Snippets of Summer.
Sweet Summer: It is making its slow, inevitable disappearance. And while I truly do enjoy all four seasons, I must admit I’m more than ready for fall. Bring on the cardigans; bring on the pumpkins. Let us north-easterners dry off our sweaty summer armpits and rejoice in the brisk autumn winds. But Snap, you’re getting […]

SnapDragon’s Top Ten Albums: Pick #2.
Hi! And welcome to the latest addition to my Desert Island Picks. In case you missed my little advertisement, I’ve decided to award ten–yes, only ten—top albums of my life. And when I say ‘album’, I mean the entire album, friends. The whole record. Not some compilation or mix tape. I put in the CD, crank up the […]

Sometimes.
All The Senses. . . . Sometimes when I’m freshly showered, with a spattering of lip gloss and my legs cat-curled up under, I feel a distant memory blooming. The air in my nose feels fresh, sharp. There’s a whimsy, an eyelash curl, a playground smile. I wash my hands in scalding water to kick-start […]

Just Another Day in Paradise, Yo. . . . Hi. How are you, Dear Reader? How do you feel today: body, mind, and soul? Pause. Think. Answer honestly. Me? I’m doing just fine, thanks. I’m currently sitting on our RV love seat, clicking past the miles somewhere between Ohio and Indiana. Sweet Baby Snap is […]

Wait Awhile.
A Weirdo, Cerebral Reflection from Yours Truly. . . . Wouldn’t it be something if our every thought could be documented? Like, our dreams could be stored away in The Vault of Complete Memories, which I visualize as a rather Soviet-looking building, filled with hundreds of books and videotapes. Every dream, pondering, or musing filed […]

Last Gasp.
Oh, Winter. I do love you. . . . There’s something about the last gasp of winter that I absolutely adore. Because even though it’s technically springtime–what with the equinox being over and all–we northeastern folks know that pretty much doesn’t mean shit. And while there are usually a handful of truly glorious, 70-degree days […]

Is This the Real Life?*
(Is this just fantasy?)* . . . This morning started in ordinary fashion: soft baby grunts, a bottle feeding, and our son happily kicking about in our bed, trying to snag Daddy’s iPad from the nightstand. (I also snuck a bite of raw cookie dough from the fridge at about 4 AM.) And later on, […]

Hidden Away.
I’m still here, yo! And doin’ just fine. . . . Hello, Dear Reader. And greetings from my shockingly somewhat-cleared-off dining room table, where a fresh iced coffee patiently sits within reach. I’m in fruit-punch pink sweatpants. My lips are annoyingly chapped. (takes a deep breath) Blogging is a funny thing: Really, it’s a strangely […]

Hi.
It’s 2022. I started the year with a fresh spirit. On New Year’s Day I diligently sat at our computer desk, typing the beginnings of an optimistic blog post. And then shit went sideways. Again. Pre-eclampsia hit at the end of my 32nd week of pregnancy. Thanks to an extraordinary medical team, our daughter was […]

2022.
See you in the new year, friends. It’s time for SnapDragon to turn inward. Time marches on. Be well. . . .
