deep breath :: let it out
It feels weird and a bit nerve-wracking to be back home and not quite feeling “at home” just yet.  I’ve been running into some obstacles.  Thanks for indulging my scattered thoughts on this subject. I am extremely slow to get close to people.  There are members of my family that I’ve known my whole life who don’t know the first thing about me, not really.  I love...

An open fan letter to Scott Franzke and Larry...
Dear boys, I’m a 28-year-old baseball ladyfan who has never owned a TV.  I rely on you, Scott and Larry, to tell me about how my favorite team is faring.  I prefer your play-by-play and color commentary to any other team of announcers out there.  Dare I even admit that Scott, I like your play-by-play better than Harry’s?  I know, it’s blasphemy to many phans.  It’s how I...

thoughts on wedding planning
A clarification in this post before I even begin:  any perceived ambivalence towards ourwedding should in no way be mistaken for ambivalence towards our marriage.  I am so freaking thrilled that Ben and I reconnected and cultivated a caring, loving, and egalitarian partnership.  No caveats. So, that said: Ben and I are getting married at the end of February. For just about any other bride,...

I'm an aunt. Part two.
I mentioned four munchkins the other day.  Here’s another.  We’ll call her BB. She has the biggest eyes.  Look: She is of the age where she likes to put things into her mouth to figure out what they are: Pretty pretty: She’s going to be a big sister next year.  Congrats, BB!   I’m-going-to-miss-all-these-little-ones, Miss Minty p.s.  Just about every...

a very wordy post about a Southeast Asian-ish...
I graduated from James Madison University with a Bachelor of Arts in Geography.  My specialization was Cultural Studies, which sadly no longer exists (it’s only GIS and Environmental Studies these days).  I loved my major because I had the freedom to chart my own academic course to a great extent.  I had a minor in Political Science that I never finished, but it allowed me access to all the...
