Nothing
I am sitting here staring alternately at the screen and the keyboard. I’ve got nothing. I want to write something, but there’s nothing in the tank. Rest assured, this is not a case of writer’s block. I’ve got lots of … Continue reading

It Strikes Me as Odd
It strikes me as odd that I should wake up three days in a row, in May, to snow. While I often revel in the idea of living in the Great White North, I do like my spring and summer. … Continue reading
Just Outside my Window
When I was writing yesterday’s blog in which I explained that I do not pay attention to weather forecasts, I managed to peek outside. The sun was out and it looked gorgeous. I didn’t exactly make plans to go bike … Continue reading
