Welcome, Friends, to the first words I have written since last year's book post. This will also be a book post, but we'll get to that later. 2025 was a year, wasn't it? It was for me. Some good things happened, some not-so-good things happened (gestures broadly at the fall of our Constitutional democracy and … Continue reading Well. Here We Are. 2026. And Books!

As I promised yesterday, here is the post about all the books I read (or attempted in one case, and am still working on in another) in 2024. I've seen a few posts from others and discussed the numbers with some friends last night at a get-together, and all I can say is: How the … Continue reading The Books I Read in 2024

Yo, friends and readers. I know it's been awhile, and I totally dropped the ball on the whole I'll-post-more-in-2024 thing I said I was going to do. Stuff happened. Mistakes were made. But here we are at the precipice of 2025, and I find myself with a few things to say. PLUS, there WILL be … Continue reading Goodbye 2024

Pretend I said a bunch of stuff about how guilty I feel for not having written a blog post since like, February. When we last left our intrepid heroine (that's me. It's my blog. I get to be the Main Character), I was bitching about the abundant distractions that exist in our modern world and … Continue reading Moving On

Almost two weeks ago, I finally finished the second draft of Connections (or is it the first draft? I'm not quite sure. I wrote it, then rewrote it, so maybe it is the second draft), printed a copy (Office Depot, $45), and separated it into ten-ish-page chunks. As it turns out, I was just paving … Continue reading Driven to…Something

I know you all are shocked (and possibly awed, but that may be overkill) to be getting another post a mere nineteen days after the last, seeing as how my track record for new posts has been dismal since the Year of Our Lord 2021, in which my life totally fell apart and nearly every … Continue reading Handbook for the Single and Middle Aged

I'm going to resist the urge to make excuses about my utter lack of blog posting (August was my last post. AUGUST. Ugh). I don't believe in New Year's resolutions, but if I did, posting more often would definitely be at the top of that list. So I can't promise you I will post more … Continue reading 23 in 2023

Every weekend. Every Saturday morning I wake up and think, "I should really write a blog post this weekend." And you can see by the dearth of blog posts since APRIL that I never actually do it. It's the thought that counts, right? I could make a bunch of excuses, but as a sub-standard teacher … Continue reading YES. I KNOW.

Look, I don't want to get too ahead of myself, but the weather this weekend has been gorgeous, which may mean that northern Nevada spring is actually here, and it's quite welcome given the interminably long winter we've had. Seriously, it started snowing on New Years Eve and didn't really stop until just a couple … Continue reading It May Be Spring. And Let’s Make an Agreement, Okay?
