  1. 9/11 Boatlift

    September 20, 2011 by Katie Schwartz


    “The story of the 9/11 boatlift is a reminder of the sense of shared purpose and resilience that pervaded New York – and the world – in the immediate aftermath of the attacks.” Huffington Post

     

    Never tell me New Yorkers don’t take care of their own.

  2. 9/11

    September 10, 2011 by Katie Schwartz

    After watching the last episode of “Rescue Me,” days passed before I could assign an emotion to the finale. Though, after a while, I realized that, for me, it was perfect, eclipsed by sorrow. In reality, the two feelings live side-by-side, something I chit-chat about sometimes.

    On some level, “Rescue Me” was healing after 9/11. What occurred to me was just how much I had on it, something I didn’t know. And, I shared my thoughts with a friend – She got it and expressed similar feelings.

    I remember flying home the moment flights to New York were permitted. When I saw the remnants of the Trade Center still aflame, I sobbed and wanted to cover my city with a giant, white feathery duvet.

    Goodbyes are never easy for me. I hate letting go. It’s a HUGE problem. For reals. (Working on it.) The lesson, I guess, is another reminder to live in the moment and MAKE time, the greatest gift a person can give, with the people I love.

    I will never forget 9/11 or the aftermath. I don’t want to.

    This was my favorite scene. Lou was a great character. Though, and really, we loved all of them, didn’t we? Yes, we did.

    Thank you for the rescue when I didn’t know I needed or wanted it.

    Deliciously dark and so very “Rescue Me”

  3. Bad Hats

    August 11, 2011 by Katie Schwartz

    I think this is the kind of hat that every girl or guy wants their beau to walk in wearing, and with pride.

    How convenient.

    On what occasion would you wear this hat?

    Fat free hat for the fat foodie in all of us.

  4. Katie, you need a life

    August 7, 2011 by Katie Schwartz

    1. I’m having a visceral reaction to Twitter’s new layout.
    2. I’m expressing too much enthusiasm for G+.
    3. I’ve swapped out my WP theme a half dozen times today.

    As you were.

  7. Apartment on Twin Peaks, Written by Helen Adam

    July 1, 2011 by Katie Schwartz

    I remember, when the moon shines clear

    How I’d whisper in my husband’s ear

    Like a dentist saying “Open Wider”

    “Don’t you want to be a good provider”

     

    “dont you want to be the gracious host

    In a lovely home of which you’re proud to boast?

    When my girl friends come to call

    We’ve got to have carpeting from wall to wall”

     

    After the carpeting he fought and bled

    Trapped in the jaws of the Davenport bed!

    He screamed as he vanished up the vacuum spout.

    In triple-sealed bags it spat him out.

     

    We chased his skull across the Twin Peaks stones.

    Maud’s pet chihuahuas ate the rest of his bones

     

    Another gnawed ghost, another gone man,

    Another mild husband in the garbage can

    Served up colder than his marriage vows

    On his bones let chihuahuas browse.

     

    – Women of the Beat — You have to buy this book.
