Although there have been requests for one and although I know it can be rather annoying not to be informed about a new blog post via email, I have decided not to set up a newsletter form my site. At least not any time soon. Instead I will create a schedule for this site, so it will at least be a...

Just a quick note this time. Yesterday we did a little more wandering around Durham. Checked out the stalls in the Old Market Hall looking for gifts, but didn't see anything that really grabbed me. Went off to look at Sara & Joel's new house that they're gradual...

Found an interesting article in The Independent which asked a good question and then spent its entire length not even beginning to address anything close to an answer. The point was made that even though recorded crime has reduced, why is there a surge in popularity in the fiction crime genre?

Zo’n anderhalf jaar geleden ruilde ik dit boek tijdens een ruilavond. Het klonk wel tof en het omslag vond ik ook wel mooi – zij het misschien wat jonger dan de reguliere Young Adult doelgroep. Vervolgens stond het boek al die tijd in mijn kast. Pas toen ik zag dat de auteur naar YALC zou […]

Why Replenish? It is no fun to live life on empty.          Replenish sounds and feels like the sheer relief you get from quenching your thirst. Doesn’t it feel incredible to enjoy an ice-cold drink on a hot day?  Life, like the heat of the sun, can drain your reserves and leave you thirsting for...

Earlier this week I also wrote for @thestrangerseattle about the brief appearance of Serial Killer Speed Dating, which shut down before it ever started because ONLY ONE DUDE BOUGHT A TICKET. Are you this dude? Please tell me if you were the dude.

Huge thanks to the wonderful @maggie_mcmuffin who...

August is a peachy balancing act.  We watch our peaches grow on the tree, from golf ball like suits, to acquiring a rosy glow in the warmth.  We reach up, carefully  palpating the  fruit,  to feel when ripeness comes close. My neighobors and I share this summer ritual.  Finally, the...

     I’m sitting here cooling my heels while Akio is searching for Michael, joining him to clear the riff-raff from the Earth, something that I was supposed to be doing. Then again, from what I heard of Denver, he’s conducting more of a scorched ea...

Nonii, tegin kohe jutti teise arvustuse ka ära, sest noh, ega kauaks tal minu juures ikka asja pole ja seega tuleb video enne ära teha, kui ma seda veel oman :D Kuna ma alles üleeile selle sain, siis ma polnud jah kahjuks väga kursis, mismoodi see kinni-lahti käib (olin tegelt korra proovinud ain...

God dropped another door in my path this week. One of our Sunday preachers at the nursing home brought a visitor: his sister, all the way from Harare, Zimbabwe.

It turns out Tapiwa Gwenlisa “Gwen” Marange is a lot more than my friend’s sister and my sister in Christ. She’s also an international mo...
