Survived SNOWPOCALYPSE by, basically, staying inside as much as possible. Ursa did not get a walk one morning. We paid our neighbor $20 to do the walk up to our front door (he has a snowblower, and we don’t.) My flight was canceled and rebooked automatically for…
Ursa was parked at the Barking Lot over the weekend. She got a bath before we picked her up, and this is what we found. A bandanna. Greg was beside himself, such a sport-utility dog (SUD) thing to have happen to our good-girl. But I think it’s…
Was cranky in my last post. Could you tell? I’m currently sitting in front of a hockey game, in overtime, but don’t be impressed. I’m mostly waiting for it to be done so I can write a bit more before bed. REVISIONS!(should be sung to the tune…

Sunday morning. Have had tea and muffin (OK, two muffins) for breakfast. And now— Writing. That’s all there is right now, when I’m not working. I should weed the front yard. I should clean out my closet and put away the pile of clothes on the guest…
Speaking of good ol’ Roosevelt, I’m in the next alumni magazine in a story about my program, but they published the part about me as a news story here. It’s mildly horrifying to read words you’ve said quoted back at you. Yep, that’s what I said, but…
My news is that my short story, “Layers of Love,” (originally titled “Trifles”) is the grand prize winner in the very first short story contest held by GOOD HOUSEKEEPING. (That link is just the announcement of the contest. Was hoping GH would put something up on their…
