Slyeyes' Ramblings: April 2009

http://slyeyesramblings.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 28, 2009. HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY, BEN! Sunday was Ben's birthday. I didn't forget it; I spent the weekend in the garden where there is no wi-fi. A year and one week ago, Ben became my son-in-law. And it was a good thing. I did send him a gift in a timely fashion, but when I visit in May, I might give him a new pair of sunglasses. HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR BIRTHDAY, BEN! And I hope Red Lobster was worth the trip). Links to this post. Monday, April 20, 2009. Links to this post. For the first t...

Rambling Thoughts: August 2008

http://ceedubbva.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Saturday, August 23, 2008. Start with the Ending. I've been thinking lately about the lyrics in a David Wilcox song:. The secret of a happy marriage,. Maybe you should write this down. If you want to keep a love together,. The best way is to end it now. Because when you both know its over,. Suddenly the truth comes out. You can talk about your secret passion,. You can talk about your restless doubt. When there's no pretending,. Then the truth is safe to say,. Start with the ending,. Get it out of the way.

Rambling Thoughts: Pissed

http://ceedubbva.blogspot.com/2009/08/pissed.html

Saturday, January 23, 2010. Written in August 2009). Two months reading a book and I hated the ending. I have never devoted two months to a single book, and I thought I'd get some kind of reward at the end. I'm a capital-R Reader! Surely I deserved some kind of closure after reading 981 pages of story and another 100 in end notes! Over a thousand pages of time-skipping, acronym-laden, deliberately ambiguous writing about tennis and addiction and depression and Quebec separatism and film theory. Higgy's M...

Rambling Thoughts: January 2009

http://ceedubbva.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 31, 2009. Over the past two and a half weeks, I've spent days (literally) with the photographic memories of my trip. I've downloaded all of them to my computer, deleted duplicates, deleted blurry or boring or tilted shots, and classified them into categories from A to Z: airports, birds, camps and Chobe, downtown Cape Town to Twyfelfontein, warthogs, wildebeest, zebras, and Zambia. The whole exercise has been a great way to relive the trip. I miss the daily variety, the sights and t...

Rambling Thoughts: Avon Walk for Breast Cancer

http://ceedubbva.blogspot.com/2009/10/avon-walk-for-breast-cancer.html

Monday, November 9, 2009. Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. 5 months of training. 2275 raised with the help of my family and friends. 3 pairs of running shoes for training. 10-13 pounds lost since last fall. 1 clean baseline mammogram (and the ability to say "mammogram" without blushing). And a few stats from the walk itself:. 35 miles walked (including a 1/2 mile detour when we followed a crowd that missed a turn sign). 4 threatened blisters (3 headed off by moleskin). 145 hours of walking.

Rambling Thoughts

http://ceedubbva.blogspot.com/2009/10/cross-post-from-my-avon-walk-for-breast.html

Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Cross-post from my Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. I’ve committed to participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Charlotte, NC at the end of October. It’s a big commitment - a marathon and a half of walking in two days and a minimum donation commitment of $1800 - but it is a worthy cause. I'm doing this for love. Love for my friend who underwent a double mastectomy and has become a valuable mentor for other people going through the experience. How You Can Help. Ask me abou...

Rambling Thoughts: July 2009

http://ceedubbva.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 30, 2009. I've come to the realization that I like green smells:. Pink, purple, other colored smells aren't nearly as appealing. Links to this post. Thursday, July 23, 2009. Why I Don't Write. I've been feeling a little guilty about neglecting my blog for the past few months. I have a million excuses:. Insecurity - Who cares about my walking program, my excitement over cooking healthy with fresh produce from the local farmers' markets, my upcoming vacation (yet another vacation! I'm approa...
