Comic-Con 2009
Jul 27
So this week was Comic-Con time again and just like last year we had a great time. The thing that is so great about this event is the amalgamation of art work, great writers, screen stars and everyday folks gathered together to celebrate the arts. The highlight of this event for me this year was getting to go to the Ray Bradbury panel. Bradbury was a special guest at the very first con in...
Song by Allen Ginsberg
May 27
This made me smile today. For whatever reason, it just really summed up a lot of things for me. It’s been a tough couple of weeks. Work has been crazy, my friends are feeling pressure, I had food poisoning and I really feel just out of sync for some reason. It’s just those times that poetry does me the most good. It sweeps in and and lets me know that I’m not the only...
Kindle 2 Review
May 10
My Kindle 2 has arrived and I have to say, I absolutely love it! First impressions go a long ways and the packaging that arrived from Amazon was reminiscent of the many lovely gadgets I have opened from my good friends at Apple. Sleek black and white packaging with liberal usage of fonts to give it that literary quality. I immediately plugged in the Kindle 2 to charge. About 2 hours later...
Going Kindle
Apr 12
As many of you all know, I am an avid reader. As such, I am extremely emotionally attached to my books. They represent periods of my life, meetings with favorite authors, lazy reads on vacation, times of trouble, in essence… they are old friends. So what on earth has possessed me to go wireless with my reading habits? To be honest, I’m running out of room. There are piles of...

Click the photos tab on the top navigation menu. 2. Click on any photo I have included in a...
The Best Friend a Girl Ever Had
Dec 21
It was the summer of 1997 when he came into my life, the best friend a girl ever had. There were other little golden retriever bundles of joy at the breeder but the second he tumbled in my direction, tripping over his over-sized feet and rolled over on his back, I was captured. The breeder warned me that he had a bent tail from falling out of the birth canal and as a result he was the runt of...
Daddy’s Girl
Dec 20
Over the Thanksgiving holiday I went “home”. I put this in quotations, since like many of you out there, my parents are divorced and this sense of “home” has never been exactly the same. You see, I grew up in Florida and my family lives in Kentucky, which for those of you who haven’t been there is effectively another planet. It’s beautiful but definitely...
