This Appears to be My Week For Attention…

…and I’m basking in it. Grapes, more grapes please. And could you bring me some chocolate also? No, I prefer red wine, thank you. A foot rub would be nice. And there’s a wee little sore spot on my back… No, I guess its not that kind of attention. Damn. But this kind is just […]

Stop The World, I Want To Get Off

I don’t really, but remember that old movie? Or was it a musical? Or just a joke? I don’t know, I think it was a little before my time, but it is such a great sentence. And it kinda describes how I feel today. Or how I felt this morning. I’m feeling better now, having […]

It is September 11, Do A Good Deed Today

Wait, what? It is September 11, isn’t it a day of gloom and doom? Not anymore. There’s a movement afoot to make this day, the anniversary of one of the worst days in our nation’s history, into something positive. The idea is to focus on the humanitarian outpouring that followed the September 11th attacks, not […]

What You Don’t Know About Me

Nina, the wonderful author of Darwin’s Paradox, and the blog The Alien Next Door, tagged me for a meme, on eight random facts about me. You really sure you want to go there? Well, alright. If you insist. Here goes: 1. I am the proud mother of the largest pug in the world. I’m not […]

Be Kind to Editors and Writers Month

I love when this happens. Here I’ve been up to my elbows in an assignment all day–all flippin’ day–worrying about neglecting semi-important things like grocery shopping, and really important things like my blog, when in pops this press release into my inbox. (Are there enough "ins" in that sentence for you?) And now my worries […]

Another Great Blogger

One of the things I am consistently amazed about is how positive and supportive the blogosphere is. Over and over again, I meet other bloggers who are willing to go out of their way to help each other. The best community, as far as I am concerned, is Blog Catalog, but there are plenty of […]

Writing Exercise: The DaVinci Device
