They tell me I am losing things. At first it started out small: a name here, a birthday there. Then the things got a bit bigger, somewhere in the neighborhood of where did I set my keys and where did I park my car. No one was too concerned. “Papa’s getting a touch forgetful,” as… Continue reading The Man in Apartment B

Hello, it’s me
Not sure that title has anything to do with what I'm blogging about today. In fact, what AM I blogging about today? *stops to ponder* I took a furry little someone to the vet. She was not happy. I had to lure Cricket into the crate with a treat; it worked--but I have a strong… Continue reading Hello, it’s me
Happy Birthday!–Belatedly
172 years ago January marked the birth of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. Here's a crazy-weird drawing I did of the man himself and...well, study for yourself and see if you get any references/symbolism. There aren't many, so you won't be studying long 😉
Mourning, Trailers, & Epiphanies
Earlier this week--Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!--I had an epiphany of sorts. Or, rather, TWO epiphanies. They are as follows: Epiphany #1: This actually was brought to my attention from a pal on Critique Circle (my online writing group.) I had posted that I was ashamed of myself for not getting any writing done on my novel… Continue reading Mourning, Trailers, & Epiphanies
Be the Change
A smart man--Gandhi, I believe...or was it Mother Theresa? Am too lazy right now to look it up. Anyway--A smart PERSON once said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." If you want to see more love, then LOVE. If you want to see more kindness, then get out there and work… Continue reading Be the Change

In the Sky With Diamonds
I know I've been posting only about cats lately on social media. There hasn't been much writing going on here. Still in mourning. But...BUT... I have started the process to adopt a kitten! She's a tabby who looks a lot like Chester, but the eyes are totally different (Chester's were green; Kitten's are yellow.) And… Continue reading In the Sky With Diamonds
Status: Mourning
Sorry I've been quiet here. Over the span of one week, I've had two cats die. The house is so quiet now, not an animal within petting distance. I've never been without a cat. Chester and Edwina were both wonderful cats. Chester was my graduation present back in '03. He helped me through the roughest… Continue reading Status: Mourning
Seasons Greetings!
Merry Christmas! Happy Chanukah! Happy New Year! Keep that pen on the page, Beth
Nothing to Say
I don't really have much to say this week, other than typing with a bandage on your left index finger is a real pain in the neck. Grr. Oh, and... In a Pickle is on sale for 99 cents for the rest of the year! So, yeah, if you're gifted an Amazon gift card for… Continue reading Nothing to Say
