Update March 2025 Today is my younger daughter's birthday. We have been celebrating all week. She is launched and living on her own, even though she is a quadriplegic, but not too far away and we are in touch practically every day. We had a lovely brunch on Sunday with her
A character introduction Here is some writing about one of the lead characters in my novel, Artemis Faro. Artemis is a middle aged reporter at a local newspaper in a small midwestern town. She enjoys reporting and talking to the many contacts she has developed to write stories. She likes the pressure of
Breaking the Sound Barrier To catch up, I have just gotten over an intestinal illness (not a virus) and, as is so often the case, the cure was nearly as bad or worse than the disease. The meds I needed made me non-functional for nearly a week. Yes, it worked, my guts are better,
Featured Getting there.... Slowly but surely getting my feet wet in this medium. My younger colleagues (GenX'ers--not so young to some, but def to me, and some Millenials) know this about web design, HTML, posting, embedding, all things that are kind of foreign to me, a little out there. Even kind
Today's insights... Oh, friends, I haven't been feeling well. I don't want to get into the details, but it's a recurrent issue that I'm finally going to seek medical help for... Grrr... but that aside I did want to share that I have started
I'm here! After much seeking and finding, I have finally been able to connect my domain with my platform! Whoever thought we would need to know what these are or even what they do..... and why? I may be newer to this world, that others have grown up in, but there is
Getting it right Well, I'm still NOT getting it right. I have not been able to launch this site to the world and not being that tech-savvy, it's driving me a little crazy. So I keep asking questions... which is really the best way forward! Don't give
Sunday 1/14/24 A frozen day... very slow going on I-5; even the semis were minding their manners. Though I saw a few snow plows later, there really are very few in this county, since snow and ice are so far and in-between. There were a couple of spin-outs, but otherwise pretty calm.
Snow Day Today is the beginning of a national blizzard! Here in the PNW we are being snowed and iced in. Everyone is canceling appointments, meetings, even getting to the hospital is a challenge (just ask my daughter). The birds still keep arriving, though, especially since my spouse and I put up
Friday Jan 12 I haven't been able to get back here to spruce up this site as I have been working hard, writing my play! It's been through multiple iterations, but now has a pretty clear Step Sheet. I started the dialogue without it and it was starting to
The Next Day... So I've been trying to get all the deets together to create this website. It's pretty straightforward, but does require a little tech finesse. So it's pretty clunky right now. But I really am itching to get started. Or chomping as it were. Today
Getting Started So, I've been trying to get into the habit of writing daily. It's a pretty lonely job. And I am so easily distracted. Nothing like a creative project in the offing to help you get our house clean.... avoidance is king, even beyond entropy. I have
