Renegade Robin2go

Maternal instinct.

By robin2go On May 12, 2013 · Add Comment

My house is quiet this morning as I sit at the table, contemplating the early sky through the window. Gentle tendrils of steam escape from my mug of coffee, the ceramic feeling reassuringly warm in my hands. Normally I’d be sitting outside on my deck, but this morning is still cool and the deck, unwelcoming. [...]

Go Robin, go.

This post originally aired on April 4, 2013 in the-fitness-blog-that-shall-not-be-named. For backstory, read Out in the open. I don’t think I can count the number of times I’ve tried to start an exercise program. Certainly more than all my fingers and toes combined. Even this year, despite my [...]

Out in the open.

On May 1, 2013 By robin2go

So, I’ve been cheating on you. Actually, I do it a lot. While Renegade is my primary site, I write in a number of blogs. I write at the studio for Firebrand, and I write my own knitting blog, I write for the Web Conference, and somewhere, hidden in the [...]

Archiving the twitters.

On April 30, 2013 By robin2go

One of the biggest drawbacks to Twitter’s success is that it has become almost impossible to go back and find that brilliant bon mot you vaguely remember coming up with, that one time, about that thing with that guy. When Twitter finally started rolling out the ability to download your own archive, I thought [...]

Cult of personality.

On April 18, 2013 By robin2go

I went out several weeks ago with a friend to attend a goodbye gathering for a someone we know who’s moving out of state. Other than the guest of honor and my partner in crime, I really didn’t know anyone, so I cozied up to my glass of pinot noir and watched the people [...]

Mad world.

On April 16, 2013 By robin2go

It’s 2:30 in the morning, and I can’t sleep. My mind still races. It’s filled with a kaleidoscopic collection of images and emotions and injuries and death. Some of it is Boston and today’s attack on the marathon. Some of it’s from my own memories of New York and the World Trade Center attack from a dozen [...]

Taxing.

On April 15, 2013 By robin2go

Truth be told, I hate April 15 with a passion. Mostly because I’m a procrastinator. In fact, right now, I’m struggling to get my extension filed, since things changed this year and we are going to need all the deductions I can pull out of my… pocket. And just as I start writing to whine about [...]

A taste of freedom.

On April 14, 2013 By robin2go

It’s early on a quiet Sunday morning, and the sky is starting to lighten with the dawn. A cup of coffee by my side, I’m reflecting on the long conversations only hours ago. Last night DangerBoy called from a hotel room during his 36 hour pass from Basic Training, the first taste of freedom [...]

Conflicted.

On April 12, 2013 By robin2go

I have a confession. I’m not the touchy feely kind of parent (shocking, I know). Long ago I learned that, in order to be a better mother, I had to go back to work so I could actually see that I was making some sort of forward progress on a daily basis (let’s face [...]

Guilty social conscience.

On April 11, 2013 By robin2go

Today’s Growl message reminded me about a friend’s birthday tomorrow. I haven’t seen her in ages since she moved away to teach in another state, so I thought I’d tweet out to her just because she was on my mind. Then I realized, in a moment of panic, that I didn’t remember her Twitter handle. [...]

You never forget your first mentor.

On April 9, 2013 By robin2go

Back in my reckless youth when I was newly out on my own, I lived in New York City. Few people realize I was actually born there, and it was the first time I’d returned to my birthplace, living in an apartment with a textile designer and an artist. I had leveraged my meager marketing [...]
