Outer Life: Bad Connection
http://www.outerlife.com/2005/06/bad_connection.html
Laquo; N.B. The Invisible Man ». Friday's flight is always full. And he's always there. The business man. It's late in the day, late in the week, they're all resting but he's still working. They're decompressing while he's compressing, his head and shoulders hunched down to his laptop tap tap tapping away while his fold-down table bounces up and down in time as his legs lift up to keep a thick report wedged open under the table. He's barking the whole way. He keeps hitting a key on the phone without ...

Outer Life: Aruba
http://www.outerlife.com/2012/06/aruba.html
Laquo; Serendipitous Reading. Dying Alone ». In college he was known as Aruba. Freshman year, he was always telling us he was off to Aruba or just back from Aruba, so if you were describing him to someone, you’d say you know, that guy who’s always in Aruba and they would know exactly who you meant. Eventually you’d just say Aruba’s coming to dinner or I saw Aruba in the Quad. Could he possibly be such an infallible superhero? Could others truly be responsible for all his problems? He did have an unpleasa...

Outer Life: Karma

0160; Karma is a bitch. 0160; E.g.,. 0160; Snow Day at Shady Glen!

What to do? Only one thing. I abandoned my post and ran after her. 0160; That got her attention. And others’ as well. Faces tu...And continued wal...

Outer Life: Superpowers
http://www.outerlife.com/2012/06/superpowers.html
Laquo; The History of Today. 0160; Sitting in another comic book movie with my 11-year-old son, my thoughts turn to my own superpowers. 0160; Yes, I have superpowers. At least three. 0160; I am not yet comic book-eligible as I do not own a lycra body suit (yet), nor do I have a logo or a catchy nom de plume. 0160; I cant even call myself a superhero, as that implies using one’s power for heroic purposes, and my powers, such as they are, are hardly suited for heroics. I had a friend who cou...

Laquo; Empty Middle Seat. The History of Today ». The Headache, Part 1. 0160; Summer 2009. A double bat mitzvah. Two sisters. We know their parents well, so we’re there in the temple for the full ceremony. Can’t just waltz in later for the reception. No sir, we’re sitting through the entire ceremony. In Hebrew. Must be a conservative congregation. 0160; I hope they see us here. 0160; And then everyone stands, so I stand too, and my head explodes. Not literally, but that’s how it...0160; ...

Laquo; The Headache, Part 1. The History of Today. 0160; Never start a story before you know how it ends. 0160; In January I posted The Headache, Part 1. And my predictably wacky experience in the medical marijuana world. 0160; The story, as I planned it, would end with my migraines reduced in severity and frequency and my life back to normal, though migraines would continue to lurk. 0160; Instead, I find my thoughts returning to the history of today.

Outer Life: Too True

Laquo; Dying Alone. Tattoo You ». 0160; In the online dating world, you are your picture and your profile. 0160; So as I prepare to dip a toe into that world, I’m thinking a lot about which pictures to post and what to say in my profile. See, e.g. This blog). My problem is different:. 0160; I am too honest. 0160; The problem for me is I seem to be incapable of writing about myself in anything other than a warts-and-all style (.

http://opinionatedhomeschooler.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 24, 2005. On Christmas Eve, the old custom is to clean the house thoroughly, make sure all borrowed items are returned, ensure no dust remains "on rock or wheel," conceal all unfinished work from sight, and begin no task that cannot be finished by nightfall.

The Opinionated Homeschooler: November 2005
http://opinionatedhomeschooler.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Has an interesting post on those most ancient of educational issues, the Soccer Mom and the Cult of Athletics. My oldest daughter is in seventh grade and is playing basketball. Last night she brought home this letter:. A list of agenda items for the pursuance of being worthy of this tradition follows. So is this a reason for homeschooled kids not to be permitted to compete? Posted by The Opinionated Homeschooler at 5:21 AM. Links to this post. Tuesday, November 22, 2005.
