My Talking Place

Wow.  I haven’t blogged three times in one day since…well, I don’t think since right after Chris died.  I blogged an awful lot then. It’s 2230.  I just chased Hope to bed for, I hope, the last time.  She’s determined she’s going to meet Santa.  I’m determined she’s not getting out of that bed again. […]

Christmas Eve

What a washout.  I accomplished nothing today, not even clearing the kitchen table for my editing.  Can’t even pretend to have tried… I’m sick.  I’ve got a cold, and all I’ve done today is blow my nose, read On Writing, and take a couple naps.  Both of which Hope woke me from.  Grr. If I

Old Home Week

I don’t know what that means, exactly.  But I’ve heard it said many times.  Usually on the appearance of someone who doesn’t belong wherever they are anymore. On past grading days, I’ve come in late, in order to avoid the mass of people hanging around talking, so I could get some work done.  This time
