Jars.

Oddington Bear: February 2008
http://meredipity.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 20, 2008. I wasn't even sure how to spell it, but tonight dawned (can night dawn? Then I went off to a writers group meeting, where I learned that we were to expect an eclipse tonight. When it started to happen, everyone scrambled for the couch to look out and up at it. I waited. Don't you care about the moon? They prodded. It's beautiful! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Labels Being for Jars.

Oddington Bear: March 2008
http://meredipity.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 30, 2008. I feel like there's lots to be optimistic about today, or maybe just plain happy. First of all, we got a free rotisserie chicken, compliments of the Sunrise Guide. We were planning to make yogurt today, a process I finally learned from Lily. On Friday I took the bus to work, in observance of Portland Green Streets. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Oddington Bear: September 2008
http://meredipity.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Lessons from a Certain Kind of Landlord. You've gotta hand it to our landlord. He is so consistent. He consistently consistently consistently disagrees with me about what constitutes necessary maintenance. Take, for example, the lock on the door to the front building, just inside of which our bikes are stored, and slightly farther inside of which, I might also add, three other tenants are stored. (Our apartment is accessed via a different door.). Thursday, September 11, 2008.

Oddington Bear: November 2008
http://meredipity.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 20, 2008. Old Dogs and New Tricks, Part Two. I haven't been writing because my stupid fingers don't like typing and/or writing all the time and they've taken to swelling up and sending little zaps of pain up into my shoulders. Nice. But oddly enough, they're not bothered by SEWING. Two new tricks in one post! Monday, November 17, 2008. Sunday, November 16, 2008. Friday, November 14, 2008. Thursday, November 13, 2008. I remembered today that when I used to spend hours building little ho...

Oddington Bear: December 2007
http://meredipity.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 26, 2007. I cannot wait for Christmas to be over. You're looking at the date of posting, perhaps, and thinking, but Mere, it was over when you wrote this. But it wasn't. We still have to do dinner tonight with Dad and girlfriend, and I treat gift-giving as a buy-as-you-must process, so I made the purchases a few hours ago and finished wrapping them a few minutes ago. Friday, December 21, 2007. How it Went with the Mouse, Part One. Wednesday, December 5, 2007. The current view from our...

Sunday, December 7, 2008. Part Three, and First Snow. I'm reading the most unexpectedly satisfying book. I think it's the first time I've read something that could be described as academic and heady that also left me with a palpable sense of optimism and, frankly, soulfulness. I don't even like to hear myself write things like that, but it's undeniable. It's Daniel Greenberg and Russell Ackoff's book about why schools and education aren't working.
