Click to enbiggen Carmi says that the theme for this week’s Thematic Photographic is “Night,” so I’m offering this picture of the moon taken from my back yard near Dallas just as Hurricane Ike was ripping Galveston apart, and just before I fished the frog out of the pool. Fuzzy had the good camera in [...]

I like folk music. Partly, this is because I grew up with parents who were activists, and partly it’s because I love stories, and storytelling is a key element of all music, but especially folk music. Every month, the local UU church hosts a coffeehouse evening – there are homemade baked goods and fair trade [...]

My muse has gone missing. I can’t find the voice for anything I want to write. My novel won’t talk to me, my blog is taunting me rather than being an outlet, and in recent days I’ve taken to spending huge chunks of time doing anything but being near the computer. Yesterday, for example, I: [...]

I have my grandfather’s stubby fingers, and my nails break if I breathe on them the wrong way. While I still own a cello, [...]

This isn’t an essay length piece, just bloggeries I’d ordinarily have tweeted, or compiled into something in paragraph format. – Since washing my indigo-streaked hair is staining my finger tips lavender these days, I opted for a modification to my traditional French manicure at the pedispa today. The main part of the nail is still [...]

I skipped merrily over Media Monday because I was in a writing mood, not a video mood, but my good ‘net friend the Archangel Robriel at LJ posted this, and because I’m all about sharing the love (in this case literally) I’m passing it along.

Bobbi honored me with the above award, and, as per the rules, I’m passing on the appreciation to ten of the bloggers whose work I enjoy. They’re listed in alphabetical order, because I’m silly that way, and for a change I’m not offering commentary. Explore, if you will. The Goat Rodeo Gold ‘n’ Purls Living [...]

MissCleo, sitting in the dining room window, wanting nothing more than to go outside. Sadly, it was cold and wet that day.
