It’s blowing out there right now. Gusty. And the rain should be here any minute. Gonna be a cold, dark day tomorrow…and I’m here for it. Helps me with the writing. Writing was better today! I’m six pages in. Should be 12, but that’s okay. I’ll find time to make it up...

We’ve got the Coops established at a new vet. Woohoo! It’s a doctor we know and love from his old vet—which shuttered a few weeks ago, much to our surprise; they didn’t even inform us—and, even better…it’s ten minutes from our house. Extra Woohoo! Bit of a swing and a...

Happy Birthday Tilde! We spent the day with the Kings. Pho, then the tail end of a Famer’s Market, then presents (so many presents!), then pie. Twas a wonderful time, and I’m so glad we all got to do it. Did my writing—still got a decent amount of outlining to do for...

King John is a mess of a play. I actually have a hard time believing that Shakespeare wrote it when they say he did, or even that he originally wrote it in the first place, just because there are so many narrative missteps and clumsiness that I can see he’s already...

Busy, busy Friday. Whew. I was up on time at 7 this morning and was able to get my outline off to my cowriter…hope he likes it. There are still a few things left to fill in. Didn’t quite finish it, but the story is all there. I honestly got much further than I was...

Getting work done on the house always zonks me out. And I mean other people working on the house. I just get physically tired, a good kind of tired, when I’m doing work myself…but if it’s other people, it really spaces me out by the end of the day. Still had a very...

Sheesh. It’s already bedtime. Work was busy today. Which was stressful because we had the pups going to a new vet all the way out in Thousand Oaks for teeth cleaning. Joy is 11lbs, my little baby chonker. Actually, 11 is fine for her, I think. But she is so tiny, we...

The traffic to this little website has dramatically increased lately, and I don’t know why. Like, here’s the thing, guys…save for a dedicated few who just wish to keep up with me because they know me, I don’t see the appeal of these daily blog entries for the masses....

This evening’s fine distinction is “convince” versus “persuade.” You convince someone to believe something. You persuade someone to do something. So, you convince someone of the existence of God, and then you persuade them to go to church. The book goes on to point...

Fine distinctions are back! Tonight, it’s a pretty easy one, I think: Sorbet versus Sherbet. Sorbet is non-dairy. Sherbet may add up to 2% milkfat. This is what I found the book pointed out that was interesting, though: sherbert, with that “r” so many of us pronounce...
