Hair, Hair!

February 20, 2015 By Gail

Minus 25 wind chills and our dog, Booker, wanted to go for his usual morning walk. I began the layering process to accomplish this feat: Bra, panties, silk long johns, thick socks, yoga pants, long sleeve T-shirt, wool sweater, down vest, down coat, snow pants, winter boots, neck gator, fat gloves, wool headband. What had I forgotten? Oh yeah, the… Read More

A Faded Pink Ribbon

February 20, 2015 By Gail

Thrum, bump, bump. Thrum, bump, bump. My finger tapped along to an oldie tune playing on the radio as the patchy asphalt on I-35N kept my tires in rhythmic beat.

I, on the other hand, look for one friendly face, or at least… Read More

February 7, 2015 By Gail

Wahoo! Date night! And what says date night better than watching a couple of lovers (one wife + one hired hand) bump off a husband? In black and white and maybe fifty shades of grey no less.   I know, right? My husband, who, whom?, I do not want to bump off, suggested we go to the Heights Theater (http://www.heightstheater.com) to… Read More

Sticking A Finger Down The Throat Of Your Life

February 5, 2015 By Gail

Yep. I’m talking purging. Not the “I ate too much chocolate—again! —kind of purging, or the toilet hugging after-effects of drinking that third Pomegranate Cosmo on girl’s night out kind of purging. The purging to which I refer is about letting go of what holds us back. My friend and integrative healing therapy coach, Jeanne Daniels, (www.jeannedaniels.com), told me I… Read More
