Welcome back for another installment of the Merry-Go-Round Blog Tour. I hope you’ve been staying hydrated as you make the rounds (or, if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, staying warm). This month I’m supposed to reflect on what I do best as it relates to writing. I’ve been told I … Continue reading →
Here’s an item I don’t need anymore but am not sure how to find a new home for it. My dial Snoopy phone. The story behind this phone should be amusing. I was nineteen. Living in a three-room cabin in Western Massachusetts with no indoor plumbing, no running water, electricity, … Continue reading →
