Yup, too many Starbucks. Everywhere. As I do here in Toronto, I boycotted them, opting for morning coffee and a NYC bagel from Zabar’s . They’re on the upper west side, at 80th and Broadway. Go if you’re in New York! Here’s a map. Along with the frustration of too many Starbucks was the challenge…

Sunday Scribblings #55 – Vision

Impossible. She couldn’t describe the flurry of images that only drew breath when she visited that mystical place in her mind. And she didn’t want to. Nor must she. Share them, that is.

Sunday Scribblings #50 – Quitting

To be a quitter, to resign from, to leave, to abandon burden. To quit. Quitting conjures negativity. When, they have “given up”. They couldn’t tolerate their boss any longer, so they quit their job.

Sunday Scribblings #48 – Telephone

Red dial telephone. I was the phone that lived in the basement at 11 Santamonica Blvd. The one that Jenn and Kim (and often Lori Day) made the crank calls with. The one that they used to speak quietly to their “boy friends” or gossip with their “best friends” on. I would sit on top…
