Goodbye 2011

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

Here’s a random, and for sure not exhaustive, list for 2011 of what made me laugh or cry or gasp, what made me proud, or feel all warm and happy, or really really sweaty, or loved or filled with envy or longing:

All the Living, by CE Morgan, The Outlanderby Gil Adamson,  The Sisters Brothers, by Patrick deWitt, The Reservoir, by John Milleken Thompson.

Breaking Bad, Boss, Modern Family, Homeland, Enlightened.

Mary Marcy May Marlene, Buck, Bridesmaids, Win Win, The Red Riding Trilogy, Shelf Life.

Fresh Air, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.

Hedgebrook, Hot Yoga, London, a visit from the Swiss, babies, finding the crack near Boulder Utah (not crack, a crack), Manzanita, San Pancho.

Saying goodbye to Jennifer.

My friends, family, the continual delightful surprise of my mother.

Bill (huh…I looked at the opening paragraph of this post and realized he makes me feel all those things).

Check out this great list of readers I get to read with on January 4th!

First Wednesdays, a series of readings, performances and wine-tasting are held at the Blackbird Wine Shop, 4323 NE Fremont, 7-9pm. This show is 21 and over.

More than a writing game, less than a novel, Intentional Ducati is an exploration of group mind! http://intentionalducati.org/.

Come and have a listen to a bunch of very short but cool stories.
