on winter light and other random revelations

This photo very succinctly tells the story of my morning. Today’s a gorgeous day. Fall has always been my favorite.

serious thoughts on a sunday

This morning I watched Joaquin dress himself. He started to put his shirt on backwards. I almost jumped in and fixed it. But I resisted the urge to do it for him and instead told him he should turn it around, which he did. All by himself. Like a big boy.
Looking at him it hit [...]

back in the states: top ten

It has been brought to my attention that I’ve been sounding rather morose here on the blog. So here, I offer – in no particular order – my top ten happy-making things about being back in the United States.
1. Unlimited quantities and infinite varieties of diet Coke. Except the one with added calcium, because DANG, [...]

leaving grenada: who, what, where, when & why

I was planning to explain this later, I was planning to write one last actually-in-Grenada post dedicated to the indelible images of the last few weeks, but enough people have asked the obvious question – WHY? – that I feel compelled to address WHY? before I leave, in spite of the fact that I have [...]
