LP Batéliere says bye bye

So here are some of the kids that I taught at LP Bateliere. I asked them to say goodbye. They are too much!

Good-bye Karla. Even though your posts were intended for others, I found your narration fascinating and the pictures were out of sight. This is the closest I will get to the Caribbean and have appreciated the opportunity to play the "fly on the wall." Thanks for sharing. Say hello to your folks for me.

2018: My Year in Music

Image
The year started out a blur, trying to dismantle a household built over 4 decades.  Trying to get my head around the fact that I even had to do it and why. I tried so many times to write this post, but every time I would pick it up I just wanted to throw it away.  So now, at the end of 2019, with a little time on my hands, I picked up the question of writing it again. I managed to complete 2017's entry a few months ago.  And then it only seemed right to complete this one.  The playlist was there, and I kept thinking about what I would write if I ever got around to it.  And now, I think it's time to face the music (ha!). So, here it is.  My songs of 2018 with all the beloved color commentary and neuroses you've come to expect from me below the playlist in case you'd like some context for the choices.  Enjoy, friends! What I Needed to Hear... " I Know A Place" - MUNA I so needed a place like is being described in this song in 2018.  I li...

2021: My Year in Music

It took me getting Covid-19 to give me the margin I needed to actually bear down and complete this, 5 full months into the year.  I'm recovered, isolation is complete. I'm about to re-enter the world again.   I'm changing jobs, changing a lot of things, and trying to plan with little to no information required for planning.  But I'm leaning into the mystery and trying to enjoy the space I have for now, because time like this doesn't come around very often.   I have the benefit of extra time between the writing of this post and the selection of the songs.  I have been thinking about these songs for so long, it feels good to finally get the thoughts organized and out of me.  I finished up a big redesign on my apartment. I had a good streak going for most of the year where I spent the night of the first day of every month away from home.  So I explored some great new places and have a great new permanent space too!   A list of 20 songs...

Last day of Classes, Good Friday, and the first 24 hours in Istanbul!

Image
First thing’s first: I AM DONE WITH GRAD SCHOOL! I have turned in all my papers, finished all my classes, passed comps, and completed all my presentations. It feels great to come home at night and not have schoolwork to think about. About two months ago, my cousin Cara and I were talking about her upcoming trip to Istanbul. She told me about her great set up and it sounded like it would be a great way to celebrate the completion of my Masters degree. So I bought my ticket for the day after my last class. After two months of craziness involving much more than just school and work, I am now on the other side and looking at job searching, apartment searching, and just figuring out the next general steps for life. I am so excited to see what unfolds. Since there is very little certainty in my life, it’s probably best I just stick to writing about what I know, and that is mainly what has already happened. So I will do my best to recount the even...
