I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    More Loss in the Chicago Scene

    Three well-respected Chicago indie-rock musicians were killed this weekend while they were, apparently on their way to lunch during their day-jobs. I used to go to school with one of the victims' bandmates, so this made me really sad, as I know all three guys are not just brilliant musicians/minds, but hardowrking people with familes and many, many friends around the world. Please say a little prayer for them and for our city - as big as it is, its surprising how small the circles we travel in really are once we look around us.

    Its is interesting to note that the people who knew one of the vicitms well have stated on his band's message board that he might actually find the circumstances of his own death hilarious.  Apparently if you google the name of the young woman who caused the accident in her cheesy sportscar, you'll find her modelling portfolio, fake boobs and all.

    Arty intellectual obliterated by blonde bimbo in red racecar.

    Yeah, I can see the irony there...and I do hope that his family and friends are able to celebrate his life tomorrow at a memorial in his honor.

    That's awful. As well as unfair.

    Just another reminder of how "ya just never know". Maybe miss blonde boobed bimbo will turn herself around.
