Apologies to my Canadian friends, but, BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry. *snort* I’ll be serious. *snicker* I had forgotten how much I love Dudley Do-Right, Snidely Whiplash1, Nell Fenwick and, especially, Horse. Why am I watching cartoons this morning, you ask? Well, *slurps coffee*, it’s because I got into a bit of a jam earlier this week…

Earlier essays and updates from our pre-remodel era—kept here for longtime readers.
Declaration of Independence
On this particular holiday, I’m just going to draw a clumsy analogy between the heroic decisions and actions of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America 240 years ago and the decision that K. R. Brorman, S. A. Young and I made about four years ago to publish our books independently, free of…
Weeds!
Cannabis is quite possibly the ONLY “weed” that does not grow in my garden. Weeds are, truly, the bane of my existence. (Check back with me after a mountainside of forest has shed its leaves and they’ve collected in my garden and everywhere but where they belong — on the forest floor.) I have filled…
Put A Fitness Tracker On It, Oh Oh Oh
This is Thursday, so I’m doing everything in my Activeweah. Worked out with my trainer, went to the hardware store, filled up the gas tank – made my pilgrimage to Starbucks with the puppies – will run into town after this blog post to pick up my farm-raised chickens that were still on the hoof…
You Know What We Need After The Last Several Days? Puppies
And I’ve got ‘em. After all the sadness, tragedy and horror of the past week or so, these puppies are my therapy dogs. Regulars around here know Fergus, my darling, wee mannie. Some may have even seen pics or videos including Fergus’ little sister, Sophie. Sophie is visiting this week while her mom travels, so…
Whip-poor-WILL!
I was driving home from town after dark last night and spooked a whip-poor-will off my gravel road. I breathed a small sigh of relief that it flew into the woods farther from the house. This guy likes to hang out around my house and garden and that is a problem. Not a particularly attractive…
Just Because You Can…
…Doesn’t Mean You Should. I’ve heard, said and thought that more times than I can count, followed closely by, “do you ever look in the mirror before you go out?” This post is brought to you by the young woman I saw this past weekend exiting Mecca Starbucks with a male friend. She was seen…
That I May Serve
Ut prosim [u̇t ˈprō-sim] – that I may serve. My point, more precisely is that we may serve. This isn’t about me, you see, it’s about how we pay it forward throughout our lives. I like to think we all do it in one way or many, sometimes perhaps without conscious purpose. Wednesday, a highly…
What a Character!
When we three started this collaboration to write, and publish, our novels, we had what we thought were pretty well developed characters and plots…silly to think so, as it turned out. At least for me. To be sure, K. R. Brorman’s and S. A. Young’s characters have matured since those innocent times, but they haven’t…
my life so far
