my journey, destination unknown
Next stop on goal of learning more about Atlanta was Westside Provisions District and Star Provisions. We first tried to eat breakfast at West Egg, but the wait was ano hour long, so we passed on it. Instead, we wandered through the shops and got to Star Provisions, which turned out to be a perfect…
Overcrowded, crazy. Some people avoid it altogether. I hate crowds too, but I always get a thrill out of seeing all the lights and the energy.

I just love San Francisco. There’s a picture on every block!
A few hours to kill in Manhattan. No new exhibits to see. What do you do? Shop. But shop Camille-style. Books, pens, comics.

Coming up this week: 10: National Cake Decorating Day and National Angel Food Cake Day 11: National Coming Out Day and International Day of the Girl and National Sausage Pizza Day 12: National Gumbo Day 13: National Yorkshire Pudding Day 14: National…
I had so much fun taking photos at my sister’s baby shower!
Another new experience for me. I’ve really been stepping out of my comfort zone lately and pushing myself to try all sorts of new things. The TEDx conference, a Python meetup, guitar lessons. And now glassblowing. I’ve driven by the studio in Decatur for years now, but I have never actually been in. When I…
When Camille and I planned our trip to NYC in June, our biggest reason for going was to see “Hadestown”! Camille was so thrilled to get to see the play in its short workshop run. And I was enthralled. Good choice. After we made plans to see “Hadestown”. we shopped around for other plays we…
Create, Project 45, and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. September’s main theme was Learning. Unfortunately, I was working…
It never fails. Driving down Rockbridge, turning left onto Spring. I’m home. I felt it the very first time I found my way to Pine Lake. And I felt it on Saturday, FIVE years after moving away (even though I only lived there for four years). It is my heart’s home. I love my Pine…

I do so love the beach….
As part of my “figuring out what comes next” project, I signed myself up to attend TEDxPeachtree. Easy to sign up, but when the time approached, I got more and more nervous. How was I going to make it through the whole day? What could I possibly have to say to strangers when we met?…
After visiting the Brooklyn Flea Market, Camille and I headed into Manhattan to have lunch at Katz’s Deli. As I am a vegetarian, I wasn’t expecting to eat very much; we were there for the experience. And what an experience! Crowded and confusing, with multiple lines for various foods and drinks. But Camille and I…
My mind is confused. So confused. Able to get outside after months of hibernating inside, I keep finding myself thinking things like “Wow, the vines have grown fast.” “Where are all the spring blossoms?” Yes, spring. I keep thinking it is spring. Because I can finally get outside. Because I feel awake again. Surely that…
The day has come. My eldest child is no longer a “child” but an adult. Of course, she’s still in high school and lives at home. We’re still looking at 4.5 years or more of supporting her, so she’s still a dependent. But she’s an adult. She can vote. She can get a tattoo. I’m…
I managed one celebration this week but did not manage to take a photo. Coming up this week: 26: Love Note Day and National Pancake Day and Shamu the Whale Day 27: National Chocolate Milk Day and World Tourism Day 28: Drink Beer Day and Strawberry Cream Pie Day and World Rabies Day 29: National…
I love taking photos of flowers. So beautiful and interesting!!
Taking Camille on tours of campus has me considering “What comes next?” For now, I am happy in my job, but I fear the day may come that my job may disappear or the demands will be ones that I don’t care to accept any more. Then what? What can I do? What would I…
