I am searching for bookfairs to meet publishers, authors and editors. This one caught my eye today. http://www.buckeyebookfair.com/
Hooked!
Things I am hooked on at the moment. Cats, grits with lots of butter and salt, Japanese tv from NHK.org, songs from the 1930’s, the Military Channel, the Science Channel, TCM, jumping to conclusions, and having time to read, read and read some more. Oh, I am also hooked on drawing and writing always. Things […]Read Post ›
Today’s Cat Mews
Freckles loves drinking from the sink in the bathroom. At least, he loved drinking from the sink in the first and second place we lived. Those sinks were cat sized and the faucets didn’t scare him. My new place has a modern sink that drops down deep and a fancy faucet that scared the heck […]Read Post ›
Ships of State or Why the Titanic Sank
The Titanic had a lot of problems prior to hitting the iceberg. From faulty bolts holding the hull together to business pressures of making the best time. Small things like changing the speed of a ship on a shake down cruise add up. I thought about the Titanic today as I drove in to work. […]Read Post ›
I declare
Sometimes I think my cats are psychic. As I was writing my post about my cat, in he comes climbing on the back of sofa to get down onto my lap where I had my laptop. Amazing. Just when I am ready to count him out, he rallies like this. Just goes to show that […]Read Post ›
Asthma in the City
What the heck is the proper way to exit gracefully when I am having a full blown attack in the middle of a meeting with the speaker between me and the door? So far, all my answers to that have been to leave the room asap. Damn the torpedoes, the speaker, the conference and get […]Read Post ›

Hooked, Yet?
From blogging, texting and facebook, the inter-connectedness of the online world and people is amazing. I grew up hand writing thank you notes and letters to special friends. Our guilty pleasure back then was the telephone. You know, that plain, vanilla land line that no one had to call from after the earthquake. Yup, that […]Read Post ›
Flooding on top of Hurricane on top of Earthquake
Remarkable weather recently. Prepared but still awed by the intensity of the rain. I even have thought up a new word for these sequential disasters. Instead of the WP’s insipid Hurriquake which is backward, I called it the quak-hur. Although the Post probably thought of that and then decided it could have been a slam […]Read Post ›
Coolness in Cats
According to Animal Planet, shelters can evaluate cat personalities and then match them with adopters. According to me, cats are very honest creatures. What we see in the shelter may or may not be the cat you get when you bring him/her into your home. A shelter cat is stressed. The cats that can handle […]Read Post ›
