Okay– in brief family news… We’re fighting off something. It’s got a headache and some body aches, but that’s sort of secondary. Mostly, it’s just… like a hideous bomb of tired that will go off at any minute and that we’re all surprised to get. It’s like, you get up, you get dressed, and then… Read More

There will be Hiding the Moon tomorrow, I promise, but in the meantime, I have a brief Geoffie story… So, every night when I sit and watch TV I tuck a pillow up behind my neck for comfort. Tonight, I was at my desk and Mate was still flipping through the channels and suddenly he said,… Read More

So, my day was very quiet and very very non-eventful! Good day to blog just a little bit of SunFish (as a reader is calling it!) Enjoy!

How do you feel about the game?” “Bruised. I feel… bruised. Went out to lunch, where Chicken got us an employee discount and she could… Read More

So, today I was supposed to meet with Ambrosia AND conference with my publisher, but both meetings fell through. I’ll be honest–I felt sort of at loose ends, especially because I was editing all day, and, well, boring! The funniest part of my day was when ZoomBoy discovered Green Day– and an album called Dookie…. Read More
