• Norwescon report

    Norwescon is a terrific con. It’s got great costuming, a lovely art show, a nice dealer room, and tons of variety in activities. I made no parties. They get too loud for me. I got in on Thursday and immediately…

  • The day is long

    Got up at early dark thirty and took the boy for his test in Portland. He got me up twice last night to let me know that he’d been sick, poor kid.  The traffic was more obnoxious than I hoped…

  • Bad movie watching

    Watched Pitch Perfect. Far more bad language than anticipated, but the girlie loved the music and dancing and there were some moments of fun. Watching Battleship now. Same thing. Moments of fun, lots of action, and humor. Good cast. Not…

  • storytelling

    I read this book yesterday. It was light paranormal fantasy with some romantic elements or hints of it. It was terribly flawed, yet I read to the end, eager to see what happened and why. I think I’ll be reading…

  • Aggravation

    Today I had an absolutely lovely day. Took girlie shopping and we had a lovely outing until . . . I had to go into Costco to get another prescription for boy (his nausea medicine) and a few other things.…

  • A snippet for you

    The boy barfed up a ridiculously expensive pill tonight. Nuff said on that. And now for a snippet. This is from my nameless novella, and I have not written any words on it for awhile. Same as my other work.…
