Bringing Joy (Or, How To Survive At A Higher Altitude)
This weekend I’m in Woodland Park, Colorado, at a women’s conference. Today is the last day, but now that I’m mostly over the altitude sickness, I decided to get a coffee at the beginning of the day. And then I wasn’t allowed in the auditorium because the cup doesn’t have a spill-proof lid. Whoops. So…

Sitting, Wishing, Waiting
It’s amazing what happens when I don’t blog for almost a whole week. It’s like a whole week of life happens. Last weekend, my friend Rachel sold her books at SantaCaliGon Days in Independence, Missouri, and I volunteered to be the main helper. It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…

On The Road Again…
Last night, my best friend Rachel and I drove just over 3 hours to Hutchinson, Kansas, for Smallville Con to sell her books.

Another Con Bites The Dust
This year I went to the 24th annual PlanetComicon in Kansas City, Missouri. This was my third year in a row going, but my fourth time overall. The difference with this year and previous years is that, although I had my own 3-day pass as a regular patron, I helped my friend Rachel Newhouse with…

What A Dog
This week, I’m back with some dogs I watched back in September. Their people usually go out of town twice a year to see grandkids, so I can’t fault them for that. Plus, they’re one of the Exceptions to The Directive. Anyway, I really only brought them up because of something else I was thinking…

Oy Vey, Not Again!
I had every intention of yesterday being a perfectly normal Tuesday. And then the tickle in my throat wouldn’t go away and I got more tired than usual for the afternoon client. So I cancelled all evening plans (coffee with a couple of friends and a night of writing and cheering on my other writing…
