  • Coming soon…

    I discussed my blog with people at the writers’ conference last week. “I blog every Monday,” I bragged. But this is the second week in a row that Monday has been missed. Ever diligent, Tuesday it is. My head is aswirl with ideas to share! Too many, in fact, to do justice to any. While I

  • Uh-oh. I seem to be in a bit of a funk. I forgot to blog yesterday. Much like the Blackhawks forgot to defend. It’s cool. It happens. Not three games in a row. But, whatever. I remembered about 11:10 last night that I hadn’t posted my weekly Monday Blog. The game was not even close
