    Rebound

    July 26, 2006

    There is a lot to discuss here. I haven’t written since I posted about my mother’s death, being otherwise preoccupied, but there is more to say. I should write about her last night, but I’m not sure this is the space for it - my family reads this, and it was a hard night for [...]

    Today, when she hadn’t roused [...]

    Mountain mornings in Summer

    July 7, 2006

    I posted, below, a draft I began a few weeks ago. When I re-read it this morning, I realized it was more complete than I had thought. Since I wrote it, Mom has been catheterized and is bedbound. She can still manage an hour or two on the deck feeding the scrub jay, smoking cigarettes, [...]

    Documentation as Theory and Practice


    I didn’t intend to write an entry today. It’s been nearly a month since the last one, and I haven’t let myself have enough time to do the kind of ruminating that usually leads to an entry. Some notable events have occurred - I was accepted into the grad program I applied for, and if [...]
