What Age Are You Meant to Be?
I read an article a while back about how each of us has a certain age that we were born to be. This is the time that we are most ourselves, happiest, the best years of our life. For some people those years were in high school. Perhaps they were a cheerleader or football hero […]
Read MoreDrowning in Details
I’ve been drowning in details this week, details associated with self-publishing as well as the details that are part of everyday life (feeding the dog, laundry, groceries, meal prep and dishes). As I’ve been preparing to publish my next novel, I’ve been busy going over the copy-edit numerous times, making changes suggested by my editor […]
Read MoreWe Don’t Know What We Don’t Know
When it comes to technology, I don’t know what I don’t know. I can’t even ask the right questions because it takes some knowledge to do this. I recently watched a young friend as she copied a piece of video, saved it to my computer then compressed it into a zip file so it didn’t […]
Read MoreRemembering 9/11
It was a beautiful evening last Saturday. My husband and I were taking our puppy, Seamus, for a walk in the neighborhood before the Michigan State football game. Our plans were to relax and watch the game after tiring Seamus out with a walk. We were talking, enjoying the moment when a hundred pounds of […]

Read MoreNew York and Antigua – A Study in Contrast
We arrived in Antigua on a sunny, Sunday afternoon. Because I had just flown in, I didn’t have any Guatemalan currency, waiting to exchange money at a bank where the rate is better. But I had my trusty credit card to pay for dinner. We dined in a lovely restaurant, surrounded by a jungle of […]
Read MoreThe Price of Being Boring
Advertising is the price of being boring, Rob Eager of Wildfire Marketing posted last week. If you are not boring you get all kinds of free word of mouth advertising. The rest of us have to pay dearly for such advertising. We are fascinated by people who live exciting lives, using and abusing drugs, living […]
