I’ve always wanted to have open windows in December

Posted on December 15, 2015 by A Dreamer

I just didn’t think I would still be living in the DC suburbs when it happened.   It’s 1:47 AM on December 15th and it is 63º outside. Sure, every couple of years we have a little warm spell at the beginning … Continue reading →

I am angry and embarrassed.

Posted on December 8, 2015 by A Dreamer

Though I didn’t watch President Obama’s speech on Sunday night, I did take the time to read the transcript later in the evening.  While I didn’t really feel any need to be consoled or reassured, I was pleased to see … Continue reading →

On a lighter note

Posted on December 4, 2015 by A Dreamer

If you didn’t see The Wiz last night and weren’t able to TiVo it, it is available on NBC.com – and I highly recommend it. The production was just spectacular and it’s a great way to spend a couple hours … Continue reading →

I’m just at a loss.

Posted on December 3, 2015 by A Dreamer

So many terrible things have happened in the past year, and nothing has changed, and I just feel like nothing will. Gun control will not happen, even if San Bernardino is closed out as international terrorism.  Because we can’t deny “responsible, law-abiding gun owners” … Continue reading →

An Open Letter to the Littering Assholes…

Posted on April 19, 2015 by A Dreamer

On my way home this evening, I drove my car down the somewhat hilly road that is the last “main” road before my neighborhood.  It’s a two lane road in a rather sleepy suburban area – but well traveled enough that it … Continue reading →

Little Hunters…

Posted on February 17, 2015 by A Dreamer

If you are squeamish about cats doing what they do, or small woodland creatures inside suburban homes, go ahead and close the tab – I won’t mind. This was Carmen (or San Diego as she was known) when she was just a … Continue reading →

Happy Snow Day!

Posted on February 17, 2015 by A Dreamer

And Happy Fat Tuesday as well!  (I didn’t realize this until this morning when I started seeing Carnival pictures all over the place – I thought it was later this year.)  So, go have a pancake. We got around 5″ of snow, … Continue reading →

$500 Million

Posted on February 11, 2015 by A Dreamer

Yes, the Power Ball lottery has gotten ridiculously high again.  I can’t help but sit and think about how much fun it would be to have that kind of money and give it away. You could help so many people in … Continue reading →

Chapel Hill

Posted on February 11, 2015 by A Dreamer

My heart is just broken for the friends and family of Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha, and Razan Abu-Salha.  I hope they can find justice and peace. So much beautiful potential, just gone.

Right now we’re talking so much about KIDS vaccinations…

Posted on February 6, 2015 by A Dreamer

Which is good – and I am 120% on the “please for the love of god, VACCINATE YOUR CHILDREN” side of the argument. But, what about us (supposed) grown ups?  OK, let’s just put that at anyone over the age range … Continue reading →
