The Cranky Cow: March 2012

Ruminations about things probably best left unsaid . About Kou K. Nelson. Monday, March 26, 2012. Here Comes the Rain, Again. The only thing better than rain is post-rain. I love the sound of it on the roof and windows, on leaves and overhangs. I love the feel of it, warm or icy cold as it dribbles down the inside of my collar, trickling along the part in my hair. I love the smell of ozone that accompanies it. Rain coats were frequently left unbuttoned. It was always much more entertaining to position an...

It’s only two words. 8220;Swiss Coffee,” I say, trying not to sound morose or resigned. Sounds like the canned sugary instant beverage that came out in the eighties, but it’s not. It’s a paint color. A bland, commercial paint color only mildly less dull than Navajo White. Which is like saying it’s Hellman’s rather than Best Food’s mayonnaise. I blame my mother.

Ruminations about things probably best left unsaid . About Kou K. Nelson. Monday, February 27, 2012. Who knows what mysteries the canister holds? I’ll be the first to admit that housekeeping is not at the top of my skills list. It’s not that my mother was a slob by any stretch. She taught my sister and me to vacuum and dust. We tidied the yard and always had clean clothes. How I came to this point is my own doing. Ok, our house isn’t so bad that we warrant an episode on Hoarders or Clean House. Even so, ...

I remember the first time I had a pomegranate. The outside reminded me of a woody pink pear. I watched as my mother put the dull looking fruit on the cutting board and sliced it into quarters. The juice was magenta, my favorite Crayola color. My mother handed me two slices. Don’t swallow the seeds.”. 8220;It’ll stain! The beautiful pink was faint.

After a friend posted gorgeous photographs from her trip to Alaska, she stated that she was eager to see my photographs of our recent trip to Dublin. The thing is, there’s only about a dozen or so, and that includes the photos of a bound pork leg and wax figures of Bob Geldof and Liam Neesom, pictures that serve no purpose except for momentary amusement. But later, I photog...

Ruminations about things probably best left unsaid . About Kou K. Nelson. Friday, November 25, 2011. The Fox and the Hound. Giving thanks can change at a moment's notice. As a child, Thanksgiving began when my father pulled out the homemade red stained table with detachable pipe legs. We always had a huge holiday spread. Appetizers consisted of the standard mixed nuts, salami and red wax covered gouda cheese with crackers (if I was lucky, Wheat Thins, if not Triskits, or worse, Ritz). Salad made its appe...
