Diane
Stuff to Live Up To ♫♪December 23, 2007
The best thing I can say about Diane is that she is an honestly good human being that totally deserves my love and respect.

Diane is amazing, she is really funny, clever , with a deeper knowledge of human soul....I feel really charmed to be her friend !!!! Ah!! y habla muy bien el castellano :o)

Okay, now I have to write yet *another* testimonial because Diane is *TOTALLY* my hero and deserves all the fine chocolate that can possibly come her way. Hooray for librarians!!!

Diane is a mean, evil bitch and you should believe *nothing* she says... especially when she's right, which is when she's most dangerous and wins the arguments and stuff (but humble nonetheless--I have to grant her that). I should know.

She's a mandolin addict, and it bodes ill... Pretty soon she'll be a skid-row bum, sitting on the streets of Germantown playing "Soldier's Joy" for pocket change to buy herself gloves so she can cut off the fingertips and continue to play even during the driving snow...

Diane is my homegirl, my partner in crime, my fellow Fool and my believing mirror. We share wisdom, experience, encouragement and jokes all day long, and I can honestly declare that without her my everyday life would be close to unbearable.
She is witty, clever, sensitive and profoundly humane, what makes her friendship an invaluable priviledge in a world full of plastic and novocaine people.

about me
I am a fiery spirit with a wicked temper, and a passion for living life to its fullest. I love Tribe. I think it is wonderful to get to know new people and read your blogs and look at the photos you post, chat it up in the tribes, and just generally have a good time. My motto: If it ain't fun, don't do it. (If it's fun and it doesn't hurt anyone, do it with GUSTO!) I am married to my children's father, a wonderful man I am happy to travel through this life with. And we sort of agree -- now that we've been told the true "meaning" of "marriage" by those who think they own the definition -- we'd prefer to not have done that, but instead just live as life partners, maybe with a civil union. Divorce is messy, though, so I guess we're stuck in this marriage. LOL. Therefore, I think every couple who wants a marriage ought to be given one. Capiche?

I've Probably Said This Before, But...
Jason is the son-in-law of my friend Amma. The husband of my friend Lucas. He died on the second day of August last year after a tragic, freak accident, and his death literally changed my life.... I'm not sure anybody really understands how much. I wrote the following as a comment on one of Amma's recent blog posts, and then decided I wanted to have it here, too.

I had the best day. The race I've been training for over the past 8 months is finally done, and now I look ahead to my first half-marathon.

Would it be rude to ask you to follow a link to read about this? I could post the text here without much trouble, but the photos are imbedded at this other site, and it's a much nicer read because of that. If you can't be bothered, let me know so that I don't make a habit of it! Here's the link: diarnold.blogspot.com/2008/08...8-is-... read more 
It really doesn't matter if I win. Usually. But it's true that I've become more competitive over the past year.

I started out racing just for the adrenaline rush, the camaraderie and the fitness test. Where else do you really push yourself to do the best you can, but in a race? No excuses for "taking it easy," it's a race! The time to take it easy is after the race. This weekend's five-miler called "Run for the Hill of It" was on my "home turf." The course is a wide, beautiful trail I r... read more 
It's 10 a.m. I'm looking forward to meeting a friend in Philly for dinner tonight. We're hitting a Thai restaurant I haven't been to before. A BYO, my kinda place. I'm hoping that I'll have a bit more "pep" by then.

We had a kickin' thunderstorm last night, and I was out sleeping on the porch. Really nice. I slept very well, with the exception of maybe a half-hour when I lay awake enjoying the lights and sounds and the very brief mist on my face. I fell asleep again with lights still flash... read more

"What's that? You don't care?? This can't possibly be the same Diane?" Well, it's true. It's been a scorcher lately. But only the second heat-wave of the season. We don't have a/c at our house, though our kids have window units in their bedrooms. And I've been sleeping on the screened porch on the really hot nights. What's different about this year, though, is that it's really not bothering me. I'm not complaining about... read more
