I got one helluva souvenir in Vegas.
I’ve got my pin-up girl hairdo happenin’, and I’m off to the wilds of Las Vegas to chill for a few days. I’ve left kitty and the plants under the watchful eye of Dystopia, and warned the very sweet landlord he may see a girl covered in stage blood and/or zombie make-up, but not to [...]
We must catch up.
My grandfather is back in the hospital, or he has been in the hospital for a few days and when we know the exact cause of his symptoms, we can decide how to proceed with his healing. Until then, we wait. When he was admitted to the hospital a few weeks ago, [...]
With my love of books, writing, reading, finding the celebratory nature of things, and warm weather, is it any surprise I do so enjoy a nice literary festival (or founded one)? I think not. In many an interview, I’ve referred to literary festivals as “gold” and a couple of weeks ago, this article in The [...]

So, this is fun, if you will be so kind as to note the photo credit at the upper right. Remember the day I took that photo? I sure do! Oh, NOLA, I’ll come visit you again soon. (Nobody freak, I’m not moving. I have much to do in Chicago for quite a while.)
My brother is a photographer, and a great one at that, but randomly, a travel guide, Schmap, found one of my photos in Flickr of New Orleans and wants it use it. Hey, by all means. How very unexpected!
In other news, I am flying through my To Do list this weekend and happy as a [...]
Home from that Omaha and it’s a regular love-fest with Chairman Meow. What a sweet kitten. I had a wonderful weekend in Nebraska. The drive out on Friday was forch, the wedding on Saturday was lovely and festive, the reception was fun and social, brunch this morning with the Omaha Lit Fest crew at my [...]
