Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love.
Love is not music. Music is the best!

[rock on! getting close to a new month, and even a new year — time for embracing changes and getting on with life! whoo-hoo!]

good evening from Sweet Bites

mellowing out in a soft chair at the coolio café near my new apartment. muscles sore from a day of loading & unloading furniture into & out of a U-Haul van, after a late night of packing and preparing to say "good-bye" to one place and "hello" to another.

big furniture delivery tomorrow—sofa, recliner, cocktail tables, TV stand, mattress & boxspring, and a pub table & chairs—yay!. home at last. and it culminates more than a week of gracious help, care, and support with and through the whole moving process from my best friend & primary decorating consultant, Barb: thank you, thank you, thank you!

thank Thor for ibuprofen, right? 800 milligrams thrice per day gets us mortals through.

sun has set before 5pm; night is falling. two bottles of Snapple empty on the table next to me. Peach Mangosteen Immunity & Noni Berry Refresh. time to go home.

Margarita's, Framingham, opening night

to the woman in Margarita's on opening night (16 November 2010): hello, i just wanted to buy you a Corona. i didn't want your number. i didn't want your name. you waved to me on my way out and said hello, and that was enough. i thought you were pretty, and i wanted to buy you a drink. that was all. enjoy!

home stretch

thank you, universe, for revealing my new place to live. i will take life in a series of sweet bites now, if you'll pardon the insider's pun.

c'mon, café paradise! coming to the home stretch now . . . almost there.

i asked and i received. sometimes life rocks! yay, world; yay, people.
