What inspires the inscription of a life? This is something I was thinking about today as I stood at the Belvedere, one of my favorite thinking spots. This blog has remained silent for over a month now, not because my life hasn’t been worth inscribing and recording, but because my life is unfolding in a [...]

walking around downtown

This morning I felt like taking a little walk. I headed north, toward the river, and made my way to the Belvedere. I stood at the railing and stared at the water for a long time, thinking very happy (but unbloggable) thoughts. I watched traffic traverse the Second Street Bridge just a [...]

Right now I am sitting in my favorite window seat at my favorite coffeeplace, watching people out the window. I love Bardstown Road, especially this part of it, close to the intersection of Eastern Parkway. There is such an interesting cross section of Louisville life to be seen here. So far I [...]

Today I did one of my favorite Sunday afternoon things to do. I went to my favorite local coffee shop, bought a beverage (pomegranate iced tea), sat outside, read my book, wrote in my journal, stared off into space, thought some thoughts, and watched cars traverse the vast expanse of Bardstown Road. As [...]

I had dinner with my friend P. the other night, and I saw this car in the parking lot. I don’t know about you, but I think that the juxtaposition of “BLING BLING BIATCH” on the rear windshield and the Catholic radio station sticker above the license plate is a classy touch.
apartment hunting and crushing disappointment

I am starting to do a little apartment hunting. I haven’t given notice on my current place yet, and I’m not in any particular hurry, so I’m just casually watching craigslist for anything interesting, just to get an idea of what’s out there. I want to find a place either in Old Louisville (where I [...]
bunnies!

The community where my grandmother lives is colonized by bunnies. There are rumblings and rumors that the maintainers of the community are going to Do Something about the bunnies, whether it be allegedly humane trapping and releasing or some other unmentionable alternative that no one will say aloud. These rumblings have been going [...]
a curious and humorous sign at the airport

I’m currently in southern California to attend the ALA annual conference, and I’ve had irregular internet access, which has hampered my ability to blog. Sad! So I have a bit of a backlog of things to blog about.
Here’s something I saw while going through security at the Louisville International Airport. I [...]
