final post here - but you can visit me at blogjem & other places

I've decided to close down my creative writing, meme, and mobile blogs.

This weekend I archived well over 2000 posts.  My main blog blogjem is going to have even more photos, more creative writing & a few memes.

No creative posts will be mostly mobile, because I do like to write as I go.

Hope to see you there. 

I'm leaving this notice up for a while before I totally close down.

Much bloglove to all.

It sure doesn't look like Friday here


Everyone on this subway car looks like they don't know where their next
laugh is coming from.

As for me well I'm doing okay. It's about quarter after ten in the
morning & I'm above ground.

Everyone be well.

hip hop love songs & pole dances


There are two teen-agers here with me in the last car of the 1 train.
The very tall he in yellow sweatshirt and ballcap is singing hip-hop
love songs to his very attractive she.

He reaches out to hug her closer - she grabs a pole and spins gracefully
for several very long seconds.

.me


Yesterday I was thinking about buying a .me, so off I went to GoDaddy to
begin the search.

I actually got a pretty good one considering bloggers have been scooping
them up like mad.

Okay, so now what next? I've been half thinking about a real re-do, so
do I tack up a redirection sign at blogjem?

Much to think about this morning that's for sure.

Have a beautifully bloggy day.

Death of a Sidekick


As in Sidekick phone, not Sidekick living and breathing life-form.

My blue LX went where all the heavily used smartphones go eventually,
and I replaced it with a Slide. The LX actually replaced a Slide. The
LX has a bigger screen, but the Slide's compactness won me back.

Now that the phone situation is resolved, I just need to take care of at
least a dozen other projects on my to-do list. I started a new
journal/blog project last night. It's something a little different, and
I want to work on it for a week or two more before I announce it.

This is a morning of train weirdness. The first train skipped stops, so
I got to where I needed to be way early. Then my connecting train
decided to skip that stop. Isn't it always the way?

Spoke to my daughter last night, who is phenomenally busy getting on
with with the life she loves. She plans to live cancer-free until at
least ninety. Wouldn't it be great if we all could.

The connecting finally showed,, and I managed to be the last on the
early bus. It's rainy and foggy, so you can barely see the skyline from
the bridge.

Can't wait tillI am in front of a cup of hazelnut coffee with steamed
milk.

Be well one and all.

No H2O


at my place this morning. They're hooking up a new boiler in the
basement. Even though I would took a bath last night, I still would
have liked my 'wake me up' one.

My face is pufffy. I have an incredible case of bed head & rinsing with
straight Listerine in leiu of brushing simply blows.

On the bright side my daughter spent the entire with me yesterday. It
was her birthday and she chose a tiramisu type cake with dark chocolate
and strawberries. There's one piece in the fridge, and it's my
breakfast.

Look I had no water this morning I need a treat.

Maybe you all have a wonderous weekend.

Happy Birthday Baby


Today my daughter is 26 years old & cancer-free. She was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia just six months. An
acute form that attacked her body savagely. Within a week her bone
marrow showed 70 percent cancer cells.

A combination of incredible doctors & a massive prayer network got her
through without the need for bone marrow. An only child her chances of
finding a donor - a million to one.

These are the times when you just know there is a God.

Blessings to all.

not a seat to be found,,,


at the laundermat round the corner from me.

Management is re-doing the building's lobby, and the laundry room has
been closed.

So this morning me and my grubby duds ventured out. Last week there was
a small bench in the back of the place for folks to sit and wait on.
This week it was gone. The place is also a service laundry, so I guess
he wants his people to be able to move freely around the place.

I went back to my apartment and yapped with a friend on my cell phone.

The laundry looked good enough to be in a commercial. I also managed to
get two big bags of stuff over to the Salvation Army, so it was a
productive morning.

Uh oh here's my stop. Back at you later .

Morning from the 1 train 04.27.2009


My buddy J came into New York yesterday for a day of photostrolling and
chatter.

We had a great time.

Monday, however, seems to ba a few hours early. I definitely felt like
sleeping the day away.

But I'm already on the train, so there's no turning back.

May you all enjoy your Mondays.

The lights flickered on the train


Everyone held their breathe and froze for just a moment, then they came
back on, the collective exhale was audible. NYCers fear blackouts.
I've lived through 3, which is let's see, 3 too many.

I had a nice walk downtown when I got back to the city. Stopped in at
my favorite Internet cafe to check in, and now I am heading home to a
cold ice tea and some TV.

Night Night.
