Still Pondering

Deb and Debra left comments to the last post. Maybe it is because I get the comments forwarded to my gmail account that I cannot access who is actually commenting. I am working on this and am checking out Haloscan.
Returning to Flag has been somewhat rocky for me. Being at my folks house was comforting on so many levels. Chief among them the simple familiarity of objects and surroundings,people and place. Living in a furnished rental is challenging. We are grateful to have found it and to live here, no mistaking it. It has provided the opportunity to find a home, explore, and is short term without a contract.
The difficulty is not having our own belongings surrounding us. Not having *our* coffee cups, not being able to look on our bookshelves to find the next good read, not having a studio, the internet. I am jones'in on that account! It's silly, I know.
So. Last night we hung out at Patty's house, for a small New Years gathering. Unfortunately we missed the pinecone drop. We were going to go to the early drop...we like our sleep. ;) But we had fun, met some folks and went home.
When JJ and I went to Manhattan we visited <A HREF="http://www.othermusiccom">Other Music</A>. It was good fun to introduce The J to a music store that had three of her CD choices in stock. I still have not listened to the <A HREF="http://www.dragcity.com/catalog/records/dc303.html">Joanna Newsom</A> CD. Later today.
In the meantime we are going to see The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith.
