Yes, I have blogged about this before, and even then I was sure I’d posted prior to that. I’ve also mentioned that I am a terrible packer. And this trek will be shoved into carry-on only! I’m writing early so I don’t miss my blog post. It is NOT Monday morning yet, but I am

We heard the parade this morning as it marched by a couple of blocks from our house. I used to LOVE a parade. I haven’t been in many, many years. We decided to leash up the dogs and head over…unfortunately, by the time we got there, it had passed. We lamented about how close it

The Girl Beneath the Sea is an action/thriller, not one of the supernatural/sci-fi stories that I usually read, and it took me a while to stop waiting for something mystical to happen.

As in, I wondered how I could work these scientific details into a story! Every Tuesday for four weeks, my friends and I met

This novel is hard on the science, heavy on the fiction, so don’t get too caught up in the specifics, okay, and if you choose to read it, do so on audio–you will be glad you did. It was not at all the story I assumed it would be. Like, like, like! Full Title :

As I’m sure you know, I am an observer, a watcher, a witness to the weird. I had an experience last week that surely qualifies. Wednesday.Start our day, fridge works fine. Later, the fridge is being weird. The screen says 56, none of the options (ice, water, etc) are available, the lights in both refrigerator

Contemporary Relevance…the idea that a word, phrase, or cultural reference is no longer broadly understood. This subject has come up a lot lately. For instance, we were watching a show where they said, Kumbaya. With origins dating back to 1926, this word has come in and out of popularity with the meaning evolving over decades

That’s right! I’m jumping on the bandwagon! I believe my blogs should be part of your morning routine. Alas, only weekly, but there’re plenty to pick from if you’d like to make Blogdle-ing a daily event. I am an original UK Wordler (six tries, one word), a NYT Wordler (six tries, one word), a Nerdler
