Time.
SnapDragon on the past, present, and future. Greetings, Dear Reader. I hope these words find you well, wherever you are, or wherever you are going. This chilly, pre-winter morning calls for the listening of George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass. (The entire album, of course.) From a young age I was keenly aware of the…

Yes.
What an extraordinary day. The autumn leaves sing harmoniously in one last gasp of life. We’re still here, each one of us. Let’s make it count.

A Humble, Bumbling Mess.
A Small(ish) Rant . . . Ugh. This post is going to be. . . well, I don’t know. Some sort of toxic mess of self-reflection, frustration, and most likely, curse words. It’s going to be like a spilled pot of boiling pasta: A goddamn disaster. ‘Cuz I gotta get these thoughts out, yo. It…

Little Bird.
It’s a gorgeous autumn morning here in Pennsylvania. It’s a crisp 56 degrees Fahrenheit with a gentle display of sun. My kitchen window is open, I have a decaf iced coffee before me, and Father John Misty sings beautifully in the background. It’s a good day. I like to watch the birds hop among the…

Curl on Up.
A short critique of Kate Jacobs’ The Friday Night Knitting Club Greetings, Fellow Bookworms! Now that I’m back from my little hiatus, it’s time to resume our Book-of-the-Month feature. It’s true, since my last BOTM post (August) I’ve read about six books and counting (go me!). So while I usually just focus on my most…

Sometimes you wish for a silence so still; sometimes you long for parties and games and loud guffaws. Sometimes you stare into nothing and…

Top of the Muffin (To You!)
Good morning, Dear Reader. I hope the weekend was satisfying, in whatever collection of activity that means for you and yours. Because here we are again: another start of another week. (gently rips off a slice of notebook paper, crumples and tosses it, then uncaps a pen for a brand new draft) Fresh start, yo.…

It’s Sweet, Yo.
Happy October, lovelies! It’s my favorite month: Pumpkins, a kaleidoscope of fall foliage. . . and don’t even get me started on the candy! Anyway, today is as good a day as any to list a few things I think are pretty neat. Snap’s Current Little Daily Treasures: -Blueberry Muffins. Wait, what? Didn’t you just…

Nothing to Lose.
Wuddup, friends? It’s been awhile. About a month and some loose change. And I’ve missed you. I just needed a small break from the interwebs, and from spouting off my two-bit musings for all of the world to see. Because sometimes life is weird, and complicated, and appears to be an overwhelming mess of disappointments;…
