    Nearly a Grandma

    Welp. It’s finally here. The big one. The big “three-oh”, the age that media has taught me means I’m old, and society has marked as the beginning of the end.  Guys help, I’m thirty.

  • 2021 Goals

    I struggle with keeping resolutions. I know I can’t be alone in this. My writing group had a discussion about this recently. We were asked to share our writing-related goals for the group.

    Dad Stories No.1 : The Rowboat Story

    I called my dad today and had him re-tell his rowboat story that I mentioned in this post. I think it was built up in my head a little. He used to tell it to us when we were kids, and we found it very exciting. It’s not quite as good as I remember (sorry, Read more
