  • Speaking Her Mind and other matters ...

    November 14, 2009

    • Goodness me, what a stormy day it is here in southern England - I hope you're all surviving the experience and keeping dry. I was foolish enough to venture out this morning for a paper and some lunch, and everyone seemed very bad-tempered. Must be the wind. As it were. I came home all peculiar and had to have chocolate to cheer up. Not much change there then.Anyway, to provide a moment of warmth ...
  • Dating in Mid-life: How to Measure Success?

    November 11, 2009

    • Re-entering the dating world after many years of coupledom is, well, odd.  When you first meet someone, you can feel the mental tape measures being whipped out. You're always wondering how you are measuring up.  Simultaneously, you are measuring up the other person.  It's like a garment workers' convention.When I was married, meeting new people was less complicated.  There was no ...

    October 26, 2009

    • Well my Sunday was better than my Saturday. I had breakfast, checked out and parked in the free parking garage across from the convention. So no worries about towing. (Throws a very pointed glance at the Publix supermarket lot behind the Hilton Hotel.) The voice acting class was awesome. Jeff had us do the old radio show reading/acting of "The Shadow," and I got to play Margo. I made ...

    October 23, 2009

    • I'm excited as can be. I am attending my first big writing convention and I can't wait! Necronomicon has been around for 28 years. I first heard of it in 2006 from fellow writer's workshop friend, Elissa Malcohn. I've been trying to get there ever since. Life kept getting in the way but this year I made a determined and aggressive effort to make sure I got all my little ducks in a row so that I ...

    • Let your dreams carry you into strange lands, for one never knows what treasures await.It seems my “to do” list grows evermore, but this is the stuff of life, and I accept the good, the bad and the ugly – though forgive me for hoping to find more of the former. I say “find” because our perception often dictates the results.My personal side has been challenging the last few months. Time ...
