Judge me if you will, but… Snakes On A Plane….BEST….MOVIE….EVER. Seriously. You’ve got a plane. You’ve got snakes. You’ve got contraband vodka and Red Bulls. What more could I ask for.

Flying back from Chicago we experienced the worst turbulence that I’ve ever been in. At one point as the plane dropped what seemed to be two thousand feet, I screamed and grabbed Andy’s arm on my left and the random stranger’s arm on my right. As the plane rolled, jerked and plummeted, I whimpered, clutched [...]

Spending the week with family was nice. We’re back in Denver. We’ll be at Cherry Creek State Park until Thursday. I feel like I should write more than that, but I just don’t have it in me right now.

I’m slumped on the couch listening to Big Audio Dynamite on XM. It’s been a day of phone calls to family and friends, going through papers and coming to terms with the strangeness of it all.

I’m back at my couch post. My mom, who is constantly hot, and can’t believe that I’m fine, is upstairs with her window air conditioning blasting. She ran necessary errands today. I feel like when I’m “off duty” that I probably should be helping my mom clean up and organize the house. The thing is, [...]

My mom has cat shampoo in her shower. They haven’t owned a cat for at least fifteen years. I already knew the answer, but I had to ask anyway. When I did, she said, “Well, cats are so fluffy and shiny, I just thought….”. Bob said he went to heaven again. When we asked him [...]

It’s four in the morning. I just went back to (couch) bed. Bob woke up an hour ago and needed some ice chips. Nothing harshes a mellow like waking up from R.E.M sleep to blend ice cubes in a high power blender in the garage at three am. I’m sleeping on the couch next to [...]
