State of the Art
So, I’m doing well, except when I’m not.
Work is going very well. I’m communicating with the people I need to communicate with. I am convincing, without hard selling, that the product is worth while. I’m connecting.
I’m missing the marriage, the partnership, the easy physicality, the daily humor, the being wanted, anticipating someone else’s needs (from shopping for ties, to guessing what’s bugging him.)
It doesn’t transfer well at all.
Last year, this time, I was emotionally unavailable. I could flirt like a married woman.
I was no threat, because I didn’t want anything of anybody.
Now I’m needy, and that is not a comfortable place for me to be.
I have agendas, I read into things. I’m looking for cause and effect.
I’m outer focused, only not in a good way. I am the spider; despite myself I want to draw you in.
My energy is electric, dangerous, both heightened and static, tense.
I have reprieves, but I don’t have control.
I’m playing old sad songs, early Dylan(as played by Jerry Garcia), Leonard Cohen, Richard Farina, Phil Ochs, dead men all (except Dylan, who is at least preserved).
If I were radioactive, I’d need time to degrade down to where I was safe enough to handle. When do I get over being sad? How shall I channel my energy until then?
The Art of the Day Must be: Patience, what's the alternative?

Some days "It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place". This blog is to chronicle the running, and point out the interesting things, people, places, I meet on the way.
About Me
- Name: the other Joan
- Location: New Hampshire, United States
I've lived in all 4 New states, NY, NJ, NM, NH. I grew up as far away as you can from Manhattan and still take the subway.(I used to put subway tokens in my penny loafers so I could click my heels three times and go home). I've sung solo in the Parma Opera House. My brother and sister are twins. I believe that people want to be used, but they want to be used well.

Red Queen Rules:
- Keep your eyes on your

it's who you do best - Every problem has
a family
Because it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place.
