I was thrilled to receive an Advance Reading Copy of Tamara Siler Jones’s upcoming release, Valley of the Soul. I read the accompanying letter that arrived in the package. The surprising words, “This final Dubric Byerly blend of fantasy…” gave me pause, and I remember thinking, “I hope it isn’t … Continue reading →
Has anyone seen the new iPod nanos? They have a new anodized aluminum casing. They come in 2, 4, and 8G models. The 4G models come in several cool colors–I’m partial to anodized aluminum and blue, but you could fall in love with hot pink, a bright green, or basic … 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.

A new perk at my job is the opportunity to study languages using the online software Rosetta Stone. I figured I’d give it a try and signed up for an account. I’m not good with languages (despite a reasonable grasp of American English). I have 3/4 of a year of … Continue reading →
This week, the knee feels better than it has in over a month. Stairs aren’t my favorite thing, but I could walk up and down them today without heavily supporting myself with the handrail. Still a little clunky when I’m bending the right knee to step down, but it’s getting … Continue reading →
