Babble

I forgot to categorize it. Might mean something. Probably doesn’t.

Duty

No, I didn’t get much writing done today.  But I did read Phoenix’s ms for her first book, and talk to her about where she went wrong.  (because I been there, done that, don’t take that how it sounds!)  and I supported my dear friend Bly, who was having a very bad day.  And I […]

The Family That Plays Together

My grandmother just called.  She wants me to come early tomorrow and see if I can help with the new computer.  “No problem,” I said.  I can usually figure the simple crap out, and I’ll be happy to help. “And,” says Hope when I reported the conversation to her, “if you can’t do it, Mommy,

I don’t know what was going on with Hope tonight, but sheesh!  Mean and spiteful backtalk, attitude and more attitude…she’d say she wasn’t trying to give me attitude, I’d tell her what I was perceiving as attitude, and she’d do it some more. She went to her room the second dinner was over, let me

My Letter

I wrote mine.  Your turn. Dear Representative Grijalva, GW Bush lied.  He doctored the evidence and he lied to take us to war, so he could give us Saddam when he couldn’t find Bin Laden.  He set up secret prisons, his vice president fought tooth and nail for the right to torture, and he went
