CARTA Diaries: When I'm alone with you

Forget "Easy Like Sunday Morning" or "Mambo No. 5"—Lionel Richie and Lou Bega have clearly never taken the CARTA No. 4 at 1:45 on a Monday afternoon. I’ve written before about love on the bus, the kind of longing and sonnets and hope. This afternoon, however, I encountered love of a different sort—the kind where you mash your faces together out of the irresistible, intoxicating pull of having your special person just a few inches away, your elbows (and many other parts) touching as you are cradled in your individual blue plastic seats.

Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an circa-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, G-Dog (who is from New Canaan, CT) and a (possibly autistic) cat named Greta. Our daughter, Emmie, lives nearby, so she pops by regularly to amuse us and/or stir the pot.

I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. G-Dog and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.

This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, food I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read -- with a bit of politics thrown into the mix. I'm a slow food-loving locavore; I enjoy running, biking and hiking; make my own soap, moisturizers and household cleansers; and enjoy sewing, crocheting and playing with textiles).
