No, those are not homicidal maniacs. The police were not called – and they surely don’t let you have weapons in mug shots. Even the paper towel “doo rag” is not very realistic, particularly on a 51 year old suburban engineer who is just trying to get through MOVING DAY! (I think he was actually […]
“Good morning, little Dixie. Let’s go make a pee pee!” “Yeah, why don’t you go make a pee pee?” I love Mommy, but when she sticks her big head in my crate in the morning and takes off my nice warm blanket – that I worked to get PERFECTLY wrapped around my body – I […]
At 46 I am past my childbearing years, especially since I had a hysterectomy almost 4 years ago. That lack of uterus is the pesky detail that slammed the door shut on any further adventures in that arena.

Who Writes a Book? Crazy people, that’s who. But anyone who knows me recognizes that I usually mean the word ‘crazy’ in a very positive way. Crazy as in passionate, driven, tenacious, over the top. ‘On the edge’. My energy level, which is already abnormally high, increases exponentially when I write. You know how time […]
