Taking a picture of your own arm tattoo doesn’t really work– But that’s what teenage sons are for! And other than that? Well, yesterday was a day of all good things that I wasn’t expecting. Wanna hear? Let’s see– good thing the first? I’ve booked a speaking engagement at the local library! Monday, May 18th,… Read More

Filking blogger…

Okay– I sat down last night to post an honest-to-blog blog, and the computer took a dump so I couldn’t. It was all about my hair cut (lots of hairs cut. Really short.)
