So a few weeks ago, my hubby says to me, “Looks like it’s getting warmer.”
I says, “Yep.”
He says, “Nice days again. Sunshine. Washing the car. Going to the park…”
I says, “Yep.”
He looks at me. “You know what that means, right?”
I look at him. “Nope.”
At this point, his mouth goes into super slo-mo, and I can [...]

I know I’ve read Gedge before. Gedge is known for writing Egyptian stories (even her scifi story “StarGate” has an Egyptian bent). Some years back, I read her House of Illusion. It was an okay story, not really memorable. Her older book, The Twelfth Transforming I think I would remember far, far more.

On Friday, I didn’t feel any older. Maybe it’s because I’ve been thinking that I was 36 already that when my birthday actually came, it was all moot. I think [...]

My Easter was pretty much standard as holidays go. Go to church, go to relatives, eat a big supper, take a nap while the boy runs amuck, trusting [...]

This morning while I was cleaning, the song “So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star”, the version by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, came on the radio, and I thought to myself, You know what I haven’t seen in a while? The Steven Banks Show.
Now why would I think that? Well, those [...]

Yesterday I read a blog article on Dealing with Disappointment from the Urban Muse, which was being featured on The Writer’s Block Carnival. Although the Urban Muse has it geared towards freelance writing, I could totally understand where she was coming from.

Being April 1st, I had a joke all set up for today. Had it all planned–was going to turn the Cafe into a squirrel’s paradise. All squirrels, all the time. I had pictures of squirrels doing all sorts of tricks, water-skiing, wearing little crochet hats. I was going to replace Daniel’s Word of the Month [...]
