What People Do to Cope

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , on April 19, 2013| 4 Comments »

Since Monday, I’ve been asking people what they do for comfort, to calm themselves.

A friend who had finished the race barely in time tried staying off social media and having her friends screen news stories to find the many heartwarming, “safe” ones.

Another spent a little time wandering among flowering trees.

Another cooks. Today I’ve been making chicken soup, which can take a long time and involve lots of steps if you want it to. (Barley alone takes an hour to cook.)

A third friend has been dropping off to sleep at night looking at happy family photos.

That sounds like another good idea.

Providence Photos

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on March 28, 2013| Leave a Comment »

I was in Providence for a work event this morning, setting out early to miss the traffic.

I got to walk around a bit, and I’m going to show you my photos. If you are wondering why I took the first one, it’s because it reminds me of a song in Guys and Dolls, one of my favorite shows. Do you know the “Fugue for Tinhorns,” in which harmonic gamblers bemoan the lack of a location for “the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York”?

It goes: “So the Biltmore garage is the spot. / But the one thousand bucks we ain’t got.”

Leaping for Joy

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , on November 21, 2012| 4 Comments »

Everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving around here. John’s family has left for Syracuse to join culinary forces with my daughter-in-law’s family. My husband and I just arrived in Providence, where we will celebrate with Suzanne, Erik, my sister, and my brother-in-law.

Big cooking starts early tomorrow. But I already made the From Scratch Club’s cranberry sauce that was such a hit last year. (I found it on their WordPress blog.)

So as not to repeat myself too much, I am just going to share a link John sent me that captures the leaping-for-joy spirit that should be the essence of a holiday that is basically about eating a lot of food with people you like. And then maybe taking a nap and dreaming you are flying.

This is just one.
