Book Club delinquents
discussed dates, dogs, food, but not
The Color Purple.

Birthday BBQ!

Scramble to make a sundress

for this fun soiree.

Wool, sleeveless, short dress
Perhaps not the best notion
for summer clothing.

Thirty first birthday
shares history with the death
of the Kind of Pop.

Notebook-sized menu;
epitomized gluttony:
Cheesecake Factory.

Exposed hardwood floors,
green paint hues. Home makeover:
a work in progress.

Sending thoughts and prayers
to families of victims
of Metro Red Line.

True kindred spirits

unaware of their hotness.

I pity da Foo!

Intermittently
our paths cross and we can see
life's parallel trends.

Catching up lost time
old friends stroll through Seattle:
A fag and his hag.

Statistically rare,
yet recent events raise fears.
Flying friendly skies.

Devoid recall of
the pain of sitting alone
locked inside the head.

Empty plastic bags
clogging laundry basin yields
flooded basement floor.

Holocaust hate crime
terrifies and interrupts
respectful honor.

Flash flood in Richmond,
lightning strikes TV tower,
hotel power surge.

Business casual
does not mean flip-flops! Shopping
for heels on work trips.

"Pruning A Rose Bush
For Dummies" is a book that
surely I would buy.

Assembling desks
from Ikea is easy.
A girl can do it!

We're not ready, yet
my body raises fears of
infertility.

Wet muddy pant legs,
umbrellas, rain boots, wet hair:
the spring '09 style.

Wake at five a.m.
to a vomiting husband.
Daylong E.R. stay.

Hard work paying off
as seven state teams convene
to brainstorm and plan.

I mourn for strangers
and their families. Tragic
fall from sky to sea.
