Spirituality as continually redesigned by Lizzie and Jane
Lizzie and Jane’s brewing stew of back and forth trouble that hasn’t yet been loosed upon the world…
Because there’s nothing you can’t put on a list
Everything else Lizzie and Jane are thinking about…
Lizzie I had to reread the text message several times before I realized that the 10K request from my college daughter was NOT a plea for lavish senior-year funding. OMG, she wants me to RUN a 10K.

“This house IS NOT a democracy!” How many times did you ever hear your parents say (or scream) that? And how often do you say it now?
I hate to whine about myself here, for a few reasons: Lizzie and I promised one another, when we conceived Pandoration, there would be no personal whining. Unless of course it was funny. Another reason …

So, to continue from the last post, why did the lovely, exuberant, enjoyable restless, replete-with-sensory-feasting memoir Eat, Pray, Love sit on my shelf for months during 2008/2009? And why did it finally come off the …
Jane So I have to admit, before I even began to read this book, there has been a tremendous amount of conversation going on around me regarding Elizabeth Gilbert, …
Jane At the end of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, HBO aired the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 25th Anniversary concert. I usually approach these sort of things with a modicum of wary disdain …

Jane: So Lizzie, how has the past week been for you? We’ve both been busy and spoken/texted a bit less than usual. I’ve been feeding my internet/news fix with all sorts of interesting observations and …
