  1. It’s Come to This

    09.29.2008 by Shannon

    This is not a political blog.

    I try my darndest to keep it as close to a creative personal narrative as possible. But I have to interrupt your regularly scheduled blog for this public service announcement [I'm sorry, in advance, to those of you whom I know read my blog but don't, however, agree with my politics]. We all must do what we must.

  2. Farewell, Taos

    09.18.2008 by Shannon

    Can too much beauty be detrimental to one’s health? There is a deafening quality to Taos — the sky’s explosion so loud it turns to a smiling quiet.

    “Taos mountain either takes you in or spits you out,” the locals say. The mountain, it feels, has taken me into its bosom.  But like a soul mate I’m not yet ready to marry, I leave Taos with wistful joy, my ‘big love crumb’ eyes fixed on the rear-view mirror the whole way out.

    Oh, Sedona, please take me in silence.

  4. To Love We Keep Returning

    09.14.2008 by Shannon

    My other love affair: New Mexico. Heading back to the land of 4D skies, horizon-tall sagebrush, and dirt the color of blood… or perhaps it’s my blood the color of that dirt…

    (Ye-Ha!)

  5. Does this Wallpaper Match the Curtains?

    09.08.2008 by Shannon

    If you hadn’t noticed, we’re playing around with the look of Not Keeping Score. Some new paint, wallpaper, welcome mat. We’ll get it eventually. (Comments always welcome; patience always appreciated).

  6. Beck, Babies or Tea?

    09.06.2008 by Shannon

    I thought it would be fun.

    A 6-day getaway to laid-back, green&lush Seattle. Hang with The Girls. Get a little crazy.

    In SF, my “color girls” (3 friends I’ve known since about 6 years old) wouldn’t stop until the whole town was painted red, red, red. Only thing is, suddenly I’m… old[er]. And definitely, certainly, unquestionably un-hip.
