oh em gee, I needed that

So I didn’t even mention here, but I went away for a week. The kid, the roomie, and I all ran off to marvelous and beautiful Sedona. We got home today. I’m way tired because I drove nearly four hours, after getting up early and packing, and then unpacking and I’ve got laundry and the […]

The Road Goes Ever On and On…

“The Road goes ever on and onDown from the door where it began.Now far ahead the Road has gone,And I must follow, if I can,Pursuing it with eager feetUntil it joins some larger wayWhere many paths and errands meet.And whither then? I cannot say.” J.R.R. Tolkien† Always loved that poem. It’s especially apt now, as

Whoops, Sorry About That

Every time I notice that I’ve gone a week or so without blogging, I’m surprised. And then I’m not. For years I was a much more regular frequent blogger, but right now I’m 1) pretty busy and 2) talking about me in lots of other places. This one, for instance. Thanks so much to the

Busy, and More Busy on the Horizon

Busy, and More Busy on the Horizon

So it’s been a bit busy around here. Believe me, I haven’t forgotten my blog! I’ve just been doing other things. Like plotting my NaNovel. I’m looking forward to this–it’s a story I’ve been meaning to write for a while. And when I’m done–well, when I’m done maybe I’ll get on with some of these

WRONG on the Internet

WRONG on the Internet

I’ve been on the internet for a while now. Long enough to learn that most fights on the internet are not worth getting into. You see something stupid in the comments of an interesting article, you pass it by. Don’t read the comments. A few sites are exceptions, but mostly–don’t read the comments. No, in
