Oh, dear. I was writing along this morning and realized I needed to make a map. I have a fictional town, and I don’t know where everything is. I have a general idea, but now I need specifics. I know my real and on-line friends have resources for this. Off … Continue reading →
No. National Novel Writing Month is still thriving. In this case, the 2G iPod nano my hubby found on the ground last Thanksgiving is giving up the ghost. It’s stuck on the Apple screen and emitting a high-pitched sound. I hope the battery dies before it either explodes or bursts … Continue reading →
I found the recent comments plug-in. Now if I could just figure out exactly where to input my server name to keep my own trackbacks out, I’d have it made. I know it is ridiculously simple — I’ll play with it another time. Or better still, if I could learn … Continue reading →

A quick check of Akismet before pressing “delete all” reveals it’s a pharmaceutical night. No surprises there. Unlike me, Carter doesn’t like to post when he has nothing to say. Of course, finding out that if you were a planet, you’d be Pluto, which recently lost it’s planet status, could … Continue reading →
What’s happening for you this week? Me? Lots of stuff happening at work keeping me on my toes, but the knee is doing much better as of. I suspect it will be in what I call “roller coaster” mode for several months. That means it will alternate between feeling good and … Continue reading →
