Orquesta Aragon and Geoduck

Last week I had the chance to go out with my husband and enjoy three of my favorite things: meeting interesting people, listening to great music, and trying new food. We started off the evening at Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley (Seattle’s venerable old jazz club…

I’m Back . . . With Some Thoughts On This Project

I’ve been in a kind of paralysis when it comes to this blog – at first I was just completely burned out on the project – not in creating things, but in the daily documentation that came with it. Then, after days missed turned…

I’m Taking a Little Break

I’m still working on things, although nothing very big or noteworthy, but I need to take a bit of a break from posting. Its beginning to feel too much like a chore and not fun, and since there’s no reason to wreck my creative…

Running Low on Creativity Today

This is the extent of my creativity for today – having a glass of wine with my honey in the bar. Does it count that we made the bar (albeit years ago)?

Mapping My Mind

Working on a ‘mindmap’ today to help outline a writing project I’ve got buzzing around up there in said mind. Also, take a look at the bunny we made for a rousing game of ‘Pin the Tail on the Bunny’: Its hard to tell…

101st Post

This is my 101st post. I’m a little more than a quarter of the way through this project, and I thought I’d take tonight to reflect on my experiences so far. I’ve had moments when I am just so inspired and can’t wait for…

Just Another Day in Asuncion

The night of May 18, 2000 began no different from any other night. Alvaro and I had been out to get dinner and a bucket of Bavieras at the little pizzeria nearby, and were up late watching television when we noticed the sound of…
