It dawned on me yesterday, as I was standing in the book department at Fred Meyer. If I really want to make money writing, I need to write a romance novel. Do you know how many romance novels there are out there? It’s the biggest section at Freds, and at the bookstore. I’m not even [...]
I’d forgotten this book until I saw it recently. It was another childhood favorite of mine, but I don’t have the vivid imagery from it that I do from Alice. I think the childhood attraction centered around the idea of a “secret” anything – I had about a billion “secret” forts and hiding spots on our ten acres. Garden didn’t intrigue me quite [...]
It’s Saturday. I’m taking a day off. My article on geocaching with your dog has been published in the July issue of “Dogs in Canada”. I get paid for that article. Somehow, in my mind, that makes me officially a writer. Perfeshional and all. So that means I can take days off if I want [...]
I’m the featured blogger at girlgetstrong.com today. I believe they’re running the “Underwires” blog from awhile back.

Dear Mr. Hitchcock:

The whole concept of “A Clean Desk is the Sign of a Sick Mind” thing has always intrigued me. Of course, it’s just an excuse for a messy desk, but sometimes I wonder. I never have managed a clean desk. Piles of paper, the odd shoe, random notes tacked to [...]
My tolerance for t.v. in general and reality t.v. in particular is swimming in the dark frozen depths of the Marianas Trench. A cold, black world, filled with unlikely looking creatures. Some of the visuals are so grotesque, you can’t take your eyes off them. Others amaze you with their sheer ability to survive the [...]
I just want to take a moment to say Happy Father’s Day to my dad. I don’t get to see my dad as much as I would like. I’m at the point mentally now though where I should be able to make that trip on my own, so I’m looking forward to having a visit [...]
