Thursday Thoughts: Yay, Sports!
Since the game was on late, I recorded it and watched it this morning as I drank my coffee. I'm glad it wasn't a blow out. With the two best teams playing each other, winning 3-2 is what should be expected. When it comes to hockey, two rivalries come to mind Canada vs. United States, … Continue reading Thursday Thoughts: Yay, Sports!

Weird Wednesday: Precipitation Participation
Not my picture, but it could be. -This summer, we had the least rain since . . . ever. This winter we have had the most snow since . . . you guessed it, ever. Sigh. I could be wrong, but this is how I understand it. There is a finite amount of H2O on … Continue reading Weird Wednesday: Precipitation Participation

Tuesday Tidbits: Under the Covers
So I admit that by doing this I am revealing that my novella will be a trilogy. If you read The View from Here, you will be aware that as fun and exciting the ending was, it could stand alone or continue.

Music Monday: Songs you might want to hear – The Good Lovelies
There is a radio show on CBC here in Canada that occasionally does a feature called SYNTH: Songs You Need To Hear. Now, I can't say to someone, "You'll like this song" (or book for that matter) because I can't presume that others will share my taste in music (or books), so it is safer … Continue reading Music Monday: Songs you might want to hear – The Good Lovelies

Super Bowl Sunday: Do you care?

What about wrestling?Oh, wrestling, of course. That was cool.Hockey?Yup. My favorite team was the Washington Redskins, now renamed as the Commanders.

Weekend Wrap-up Feb 12: Do you Luv ‘lympics?
I do. My new favorite is Snowcross. Kind of like downhill roller-derby without the shoving and elbowing. Short track speed skating is always exciting to watch. Now that the Canadian women's hockey team has set the bar high, trouncing Sweden 11-0, it will be interesting to see how they follow that up. Do you like … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up Feb 12: Do you Luv ‘lympics?

Weird Wednesday: Couch Coaching / Cartoons
The Winter Olympics. When people become an expert in sports that they haven’t see in four years (or ever). I’m guilty. There are some sports that are covered on a regular basis, while others, unless you have a decent streaming/cable package, do not get as much media attention between the games. There are some very … Continue reading Weird Wednesday: Couch Coaching / Cartoons

Tuesday Tidbits: What’s the Frequency, Kenneth? Newsletters that is.
If you are an author, then you probably have a mailing list. If you have a mailing list, then you probably send out newsletters. If you send newsletters, then you probably struggle at times about how often to want to bother your readership. If you probably struggle at times about how often to want to … Continue reading Tuesday Tidbits: What’s the Frequency, Kenneth? Newsletters that is.
