something strange is happening
Maybe because I am going outside more, but the hang-out guys on the block are greeting me each time I pass by. I love the “hey baby” when I could be their GRANDMOTHER. Most of them know I was a ...
Oops at work
I was asked to go in to help with a videotape taken at a hospital. The complaining witness was still at the hospital as she was badly injured. There was the camera man, myself, two district atto...
The comforts of living alone
I was going to entitle it “the joys”, but I think “comforts” fits better. Everything is just as I left it No one leaves me extra dirty dishes No one eats up the food I was saving for later I can...
Home Instruction
Within the NYC school system, there are teachers available to go to the house of a student who cannot come to school - either for a mental, emotional or physical disability. I had two experiences...
Getting out of the house
I am your basic hermit. If there’s enough food, I can stay home. I have 13 windows and a marvelous view, so I don’t feel as if I am in a cave. I love solitary activities and am not bored. So, ...
voting
All my voting life, I’ve been a Democrat. I am starting to re-think my values and beliefs, and I think the Green Party is more in keeping with who I am/have become. http://www.web.gpnys.com/?pag...
Long day
I started by going to a movie. I went to see My Old Lady. It’s a movie, set in Paris with an interesting plot. It turns out, if someone is living in the apartment, it can still be sold, but th...
staying close to home
After the fiasco Tuesday evening, once I got home, I have had NO desire to leave the safety of my apartment. The problem is, I’ve been eating MYSELF out of house and home, and a grocery shopping...
The Green Prince - movie review
Was it a movie? Was it a documentary? Were there actors or the people whose lives were described? I am still not sure. This movie, based on the book, “Son of Hamas” is about the role the son o...
Out of my comfort zone
I often find out about gatherings after the fact. I got to go to this one (http://religionsfortheearth.splashthat.com/). People from religions I never even heard of were there… I hope this make...
Internet friends vs. face-to-face friends
I used to have many arguments with my mother who was NOT into computers about whether or not the use of the computer diminishes social activity. I am thinking, it changes it for sure. I can spen...
Meet-Up - 1st time in NYC
I chose to go to a Meet-Up in my neighborhood. Beer, free pizza, karaoke. Basically I went for the free pizza… LOL.. and the fact it was nearby, so I could walk home easily. I am not a bar perso...
come sit with me
> There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. L...
I did it
I got together with someone whose posts on facebook, not only do I enjoy, but I agree with. We met for a beer. We wandered from bar to bar looking for a certain brand: Stella Artois. We finall...
Dream elements
For MANY years, certain elements pop up in my dreams with regularity: 1 - riding a rolling chair: usually it’s an office chair, once in a while it’s a wheelchair, but I am not stuck with it. I ...
Doing the loop, San Diego style
In staying close to home, I got a few errands done. First - getting rid of garbage/recycling. Then I took the bus to the post office - I had two packages to mail out. I checked the post office...
laughing yoga day 2
I decided to go to the Sunday laughing yoga group. It was in the afternoon, so I had time to go to lunch before getting to Balboa Park. I stopped at San Sei - a Japanese fast food place - on the...
Got it right
sort of I got out of the house in LOTS of time to catch the bus to the trolley to get to the mall to go to the movies… I forgot the packages to mail…I probably had enough time to go get them, but...

I had today all plotted out. I was going to the movie about Cantinflas - at 10:40 a.m., then on the way, drop off the packages at the post office (there’s one at the mall), and pick up my change...
lunch
Leftover brown rice, leftover cauliflower, newly cut up onion and sweet peppers (red and orange). Sauteed in sesame oil, added some rice vinegar, soy sauce and Chinese mustard. I never measure…...
meal planning
I’ve been watching a lot of public broadcasting… you can get good ideas from those shows. There have been two different doctors on lately with “non-diet” meal planning. I am going to try to inco...

http://laughteryoga.org/english I figured out how to get downtown by bus. Actually two buses. I waited for a long time for the first bus. There was a lady there waiting also - she had an empty...

new friends?
I decided to try meet up again. I signed up for a few groups in NYC. Then I saw a cover story on it in a local (San Diego) free magazine (the Reader). So I joined in SD. I have to be careful ...
staying "close" by
I needed to get out of the house!! I went to the library - in walking distance. Turns out I got there an hour before it opened. So, I waited - found a shady spot on a bench. I got on the compu...
