Texas Snakes: A Field Guide arrived in the mail yesterday. I’m not going to add this one to the “In Progress” reading list. Nor do I think I’m going to read the entire book. I did thumb through it last night, looking at the pretty pictures and reading about “snakes … Continue reading →
I heard about the results of my MRI. The good news? No arthritis in my right knee. The expected news? A torn medial meniscus. The link has drawings and will probably tell you more than you thought you ever wanted to know about a meniscus, but I’ve had tears in … Continue reading →
I got 115 words yesterday — the first new words in nearly three months. Today! Today was another story. Words flowed. 2,281 of them. Nikki and Jeff are starting to be friends again. And things got steamy but not where you would have expected them to get steamy. Ah. Complications. … Continue reading →
Nothing special. I got up and walked the dog. Hershey loves walks, so it doesn’t hurt to start your day making a small, affectionate mammal happy. I dragged in the newspaper from the driveway and adjusted the sprinkler to cover as much of the front yard in one sweep as … Continue reading →

I’ll be more out of touch than usual for a few days. I’ll be back later Wednesday night. I hope you have a great weekend. I’m off to meet Ajax, the new kitten, before he gets big enough to bar me from the house.

Squeallllll!! (yes, that’s out of charcter for me, but listen…) My copy of Stuart MacBride’s Dying Light came in the mail today. (If you order via the Amazon link provided, you can get it direct from the UK instead of having to wait for the more expensive American edition to … Continue reading →
