Out at a funeral today. Despite all of my practice, I just don’t seem to get better at dealing with death. Each one wounds, then seems to pick off the scabs of all the ones that went before it. This is my version of coming home and having a good, stiff drink.
I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.
I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.
My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes

Praying for you.
Sending peace and love your way.
I am so very sorry. It never gets easier and age and custom do not help, in my experience.
Hope all is well….
Strength and courage to you.
