On the fourth day of Valentine’s, I thought I’d link to a few cool posts from some of the blogs that I follow: Pam Epstein is completing her PhD dissertation, about love and marriage from the mid-nineteenth to early-twentieth century in America. For her research, she’s looking at old newspaper personal ads, and sharing some […]

Just before my 15’th birthday, my father attended a weekend business meeting at a small college in Utica, NY, and the whole family came along for a weekend road trip. Hung up on a girl I had met in school, before I had left for Utica, she and I argued. Words were spoken. Angers flared. […]

Usually, for Teaser Tuesdays, I follow accepted practice and post a couple sentences from a book I’m currently reading. But I’ve always been a rebel, and I don’t see why I should change now.

The Little One (our resident artist) doesn’t know I’m posting this, but I don’t think she’d be upset. She got some white soap at the drug store, and carved it and colored it, as a gift for Mommy. I remember when I was a kid, buying (or making) and giving away Valentines to all my […]

I’ve been enjoying them on DVD, and she both startled and thrilled me when she started enjoying the show right alongside me. I panicked just a little when—right in the middle of a Borg marathon—she asked to […]

I agreed to get ahold of a copy of a book written by a fellow-author, and the only place I could get one was from Amazon. That left me with a bunch of dollars left over to spend in order to get free shipping. So I used the excuse to load up on Holly Lisle […]

I got a wonderful email this week from Carrie L., who just recently read Love through the Eyes of an Idiot, my short, romantic memoir about YA angst and unconditional love. Carrie’s email I just had to share. (With her permission, of course.)

Just a quick video post today… This was too cute. We have a fresh-water turtle, a red-eared slider, which we’ve raised from a tiny baby. Back then, he lived in a small tank, about the size of a fishbowl. Now, he’s outgrowing his grown-up-sized tank, and we’re thinking he may need an even bigger one. […]
