It's been a long time since I nerdily reviewed a movie, but my husband and I went to see New Moon this weekend, and I just couldn't resist writing a post about it. The movie is a vampire love story. No, actually it's a vampire, werewolf, human love triangle. Bella (a [...]

Silk is a sexy fabric. It's smooth and soft and falls in glistening ripples like waves. Years ago, shortly before I moved to another state to be with Mark, I sent him a pair of silk boxers as a gift, and he wrote me [...]
The First Night I Kissed Him Haiku
The wild wind exhales,
Dead leaves whirl in a dance, then
lie still, quivering.

A few months after I first met Mark in college, we ran into each other in a campus dining hall. As we chatted, he admired my high school class ring. I held my hand out to let him see it more closely, and peering down [...]

Chocolates hide secrets:
luscious, empty, sickly sweet.
It's Valentine's Day.

Mark and I were friends, who would [...]
