Wow, I’ve never gone so long without posting here before. I’ll come clean: I’ve been in a bit of a blog funk. Not feeling inspired, and not wanting to post just for the sake of posting (I believe in writing no matter what when it’s for your eyes only, but not when you have readers).

I’ve actually been soaking up the pleasure of secret observations – fleeting impressions of things/people/scenes around town that I take a moment to register and then allow to slip away. Sometimes that’s yummier than documenting, if that makes any sense at all?

…Or maybe I’m just making excuses. Maybe I’m just in a rut, and for anyone who actually reads this on a regular basis, I’m sorry for the interruption in service!

I will christen my return to the blogosphere with a list of five random things that have inspired and/or delighted me lately:

1. The weimeraner puppy I saw outside the Red Dog Cafe in Silver Spring today
2. “Fidelity” by Regina Spektor
3. Arugula
4. “Rebel Heiress” – the name of a new book about a woman who inspired poets
5. Rain. Lots and lots of rain, pouring down hard, while I sleep.

‘Til soon.
