There are so many places I’ve never traveled to. There are few places I can think I’d never want to visit, one of which would be somewhere without an indoor washroom. My kids will attest to the fact that I typically don’t go … outdoors, and will travel miles to find indoor plumbing. My youngestContinue reading “No place I wouldn’t go… maybe”

Embarking on something new
While unemployment continues to be the norm, I decided to try my hand at voice-over reading. I’m attaching an MP3 file in SoundCloud of the Introduction to a book I’m reading. If anyone has suggestions, please feel free to reach out through the contact me page.
Prompt: What would your Wiki page say?
The thought occurred to me today, as I’m preparing to write a memorial article, and also piecing together a biographical work, that so often when I Google something the first thing that comes up is a Wikipedia page. As a journalist and a biographer, I know better than to use Wikipedia as a primary sourceContinue reading “Prompt: What would your Wiki page say?”
Jumping off the roller-coaster… or adding a twist.
The last five days have been a roller-coaster ride. I was laid off from a job I loved in the middle of the week, and although what I heard was, “it’s not your fault,” and “there’s nothing you did wrong.” I still have to go through the grieving process, and have spent more time analyzingContinue reading “Jumping off the roller-coaster… or adding a twist.”

She’s Two
Though we hoped it wouldn’t happen, we were suddenly faced with keeping a 2-year-old for what has become an indefinite length of time.
Millennial Assistance?
One of the advantages Millennials have is that they were raised with technology. I was not. My first exposure to computers – and I am dating myself – was in high school. They weren’t the laptops, tablets, and computers we carry around in our pockets. They were behemoths of wiring with black screen CPUs andContinue reading “Millennial Assistance?”
New Year’s Resolutions
Honestly, I don’t like making resolutions. It’s too easy to get caught up in the idea that I have to change something I’m doing and report it, then when I fail to do whatever it is for even one day, that resolution is broken. So why write this then? I’m heading into the last quarterContinue reading “New Year’s Resolutions”
