I Do Love Gadgetry

I Do Love Gadgetry

Since my contract ran out with my cell provider, they’ve been desperate to “give” me a new phone to reward my loyalty. Mostly I’ve been ignoring them. The plan is to step down to pre-paid service, since I use my phone so very rarely. Sometimes I call my daughter, more often I send a text […]

Barry Manilow and Comfort Music

Go Ahead and Hit Me

Go Ahead and Hit Me

Tuesday I was stuck at the courthouse all day, waiting to see if I would serve on a jury. To insulate myself from boredom and also humans, I took a couple books. Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal, to practice my Spanish, the Da Vinci Code because I’ve been meaning to see just how Dan

KD Sarge Gives Unasked-For Advice

Just like the blog header promised… 😉 I have a headache that’s probably eyestrain and my mousing wrist is not pleased with me, but I finally got my writing advice posts back up over on my site. How to edit, combating writer’s block, getting to The End, plucking out your theme, outlining methods, gifts for
