Reflections of an astronaut on his voyage into space:
"The first day or so we all pointed to our countries. The
third or fourth day we were pointing to our continents.
By the fifth day, we were aware of only one Earth."

Steve Johnson's blog:
Years ago, I used to work with a hard-working police reporter who I nicknamed Wendy Queen Of Mayhem. Every time I worked with her, especially if the moon was full, it was a night of madness and mayhem. We often talked about writing and the possibility of one of us writing a novel about a police r...

Jessie Pinkham's blog:
It's common in the writing community, I've learned, to divide us into two camps: plotters and pantsers. A plotter, as the name implies, plans out the plot of their story before writing. A pantser writes by the seat of their pants.

It's funny, I'm reading the Dark Tower series and find myself constantly in awe of King's brilliance. However, as I admire his work another name comes to mind: James Patterson. This is not because I see these two men as the pinnacle of literary greatness (though they obviously should be included...

The night is serene with cool air and a starry sky above my window. I have lost count of the cups of wine I drank after some hours. I have every reason to feel grateful and pleased.

My day job is emotionally demanding. I'm privileged to do what I do, and I'm grateful for every not-quite-wrong-turn that led me to this occupation. But after a few consecutive 13-hour work-days, and the challenges that come with raising kids, and the relentless media firehose of terrible, terrib...

So, I'm going to write and post a content-inclusive review for every song on my playlist. All 72+!

All right, can anyone positively identify this mystery plant? It came up as a volunteer on the north side of my house, and seems to be self-seeding, because it keeps coming back each year. It blooms like this from the first week of August till frost. Bumblebees love it. Minnesota.
