Welcome to another Merry Go Round Blog Tour Installment. This month we’re exploring our favorite writing places. Mostly, I write at the computer, but this year I’m focusing on revisions, and I’ve found handwriting my revision at the kitchen table to be more enjoyable than I had anticipated. Some … Continue reading →
This is the last one of these for a while. I jumped into the Way Back Machine and pulled up a photo from almost a decade ago. I had a little Logitech web cam I anticipated hubby and I might decide to use to talk live instead of over the … Continue reading →
Here are some more nostalgic shots. These are from my trip to Riga, Latvia, in September, 2004. I just returned from a deployment to Bahrain, and this NATO trip was on my schedule. I was preparing to move to a division chief job, so I was handing my old job … Continue reading →
