  • Freeing Time

    I am cutting back on my obligations. I’m retiring from my voluntary career. After six years of dedication to In Print Professional Writers’ Organization, I’m stepping down.

  • It’s Monday?

    Oh shit, it’s Monday! I totally forgot… well, not so much forgot as did not think about it at all. It appears that my mind is at capacity. There is no room left for new thoughts—or even old thoughts. Or, it seems, even obvious thoughts. Of course it’s Monday! I could blame the holiday (Happy
