Thoughts from what's left of my brain. The little red dot on my telephone indicated a message was waiting. I’d put my phone on silence during a meeting, and the breaks were so busy that I didn’t even check. I rarely get calls, so sometimes I forget to monitor the phone. If you ever leave me a message, don’t count on me getting it right away. Email is a much swifter way to reach me. I dialed in to the voicemail and there was Buddy-roo. 8216;s signature greeting, “. As for the parents involved, they are bo...

Rockin’ Together | Maternal Dementia
http://maternal-dementia.com/2015/05/28/rockin-together
Thoughts from what's left of my brain. I used to pay attention to new artists and new music. In a previous life I went to a lot of clubs and concerts, and learned about bands before they were big names. My college roommate – we both started out working in rock’n’roll radio – is still friends with musicians that most people only. When I have time. When I have time. Being the operative phrase. Still, my music playlists are seriously outdated. A song, she has to get my permission (and my iTunes code) becaus...

Thoughts from what's left of my brain. M almost too busy to grieve. I say almost, because when you? Re busy, you still grieve, it? S just pushed underground. If you don? T make time and space for the grief, it takes its own, and never at a good time or with enough space to permit you to delve in. Grief doesn? T fit itself neatly into the daily juggle of life and kids and work and an airplane to catch. Grief commands you to stop and pay attention. If you don? T, or you can? T what it used to be. Until it ...

Thoughts from what's left of my brain. My de-facto husband would be a good husband. He is, effectively, just. A husband. Except we’re not married. It? S not because we? Re opposed to it; we just haven’t gotten around to it. When people ask me why we? Re not married, I should say it? S none of their business. But I? M usually too polite, so I tell them we? Re just waiting for the kids to get old enough to pay for our wedding reception. She adds and subtracts names at will. To the theme of. I knew her firs...

Thoughts from what's left of my brain. As we walked home from school, just the two of us, Buddy-roo. Reached out and took my hand. Is there any kind of smoking that isn? T bad for you? D just passed a lyc? Where a pack of high-school students huddled together outside the entrance. Nearly every one of them held a cigarette. The guys went for the pinched between the fingers. Ve made it a point to point out to Short-pants. And Buddy-roo how not only is smoking bad for your health, but it looks really. I gul...

Lambretta LD150 rebuild: May 2011
http://my-ld150.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 31 May 2011. I had intended to collect the engine last Thursday but June wasn't well enough to go to the Hospice so I had to abandon the trip. This week June was feeling up to the Hospice and so that enabled me to call Patrick and arrange collection of my engine. As luck would have it, Tim (eldest son) was staying overnight prior to riding his Vespa to Italy. 2 Vespas 2 Italy. For not getting up. Saying he had pulled a tendon. There's just so much casting on view and the surface is so dull.

Thoughts from what's left of my brain. I picked her up at her friend’s house – as usual she resisted the departure – and we walked toward the metro to make our way home, Buddy-roo. Swinging her bag of tiny plastic Pet-shop. 8220;Do you know what tomorrow is? 8221; she asked. I knew where this was going, but I didn’t answer. 8220;It’s Mother’s Day! 8220;Did you know it was Mother’s Day? 8221; she asked. I didn’t want to answer this question, either. 8221; she said. “Why didn’t you tell us? Part of me want...

Nice on Vespas: Better Man because of it? (Lorne)
http://niceonvespas.blogspot.com/2012/09/better-man-because-of-it-lorne.html
Lets ride our Vespas from England to the South of France - that will be nice :-). Saturday, 15 September 2012. Better Man because of it? I collected my scooter from Tims and made the short journey home in the pouring rain to end the trip. I would have worried about the rain previously but now that Ive driven to Nice, I'm a scooter explorer. I feel that the journey has made me a much more confident rider. But has it made me anything else? Would I do it again? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
