NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 5: GCLS Behind the Scenes
As you can tell from the title of this blog and from the month of the year, I participate in National Blog Posting Month in November. This is my third year participating. Many of the people I know do NaNoWriMo – National Novel Writing Month – in November. That’s awesome because, well, they are writers.…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 4: Let’s get organized. What time is it? What DAY is it?
I spent a great deal of the day thinking it was Thursday. Still. Then I got on the Friday bus and got my act together. Yeah. Kidding. I accepted the Fridayness of it, but getting my act together is never a guarantee…no matter the day of the week. Back when I was working, I was…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 3: It’s all about the Sportsing!
If you saw my post from yesterday or if you’re in the US or if you have a Facebook account or if you have a Twitter account or if you pay any attention at all to the world, you are very likely aware that the Chicago Cubs won the World Series. If you weren’t aware of…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 1: Look out! It’s November!
That’s right, kids. It’s November and that means it is National Blog Posting Month. And that means I will be challenging myself to post a blog every day for the month of November. My friends do NaNoWriMo, I do NaBloPoMo. (That didn’t sound quite so naughty in my head.) I tend to start the month with…

Just when we thought it was safe to forget algebra…
I was at the convenience store up the block earlier today. I’m a “loyalty” member there and I’d earned a free coffee – any kind, any size. But, I don’t drink coffee. So, I turned and shouted to everyone in the store, “Hey! Who wants a free coffee?!” A couple of people looked at me…

REVIEW: “Just Three Words” by Melissa Brayden
I’ve been pretty busy for the past year or so. My Board obligations with the Golden Crown Literary Society have kept me hopping. Because of this, my time for reading books and reviewing them has been cut pretty substantially. But, I am determined to get back on track and caught up! That said, I decided to…

REVIEW: “Firework” by Melissa Brayden
The drive between Chicago, IL and San Diego, CA is a long one. Quite a bit of that journey is spent in very wide-open spaces – plains, prairies, deserts. There’s not a lot to see, really – particularly if one has traveled that route multiple times. So, I’m really glad that I had some audio…

Review: “Starting From Scratch” by Georgia Beers
I initially read this book in December 2012. It was about one month after my mother passed away. I didn’t write a review at that time. I couldn’t. (If you’ve read the book, you know why. If you haven’t, you will.) It did not mean that I didn’t like the book. That’s so far from the…
