I’ve been away from this blog for some time now.  Funny how things change.  Last I posted wine descriptions, to begin a foray into wine blogging.  Well, not so much anymore, as B and I are going to attempt to make a baby.  YAY!  So now I guess I’ll do tea blogging instead.  I suppose the concept would be the same.  There, I just added one for the tea I’m drinking right now.  The concept is this:  When you first go to take a drink, close your eyes.  Take a deep breath and let images come to your mind’s eye.  Then take a drink, eyes still closed and let the images solidify.  It’s one way that wine drinkers learn to remember one wine from another, and I imagine it will work well with tea.

Sitting on a chaise lounge, which is set upon the front porch of a house in a remote part of Arizona.  A variety of cacti grow along the porch, and I look out over the barren desert vista.

Walking to the clearing on top of a forested hill on a warm autumn day.

As I sat here making out my grocery list a few minutes ago, I wondered:  What did people do for freezer wrap before there were ziploc bags and food savers?  What did they use?  Was it re-usable, or has freezer packaging always been disposable?  When were freezers invented anyway?

Lately my whole life revolves around wedding stuff, so most of my new entries will be here:  http://pieridaewedding.wordpress.com

 Enjoy!

I haven’t written here much.  I’ve been sick, but I’m finally getting better.  I’m also on a Nelly Furtado kick.  I don’t konw what that says about me.

“Because I’ve always felt, whether the fatwa or whatever, the writer’s great weapon is the truth and integrity of his voice. And as long as what you’re saying is what you truly, honestly believe to be the case, then whatever the consequences, that’s fine. That’s an honorable position.” ~ Salman Rushdie  (Hemingway says this as well!)

I awoke, tired and groggy, at 1 pm.  Even the simplest tasks of making coffee and filling the water pitcher were difficult.  Why am I in such a state?   I was up until 5 am, playing a game.   Well, not just playing a game, but also making hamburger for chili, smoking cigarettes and watching the Janice Dickenson Modeling Agency.

The sages do not consider that making no mistakes is a blessing. They
believe, rather, that the great virtue of man lies in his ability to
correct his mistakes and continually make a new man of himself.

– Wang Yang-Ming (1472-1529) Chinese Philosopher
