Kitten still doesn’t have a name, but she’s content to sleep on my chest. (Yes, I had to move her shortly after I took that photo — my hand went to sleep.) Or under a heater. Or behind the trunk. Or nearly anywhere. I think she may have a touch … Continue reading →
For the second year, we set up at the Giddings Auto Swap Meet this past weekend. It’s a fun little meet, and we found new homes for stuff we didn’t want any more, and people paid us to take it away. We bought four spaces — one space for each … Continue reading →
Get out of the way, Tarzan. I’m going to write this. (Hiss! Slap! Slap!) (Meow.) They’re gone. We have the house. All except Rossie. They took her with them. Ajax, stay out of my way. I’m writing this update. *Grrrrr.* Oh. Fine. You go ahead. Move along. Nothing to see … Continue reading →

The subject of streaming TV came up. I have largely dismissed streaming television for two reasons. First, I have a 250G per month data cap on my internet connection. I have no idea how much I use, and I can’t find a meter anywhere on ATT’s site. I’m confident it’s … Continue reading →
Our topic for this month is “what lessons I’ve learned from other story-telling genres.” Ummmmmmmm. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. I haven’t a clue how to discuss this. What are other story-telling genres? Video? Audio? Verbal? Generational? Correspondence? Email? Text message? Anecdotal? I have tried to incorporate some of those methodologies into my writing. … Continue reading →
