I didn’t mean to STOP

Ok, so things changed. Technical difficulties. General stuff. Let’s try to get back on track, but don’t go expecting pithy posts related to anything for a while. It’s gonna be a process. But, hey, it’s an archive, so be happy. Read more ›

Well we’ll go here and there and everywhere covered in sequins

I go lots of places, but I always want to take you along. Someday maybe we can get it together to take our show on the road, but only if you’re right there with me. Until then, take me with Read more ›

It looks like this might be a quickie

Whatever you do, please leave the bed unmade

    There’s just really no need to waste your time with it. We worked so hard getting it that way. So why not just crawl back in with me and this archive right now? Playlist     http://bubblesinthethinktank.com/east/2014/11152014.mp3Podcast: Play Read more ›

It has straps instead of sleeves

My mother once remarked to the January Fairy of her ability to go sleeveless in any weather. At the time, I didn’t have that ability.  But as I have become “a woman of a certain age,” it has become much Read more ›

Morning may come without warning

I don’t remember the last time that morning didn’t show up too soon. And that’s not necessarily like me.  Morning is great.  Awake but still sleepy.  Aware but still dreamy.  And, if things are as I want, the perfect chance Read more ›

And I’ve got wild knees for you

Yes. My knees shake and get weak and quiver and click and straighten and bend and kneel and and and… But it’s all to get to you. Maybe you should soothe them with silliness rather than making me do it Read more ›

I don’t know whether I’ma goin’ or comin’

It’s true that I get a little confused sometimes. I keep going around in circles with no idea how to get myself back in line. But then we get together and everything levels out and the silliness flows. Then I Read more ›

Say, where’s my other sock?

One of my most favorite things I do in my life these days is ‘sock duty.’ It’s something that I can’t even explain here (or probably anywhere), but it’s one of those things that I never want to miss, one Read more ›

I’d be satisfied, electrified

You couldn’t doubt that I’m satisfied, could you?  After this many years and I keep coming back…what else could I be? We all know that radio receivers convert radio waves into electricity.  But the electromagnetism generated becomes diffuse with distance. Read more ›

I like my potatoes and I like ’em fried!

You know how I like a good tuber. I like them loaded.  I like them naked.  I like them hot.  I like them cold.  I like them raw. Crispy, salty, creamy, lumpy.  Even a few days old. I like to Read more ›

Making waves across my time

It’s like a wave that comes over me sometimes. I just think about the show and I get this feeling in my chest, a little week in the knees, a bit flush in the cheeks. You’d think it was a Read more ›

Til these hours that we share, disappear in the morning air

Those hours we get to share are some of the best hours I have.  If they weren’t so perfect, I wouldn’t feel like there are never enough of them.  And I probably wouldn’t need to keep coming back for more Read more ›

Let it rain, let it pour, ’cause I think he knows just what it’s rainin’ for!

There’s no doubt about this kind of thing when it comes to me. You’ve read way too many of my ramblings over the years about me and rain and thunder and all that. Yet somehow these days I love it Read more ›

In fact, i got this hug that’s been building up

That’s how it works all week. I leave you behind at the end of every episode of Bubbles in the Think Tank whether I want to or not.  And I think that you know that it’s a not. Then I Read more ›

Just to walk with you along the Milky Way

We see each other at night so much. But we’ve never been anywhere that we can see the Milky Way together.  That’s where we ought to go next. A place so dark that no one else knows we’re there.  A Read more ›

You stay up later when everything’s outside

You keep me up later than I would be otherwise. I stay up thinking about what I’m going to do for you next, waiting for you to tell me what you want and hoping it’s something I can give you. Read more ›

At last the stars are bright and shiny

When I walk out of the studio every week, I look. Can I see any stars, even in the city?  Is it a full moon?  How fast are the clouds moving?  Could that be…? I used to drive to the Read more ›

I’m gonna hoot and howl like a lovesick owl

I didn’t know what to call it until this post title was chosen. I can’t hear myself no matter how hard I try to listen. Sometimes I don’t even know I’m making any sound, I’m just so wrapped up in Read more ›

It controls my clothes

You’ve heard about my beginning of the show ritual.  More accurately, you’ve probably just heard it. The show opens and I take to the mic to introduce the night’s program.  By rote, I say the same things to start every Read more ›

Climb on the back, I’ll take you for a ride

I hope you’re comfy enough when I take you for a ride each week. I like how you get all settled in after those first few moments of excitement…you can barely get into the show before you’re all worked up. Read more ›

The cats are stomping on their heels and toes

You know I’m always telling you about all the ways you take care of me.  And today I thank you for the way you take care of my feet. It doesn’t happen nearly often enough.  But when it does, I Read more ›

I know I like the touch that makes you glow

Remarkably it works every time. The show starts and within seconds we’ve made the connection and somehow manage to maintain contact no matter how long we go. Each flick of a switch seems sets you aflame, every nudge brings you Read more ›

Just me and you and the radio

It’s always just us.  And that’s how we seem to like it. Even with everyone else there, too, it still feels like it’s just you and me. I appear unescorted as I search for any discrete opportunity to remind you Read more ›

I dream and its got me scheming

I dream a lot. Sometimes it’s a simple dream.  A bubble above my head, a preoccupation with what we do together. Other times, it’s an all out fantasy of everything sensational and silly, a trance that transports me and seems Read more ›

I turn her right around and come in

I love it when I turn around and you’re right there. Ready. Ready with your retort.  Ready to circulate in the throng of Bubbles in the Think Tank Facebook Fans.  Ready to swivel to whatever silliness spins from my sensorium. And Read more ›
