This is merely a hypothesis, a theory- please feel free to tell me if you think it is way off base or have alternative to share. The product of a long drive, too much caffeine, and yet another article about why women shouldn't serve active duty in the armed forces. A Navajo woman that I … Continue reading Merely a Theory…
Today's catharsis is bad poetry. Hey, it can't all be good, right? I'm more or less saving this here so that some day I come back and work on it. Because it needs it. But I needed to write it, so these things happen. Sigh. This is the Song of the Seasonal, in two versions. … Continue reading Terrible Poetry
Walking out of the theater this last weekend, dazed and in that gloriously sated feeling one gets when being barraged by beauty and decency for two hours in a dark room, I overheard a couple talking about the movie in the way we all do- post processing. They were talking about the credibility … Continue reading Wonder Woman
I turned down my dream job today. Two years ago- I would have murdered a child and sold my kidneys to drifters to work there. But today it doesn't work as well. A six hour (three each way) commute each week is not only unpleasant, but also environmentally ridiculous for someone working in EE. The Army blows. … Continue reading Crack
For all those out marching today- in hopes that we remember that all this inflammatory nonsense online and in the news is too simplistic- we are complex creatures with complex motives, but we are all in this together. Fight for rights, fight for equality, fight for love, and fight for each other. It might be … Continue reading Decrescendo
I legitimately forgot I had a blog for a little while there.Oopsydaisy...This will neither be my longest nor my most eloquent post- I am catching up on sleep and having a lazy, mindless day. It's glorious. So far, my weekends- those long awaited oasises of peace and rest- have been crazy busy and kind of … Continue reading Oops.

All heat is not equal.It’s a sunny, beautiful, crispy cold day today. As I stood in front of the wood stove with my eyes closed, I felt the sun on the back of my neck as the fire warmed my hands. I thought about the different kinds of heat.Sunlight is light and crisp and happy … Continue reading The Heat of Winter
Last night, the Yukon Quest, one of the toughest dogsled races in the world, ended less than a mile from my house. There were bright lights, hundreds of people, photographers flashing like an epileptic’s nightmare- and I missed it all. I was happily unconscious in my bed, tired, happy, and full of delicious food. I … Continue reading Down on Nugget Creek
Ugh. Blogger is annoying me.ALL I WANT IS FOR THE TITLE TO BE CENTERED. IS THIS SO HARD??Blergenderben.Greetings, oh wired world! I am working away in my (actually shared with my boss) little (actually huge) office in sunny (actually -40) Fairbanks.
