I had a really, really hard time getting this post started. The reason for this was that the Subject Matter of this entry kept wanting to snuggle. Now she’s all crashed out at the opposite end of the couch so I’m taking the opportunity while I can get it. At the start of this year,…

2015, Adieu
Wow. I wrote a whopping eight blog posts this year. There are myriad reasons for my ongoing silence. The biggest one is that I spend every day in this high-intensity situation and by the time I get home I have no desire to look at another computer or exert the extra energy toward another obligation….
Katrina: The Big One-Oh
Saturday mornings are a quiet realm in my neighborhood. Well, early Saturday mornings are. I woke up at 6:30 a.m. today and couldn’t go back to sleep, so I’ve been porch-dwelling for an hour inside this cocoon of silence. Watched the sun rise from behind the Bald Cypruss tree that has, now, swallowed my front…
Dropped and Found
Caution: Contains Profanity. Artistically. So here’s the game: You follow @NO_FREE_ART on Twitter and Instagram. Set it up on Twitter so that they’re one of your favorites, and you’ll get notifications on your phone when they post something. When they make a Drop, they post a photo of a piece of art created by one…
My Sweetest Toby
My Sweetest Toby, We had so much fun together over the years, didn’t we?? All the camping, and the tousling and the tug-of-wars and treats. And the snuggling, all the snuggling! You were such a complete part of my every day world. My day began and ended with you, all the timez. We walked together…
Mardi Gras Part 1: Delusional!
Well, hello there world! Greetings from the other side of Mardi Gras.

I’m not laughing because it was ridiculous or otherwise laughable. I’m…
FYC is THREE!
My goodness. I just realized. January 5, 2012. Denver. Snow. Desire to DO SOMETHING of my own. Saving to move. Craving to write. I can’t believe that was three years ago, already. What a wild ride it has all been, since. Thanks to all of you who have been Reading this Ride. For THREE YEARS. …
Faire Days, Part 2 (Wherein the Elves Arrive at Albright)
Given my experience with Ren Faires and both my and J’s proclivity for spending time at them, we didn’t stop at paying one single visit to the Louisiana Renaissance Festival last weekend. Oh, nay. We could no more go to only ONE day of a Faire, than we could show up at one dressed in…
Reunion
I usually have a rule for myself, of not posting more than one blog entry in a day. I’m breaking that rule today to get the following out, because I’ve been sitting on these emotions for weeks and…it’s just time. More about my crazy month-and-a-half will follow in a more regulated fashion. ***** I’m glad…
