Removed from reality.

I had occasion to work with someone I don't know at all today. We were staff at a conference and there was a whole lot of down time and so, we chatted. Her hair was thick and lovely, she was trim and fit. She had beautiful clothing and she took great care with her appearance. We spoke of her social life and her desire to be a mom. She was by outward appearances a confident woman looking for a man, a gal in tune with the biological imperative to reproduce. I couldn't believe what she said and I am still shaking my head in wonder. How is it that people, indeed women today have become so removed from the reality of life?


This seemingly educated young women in a conversation about birth said "It's just not natural. It's totally unnatural to push a baby from you vagina. It's just not natural!"

Ya ha! Is it natural, Honey. That's how it happens most of the time!

What we do.

We buy CDs. We like to choose and handle our music. Bringing home new music to share is a gift like roses or wine. Later we discover a recording that has fallen out of play and we nod and smile and share it again.

Although we have grown old together, I have never again seen your chin.

Mid Century

Mid century , mid century R-I-G-H-T! The '50's

I have been chuckling over this phrase for a year or so. It just popped into my mind a few minutes ago and I had time to Google it - so this century and came up with 10,900,000 hits so obviously it's seen a lot of usage

Still it strikes me as funny. My kid bought a mid century home recently. He's leaning towards mid century decor as well. Hmmmm obviously if you admire it you weren't there or you weren't aware.
