about me
Bespectacled sun bunny, transplanted westerner, urbanista, erstwhile dance junkie. Interested in nature, spirit, and the city. Trained as a city planner but not working as one (dammit!). Quasi-Buddhist eco-pagan who attends Quaker meetings. Now living in the big city after over 20 years in the Finger Lakes region of central NY. Refusing to accept the conventional "wisdom" that nature and cities are mutually exclusive or diametrically opposed. (What's a flaneuse? See one of my early blog entries).

To my friends on Tribe (whom I've missed in my absence!) ~ warm wishes to you on this shortest day and longest night. I'm so appreciative to have met all of the great people here, and I'll look forward to seeing more of you in cyberspace in 2008!

Be safe, jolly, and well. ~Flaneuse 
This Saturday I'm moving from Dupont Circle, where I've been living for about 15 months, up to Adams-Morgan. It's probably about a mile away as the crow flies, and a 20-minute walk, but it feels a world away. Very different in character from Dupont. Each has its charms. I'm excited, but moving is awful. It's amazing how much stuff one can collect in a year, without meaning to!

For the past week or so I've been in a bit of a funk. No large thing is wrong -- life is pretty good actually -- but little things add up: I came in second for a job I'd applied for. The last time I saw my sweetie we fought. Educational debt is bumming me out because it feels like I'll never be able to save enough for retirement and I worry I'll be eating dog food when I'm old, or have to take the pill like Ruth Gordon in Harold and Maude. My period is late (no, I'm not pregnant, just ir...

After years of wanting to see the famous DC cherry blossoms, I finally got to -- no excuse now that I live here! On Friday after work I went down to the tidal basin. The festival officially began on Saturday, and my thought was to get a "sneak preview" before the teeming hordes arrived. It was a good call; there were lots of people there Friday, but it was a relaxed vibe just before sunset, and not overly crowded. There were lots of lovers--scruffy 'emo' teen couples, middle-aged couples...

Today's New York Times has an entire article about Red Velvet cake, and how it is rising from its tacky status to become a sought-after comfort food. The accompanying photos made me drool and crave; I wanted to dive into a massive, sweet, pillowy slice. Hadn't I just seen one of these cakes somewhere? After work I went on a mission, battling the slush and cold wind in search of Velvet. I went to Afterwords Cafe, the Marvelous Market, and the Firehook Bakery, all to no avail. Where had I ...
