You know you do it! Alice ain’t got nutthin’ on the time-wasting-warren found in Facebook quizzes. Hours spent having our “data analyzed”…. …to perfectly describe us in in the coolest possible way to strangers and family. Without this deep data mining and status analysis how would be know our life quote or spirit animal? I…

A Mountain Retreat
It’s time to get out the whiteboard! I get so excited when it’s time for K. R. Brorman, S. A. Young and I to get together for one of our sadly too infrequent writers’ retreats. It’s not easy for three very busy people, two of whom have large responsibilities to employers or family and family…
Executive Order SY101
The first Presidential Debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump takes place tonight. Frankly, I’d rather have my appendix taken out with a spoon than watch this sideshow, but watch it I will. It’s part of my civic responsibility as a member of a well-informed electorate. Riding to work this morning, I vacillated between looking…
A Simile By Any Other Name Would [Possibly] Smell
This is Saturday! Not only that, it’s my Saturday to find a topic related to our writing process to explore. I think K. R. Brorman and S. A. Young would agree with me that Saturday’s are getting tougher and tougher to drill down and unearth something to blog about that may hold your interest long…
Momma Sent Maters
And really cool tasty ones too! My tomato efforts have been a miserable failure this season. I’ve never been a Mrs. Mac Gregor by any stretch, but despite my neglect I’ve had respectable harvests. Could be JSB has a hidden green thumb and it’s been his “in residence” care that produced the bounties of Summer…
I Love Migraines … Said No One Ever
Today, class, we’re going to talk about migraines. Because I have one. Actually, I’ve been having one, or maybe it’s a series of them, for the past few days. I’ve lost track. I think it started Sunday. I knock one down and then another comes along. I blame ragweed. It’s ragweed season, as many of…
Get Yer Hot Mess Here!
Good afternoon and Happy Monday! I’m back once again to help you start your week, either with “no, it’s not just you” solidarity or by letting you feel good about the fact that your day is arguably better than mine. You get to decide. One of my goals in life is to become an “Organized…
Audio Addict
The first step is admitting you have a problem… Yeah….that’s not happening. In fact Audible was upgraded from one credit per month to three a while ago The app to listen is free..FREEEE! And it takes the tedium away from cleaning, weeding, driving & reinstated daily exercise.* Once upon a time, I made selections based…
What Happened Was
Last week I got on the bathroom scales for the first time in over a month. TEN pounds?? Is that right? Maybe if I step off and try again? I look in the mirror for a big arrow pointing to where exactly it is. Maybe, there’s something stuck to the bath towel…oh! SMH the towel! …
I Need A Vacation
Everybody feels this way. I’m not special. But, I have spread myself too thin – things, important things, fall through my cracks because I lose track of what day it is. I keep calendars – physical and virtual – and still I miss things. I just missed a conference call because I forgot this is…
