haircut

Today I cut my hair.  I chopped off about five inches.  I’m happy about it.  I did this before, last February, and it grew back. Today we went to a protest.  I don’t really want to talk about it, but I will say there were four of us.  It’s good to stand for something even… Read More »

today’s mostly neighborhood pics

What have you been up to lately?  Yesterday we went to a vegetarian society potluck, where we brought solar cooked rice & lentils.  I think they turned out unusually mushy, but the flavor was okay.  Last night I dreamt I cut my hair.  I think I might do that.  It’s driving me nuts again, maybe… Read More »

block party

I should have taken pictures of the things we drew in chalk on the street at National Night Out.  We walked to Broadway Soul Food, a restaurant.com gift certificate in my list pocket, but it’s closed Tuesdays.  So we were thinking about going to Gunther’s, but we happened upon a block party.  I met some… Read More »
