A Day Without My Computer
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – August 9, 2004 – A Day Without My Computer – I may have already mentioned that I bought my first computer in 1989. My prior technological expertise was limited to a black dial telephone. I was quite comfortable with its many features – rotary dial device, dial tone, busy signal – wait for an incoming call – pick up – chat – hang up.

A Cloudy Day & Scrambled Eggs
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – August 8, 2004 – What you may well ask, does one have to do with the other? Well, if you give me a minute, I’m going to explain. After my trip to Stratford yesterday and a last minute decision to watch The Big Lebowski on television last night, I was exhausted this morning. It was a sunny, blue-sky morning and I took Augie for his walk at eight-thirty, then dove back into bed and snoozed until eleven o’clock.

A Day Trip To Stratford
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – August 7, 2004 – Last evening I had one of my dreadful, thrashing, menopausal nights. Snuffed sinus cavities, hot sweats, covers off-covers on and an inability to settle down and get comfortable. At quarter to four I was still awake. I had to get up at seven-thirty to get ready to go to the theatre at Stratford. Eric and Dorothy’s birthday gift this year was a picnic by the river and tickets to King John.

In An Instant
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – August 6, 2004 – I know it’s true that life can change in an instant. The changes can be happy or sad, positive or negative, self-chosen or externally directed. The arbiter of how these changes will affect anyone is oneself.

Yikes – A New Hairdresser
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – August 5, 2004 – As if buying new glasses wasn’t enough for one day, I thought I’d test my limits and pop off to meet my new hairdresser in the afternoon. I’d asked a few friends for recommendations and my sister-in-law mentioned that Vivien and Eva, of Moby Dick Book Club fame, swore by Ines in The Beaches.

New Glasses
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – August 4, 2004 – It’s always a relief to go and see Peter, my optometrist and to walk away with a clean bill of health.

Summer Is Fading Fast
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – August 3, 2004 – It’s hard to believe that it’s August already. It was just May and the leaves were full and fresh with spring green.
