Just me, sharing thoughts, photos, quotes, adventures and daily life unless nobody reads it. Then it's just me. Enjoy. Or not. Saturday, March 2, 2013. A Walk on the Frozen Bay. A nearly one ton white Italian marble crucifix lies 24 feet under water in Little Traverse Bay. It was placed years ago as a memorial to divers. Divers' Memorial - Underwater Crucifix near the Petoskey Harbor. Jim heading out on the ice. We had a little fun with the ice formations along the way. Mary Photo by James Hansen. Doesn'...

Just me, sharing thoughts, photos, quotes, adventures and daily life unless nobody reads it. Then it's just me. Enjoy. Or not. Tuesday, May 22, 2012. How Old is Old? Last week I saw a patient (I'll call her Clara) I've seen several times before but this visit was memorable. From past appointments I remembered her as an 80-ish woman, cheerful, positive, with an easy smile. As we chatted she mentioned she was going to be 100 years old this year! She admitted she does have some memory issues (don't we all?

Just Me: Jim
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2009/12/jim.html
Thursday, December 10, 2009. So, I was married before. I am in a different life now, that other one seems like it happened to a different person altogether. It lasted almost four years - four years from "I do" to divorce, or, "I don't anymore.". I married a man who drank. This post could end here - I mean, why even bother to explain? It's obvious, isn't it, the end result of my alcohol-saturated marriage? His name is Jim (Or that could be. Just like that. On my own. I'd never been on my own before. I...

Everyday Nutritarian: My New Food Processor
http://everydaynutritarian.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-new-food-processor.html
The daily efforts of a novice nutritarian. The joys and frustrations of eating a nutrient dense diet in a world of Standard American Diet (SAD). Recipes and meal ideas, too. Sunday, January 15, 2012. My New Food Processor. I got a new food processor for Christmas and it makes short work of so many recipes! Besides hummus I've made Butternut Squash Soup. Cranberry Relish, Black Bean Cakes and Sweet Potato Fries with my new toy already. I'm having so much fun and I've just begun! Sweet Potato Fries before.

Just Me: Those Annoying Platitudes and Their Basis in Reality
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2011/02/those-annoying-platitudes-and-their.html
Sunday, February 20, 2011. Those Annoying Platitudes and Their Basis in Reality. You know how when something terrible happens to someone you know, you suddenly remember that life is short and can turn on a dime and you need to live for each moment and not waste your time on the small shit? Well, quit it. A childhood friend of my sister's was just diagnosed with ALS and given a prognosis of six months to two years. He wrote to her:. I am lucky to know how I am going to die.". I agree. When all is well...

Just Me: June 2011
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 6, 2011. Ben's dead now, so I removed the water bowl from the deck and brought it inside, because, though some random bird or squirrel may have enjoyed a drink, it was meant for Ben. Only Ben. It's been two days since I found out and I haven't been able to bring myself to vacuum the hair he left behind on the couch. I gathered some of it and put it on the little ledge of my kitchen counter; when I remember to buy envelopes, I'll tuck it inside one and write his name on it. Mix in a small bow...

Just Me: Whew!
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2010/03/whew.html
Tuesday, March 16, 2010. The past couple of months have taxed me. Tell me, when is the last time you went through three highlighters in ten weeks - from juicy to crackly dry - and lit up a textbook like a Christmas tree? And one day I even had an out-of-body experience when I printed what I had completed of my research paper and realized that it was much more complete than I had thought it was. And then I wondered who had actually written all of that, because I did not remember doing it. Next term cut do...

Just Me: Balls
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2011/02/yes-balls.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. Balls," my daughter said. My daughter said balls, and it was the testicle kind. But now she's old enough to not only know what balls are, she's old enough to say them to her mother without batting an eyelash. I'm okay with that. Will be the day that you will address that issue.) Yeah, in my own mom-way, I, if not quite. Them, tried to embrace every aspect of child-rearing, pleasant or not. And that's because I knew the whole thing is fleeting. February 28, 2011 at 7:15 PM.
