I’m sorry, but I just find this comical. I mean all I heard when I turned on the news this afternoon was about the tense situation in Bakersfield. For goodness sakes, two people were treated for possible contamination! America, the TSA is in trouble. In the same week two security officers reported feeling ill after [...]

Add some strength to your Christmas stocking

Patrick is probably going to whack me, but I’m giving you the link to his recent newsletter. There’s a coupon you can print there for a consultation and three free workouts for new customers. Evolution Exercise and Spine has really change my life. In the year and a half I’ve been going for super-slow weight [...]
The Clearing preview
December 16th, 2009 · No Comments
The e-mail came today. I’m already sketching out my weeks around a couple of expected graduations. I’ve told you about The Clearing before. It’s silly to say a place changed my life, but it did. This is the first place I realized I wasn’t going to be the mommy forever. In the middle of my [...]
The making of a new Web site
December 6th, 2009 · No Comments
Right now I have RecombobulationArea.com password protected so that only I can view it, but I was thinking: would anyone be interested in how a WordPress site comes together? I’d be fine with giving you a sign in and some narrative so you could follow along as I get it going. I’m taking my time [...]

Help me out with a new project
December 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment
As I mentioned the other day, I’ve been playing with the idea of starting a travel site. It’s time to do a little internet research. I’ve spent some time today looking for a site like the one I’d like to run. It would have everything from choosing where to go to how to handle travel [...]
It’s Brad V’s fault
November 29th, 2009 · 4 Comments
A year or so ago I thought I’d like to start a travel blog. I’d picked the name “the adventurous housewife” but soon realized that might have connotations I didn’t want to – ahem – have to defend. But then I saw Brad’s snap at Letters in Bottles. Though I’d seen the sign before, it [...]
Harvesting home
November 3rd, 2009 · 3 Comments
In a couple of hours I head home. In my suitcase (Carry on only! I’m too cheap to pay otherwise.) will be a boatload of rosemary. I know, it’s not everyone’s favorite herb, but rosemary lands high on my list of must have smells. I’m hoping TSA doesn’t think the garbage bag filled with stems [...]

Dear Italy, today I will mourn with you
September 21st, 2009 · 1 Comment
The country is stunned by the death of six Italian soldiers in Afghanistan. Flags are lowered today. There’s no doubt the country is sad. Yesterday morning prayers were said at Mass for their souls. Last night there was a moment of silence before the Orchestra da Camera Fiorentina at Orsanmichele. What I don’t have a [...]
