Alphabird: February 2008
http://alphabird.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
An alphabet. A bunting. A blog. And some utter randomness. Wednesday, February 20, 2008. A is also for And Now…. I am suspending entries in Alphabird for now and moving over to an even-more-random blog, Route 153. Come on over for a visit. Tuesday, February 12, 2008. A is for Animals. Slowly but surely, I’ve been working my way through the BBC’s Planet Earth. One thing I love about this series is all the types of animals filmed—animals I will likely never see in my lifetime, and ones I should. The first ...

Alphabird: October 2007
http://alphabird.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
An alphabet. A bunting. A blog. And some utter randomness. Monday, October 22, 2007. O is for October. It’s that most wickedly wistful of months, the one you step into only to find yourself knee deep in some sort of nostalgia or yearning—maybe for something you used to have; maybe for something you’ve yet to have. It’s the month in these parts when you’re reminded what orange and blue can be together, and something akin to belief tells you they were meant. Thursday, October 11, 2007. P is for Presbyopia.

Alphabird: C is for Cava
http://alphabird.blogspot.com/2008/01/c-is-for-cava.html
An alphabet. A bunting. A blog. And some utter randomness. Thursday, January 31, 2008. C is for Cava. So, I’m in Portland again, and last night Tim and I go to one of his (and OK, my) favorite little restaurants. Seats just twenty, including four at the bar—the bar not being a real bar, per se, but a little c. Ounter up against a half-wall topped with wine bottles. One might feel restricted at the bar if the food ( c. Tim is already eyeing up the wine list, and I don’t think he gets what I think. Ome the...

Alphabird: September 2007
http://alphabird.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
An alphabet. A bunting. A blog. And some utter randomness. Thursday, September 27, 2007. S is for Snake. First, a brief explanation: I wrote this back in 1996 for a fly-fishing audience, introducing a journal issue that included one or two articles about the various ways, historically, that anglers got to water. This was the first part of the introduction, the part that came before the hey-look-what-you’ll-find-in-this-issue part. There are things I decided not. But we were discovering a lot of side road...

Alphabird: May 2007
http://alphabird.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
An alphabet. A bunting. A blog. And some utter randomness. Sunday, May 20, 2007. V is for Vermont. There are no billboards here. There is asparagus, in a cooler at the farm stand, $2/bunch, honor system. There are Chuck and Dave. Back from their winter haunts, already hitting the art openings, already absorbing tales from the cold season. There’s a pair of orioles at my suet cake, fighting with downy and hairy woodpeckers and a gang of starlings. The rose-breasted grosbeaks make me gasp every time. In fa...

Alphabird: November 2007
http://alphabird.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
An alphabet. A bunting. A blog. And some utter randomness. Friday, November 30, 2007. J is for Just Another Guy. On the occasion of her 365 finale. Years later, we met for dinner. Would we even recognize each other? Sfuzzi (the restaurant) was still new and still hot, tucked into Union Station. 8217;s beautiful mezzanine. Maybe it was 1990. Our chumminess quickly resurfaced as we caught up: work, marriages, this, that. After, I suggested a walk—maybe to the Vietnam memorial. He pointed to a name. Then, w...

Alphabird: R is for Roller Derby
http://alphabird.blogspot.com/2007/04/r-is-for-roller-derby.html
An alphabet. A bunting. A blog. And some utter randomness. Wednesday, April 4, 2007. R is for Roller Derby. They had names like Goldie Headlocks, Miss Creant, Killer Quick, Lois Blow. They were fully helmeted, padded, mouthguarded, fishnetted. They were fast, graceful, tough. I wanted to be out there. I wanted to be them. I wanted to be 15 years younger and living near leagues. Lois Blow, queen of my heart. April 4, 2007 at 9:46 AM. April 4, 2007 at 10:36 AM. PS What would be your roller derby name?
