National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is just around the corner. Are you ready? Have you remembered to renew your information from last year? What are you working on? This year, thanks to Valerie, I’m doing a category romance. I haven’t done as much preparation as I’d hoped, but I have … Continue reading →
Last month, I mentioned R&R would be moving in December. My plan is to export from this blog and import to PolarBear60. The new URL will be: http://polarbear60.org/ It’s an existing underutilized blog, so a direct import of this blog to that one should work — I do plan to … Continue reading →
We lost Hershey in a driveway accident this afternoon. He got too close to the wheel as hubby was backing out. No external injuries, but Dr. Valerie diagnosed a broken pelvis (fixable) and a severed spinal cord just above the base of the tail (not fixable). She hoped the break … Continue reading →

Sometimes things turn up in the darnedest places. Late last fall, I purchased a fancy digital voice recorder in anticipation of perhaps dictating into it and allowing voice recognition software to translate my eloquent mutterings drivel into text. I haven’t had much chance to use it, but part of the … Continue reading →
Don’t worry, it won’t be before December. I need to clear the mercuryranch.org domain for other things. I have decided it will move to the PolarBear60.org domain. I use that as my Twitter name, and I’m known as PolarBear in several places on the web, so I think it’s a … Continue reading →
