every moment, every day. always.

Poor hair! If it could talk it would say, "Hey let me just stay a color for more than 6 months! Puleeeeze?"

phew! pah-tay! (as they might say in britain if they said it in my bad english accent)

seems to me you can always be the lady who lunches. maybe a new tag line a la tolkien: there and back again (and again?)

but you have made "the lady who lunches" your own. hang onto it!

I know the feeling!

As a fellow mumbler who also gets a lot of crap for it, I relate. And don't feel guilty about being annoyed or angry. We all have a right to those feelings (says the person who still feels guilty about slavery, the way we treated native americans, and WWII). *sigh*

As a self-confessed Anglophile, I know that what I love about the Brits WAS Britain. it's a very different place from Jane Austen of Charlotte Bronte's time. And they wrote of a fictional Britain. maybe we are all in love with a fantasy that in America we (of a certain age) called Masterpiece Theatre. I do think the world has become a smaller place and we are more defined now by our similarities than by our differences.

Love the new header. Thanks for the pics and being such a great tour guide! We could use you in France right now!

Loved this. I too have felt time actually pass. Every once in a while I'll be doing something and in that instant realize that it isa magic moment that will be gone too quickly. Time seems to slow for just an instant and I feel like I could almost hold it - but then it slips away. :)

To me, the health care discussion comes down to what are fundamental rights. And these "rights" change over time - I mean, remember back in the day when our forefathers wrote the Constitution, slavery was legal and women had no stated rights. So given that rights change over time, health care becomes part of the larger context of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Of course, I'd throw high speed Internet in to that too. :-)
