Per Melly‘s suggestion, I’m cycling through my WordPress themes to see which ones you guys like. Please vote in comments whether you like this one or the bears better. I’ll leave it up until tomorrow night, when I’ll change to a different template. If there are features you prefer, drop … Continue reading →
I haven’t said much about it, but I’ve been following the auctions for Larissa Ione. I don’t know Larissa, but she and her family lost almost everything in Hurricane Katrina. For someone I don’t know, her paths cross mine in several places–she’s an Air Force veteran, a writer, she loves … Continue reading →
I had my six-month follow-up for my PRK surgery yesterday. Everything’s fine. My vision is still 20/20, and the doc confirmed my over-the-counter +1.25 reading glasses are the correct strength for my eyes. Interestingly, she also confirmed that she can tell by my optic nerve that I was very nearsighted … Continue reading →

Continue reading →I pulled out “the next 20k” of Twilight revisions tonight and began typing in the changes I identified. In the first nine pages, I cut 50 words. I also noticed I use a lot of “some.” I’ll look for those little gems and begin eliminating them. I’d say that’s a … Continue reading →
No, you haven’t heard much from me since the Spurs won the Championship. It’s been too darn hot in Alabama, so I headed North. Way North. She seems to have been having trouble remembering to lock doors lately, so I had to come back to guard the house for Her … Continue reading →
I spoke to my brother tonight. His house is one mile inland from the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Pascagoula. He had 22 inches of water in his house. He has telephone, water, sewer, electric, and cable TV (but no internet yet) back in service. He didn’t have mud to shovel … Continue reading →
