The Board
Two of my friends are creating vision boards. Scratch that. One of my friends is creating a vision board, the other one, Pen, is creating a portable, 2-dimensional visualization tool. Pen rejects The Secret even though she recognizes the possible superficial overlap of her current theories—thus, the terminology becomes important. For those of you who

Sigh. I can’t win. I was leaving work today, rejoicing in the bliss of being able to leave a breathtaking hour early, when I saw a man walking into the building who seemed to be attractive. I say “seemed” because I didn’t really look at him directly. It was more a surreptitious scan—you know, the
Can’t Decide
I was at a lovely little neighborhood restaurant grabbing a quick lunch when I noticed that one of the men entering was, in fact, in his pajamas. I can’t decide how I feel about this one. On the one hand, noon can be very early for some people on a Sunday. It’s a neighborhood hangout.

A Play in One Act
[Please enjoy the synopsis of my day today] Kate: So, that’s a “yes” then? X: No. Kate: So, the answer is “no”? X: No. [confused look] Kate: So, that leaves… X: Not a “no”. Kate: But if it’s not a “no” then it’s… X: Not a “no”. [silence] Kate: hmm. X: Indeed.
Fantasy Guy
I’m certainly not the first person to sit around with her friends and wax poetic about the finer points of a handful of well-known handsome men. My friends and I might disagree about which “celebrity” guy floats our particular boat, but it’s still not unusual for us to get girlie and giggle (even at this
