- I'm playing with some book proposals. Okay, I've really been working in earnest but "playing" seems like a better term for things that may never see the light of day. I'm not sure if this is just the usual insecurity between books or if it's the market. One of the books, I might add, has nothing to do with animals. That shouldn't be surprising for anyone who knows me well and knows ...

It's been quite a ride so far, and I am thrilled with the path ...

- Imaginem a minha situação: eu sou aquela mulher de trinta, solteira, que, por pura diversão (ou falta do que fazer), resolve viajar com os pais para a "cidade do pecado". Las Vegas, aí vamos nós. Enquanto separo as roupas para a viagem, visto algumas para ver se me caem bem em vou exibi-las ao papai. Com uma minissaia prateada, um top extravagante e uma sandália de salto, chego ...

- Unlike the several other creek valleys that run to the sea out of the coastal mountains in San Diego County, Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve is a rare patch of semi-wilderness where a year-round artesian spring has for about 6,000 years or so provided a ribbon of life.
