Only Time Will Tell
There are people in my life that I love (though very, very few) and there are people in my life that I have very deep feelings for (although, also very few). I have a long and tumultuous history with the people in my life that I love. Of the people that I have very deep feelings … Continue reading
Aloha, Popo
My grandfather passed away on February 7th in Reno, Nevada. He was haole and probably the 3rd or 4th husband of my Filipino grandmother (my mother’s mother). Even though she’d been married before, he was the only grandfather I truly remembered. He taught me to play poker when I was just a kid. He, my … Continue reading
A Few Days in Monterey
Our Company off-site was in Monterey, California on Thursday and Friday. Since the presentations began promptly at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday and since 4 of us were driving down together, that required me to get up by 5:30 a.m.! I showered, packed and rolled my overnight bag to the car rental place to meet up … Continue reading

Some Men Don’t Have a Clue
An attractive enough guy in his mid-30’s sent me a message that said something to the effect that he was good at giving full body massages, so would I like to have one? My response was that my friend is a masseuse. He then said that I should try one of his so that I … Continue reading
Fragile
Life is so fleeting. Guess I’m kind of in a funk right now, partially due to this reconnecting resolution that I’ve made for New Year’s. You see, reconnecting with people brings up memories of OTHER people from the past. My ex-husband and I had a friend, L., who was from Switzerland. Whenever the Euros gathered … Continue reading
