Home again…

Ah, the joys of putting 1100 miles on the Honda in just over 24 hours…

I'm back in Leesburg after three weeks on the road…three weeks of conventions, seminars, visits, workshops and all-around good times.  I'm filled with good memories and also very glad to be back in my living room.

Next stop…Austin

SoonerCon and A-Kon are memories.  Today it's off to Austin for the South-Central Region, EGA, annual seminar.  Usually I take a class at seminar, but this year, knowing that the seminar would be the last leg of my journey, I decided to take Studio Time instead.  Studio Time is a chance to embroider . . . → Read More: Next stop…Austin

A Dribble of Seeking North

There are at least three more parts to this section…but that's one less than there was this morning…

Seeking North — What Can You Do?  — Part 2

(My laptop doesn't have the horsepower to create new mobi's and epub's.  I'll fix that when I get back to Florida.)

An "X" of "Y"

A pride of lions…

A gaggle of geese…

An unkindness of ravens…

A surfeit of technology?  An inundation of technology?

Whatever it is, I seem to be surrounded by it, largely by my own fault.

I've got some events coming up later this year at which a so-called smart-phone will probably be useful.  . . . → Read More: An "X" of "Y"

A Thieves' World Announcement

When Carolyn, Jane, and I started planning Closed Circle, I imagined there'd be a companion site for Thieves World.

I had (and have) a laundry list of things that I wanted to include in the site I planned to call "Thieves' World Forever" and because it was a laundry list, I never felt . . . → Read More: A Thieves'  World Announcement

How can stress be so boring?

This is a question I've been asking myself pretty much every day this year.

Part of the answer, surely, is that most of the stress hasn't been my stress, but family, friends, and neighborly stress — stress where nothing I do will make any difference.  Being a devout agnostic, I can only hope . . . → Read More: How can stress be so boring?

Spring's Coming!

When I lived in Michigan, we had a saying, "Fall's a retreat, but Spring's a war."

I just wanted to let everyone north of here know that reinforcements are en route…

My condo is surrounded by robins…two or three separate flocks by the flight patterns, each with hundreds of birds.  Every year . . . → Read More: Spring's Coming!

Technical Difficulties in the Neighborhood

In one of those masterpieces of missed communications, we seem to have temporarily lost cherryh.com.  We're looking for it and when we find it, we'll nail its little feet to the Closed-Circle . . . → Read More: Technical Difficulties in the Neighborhood

Seeking North (under the wire…)

There have been interruptions, to a point where the interruptions were getting interrupted.  I'm over-committed, but that's a subject for tomorrow and New Year's Resolutions.

In the meantime, the first — admittedly shorter than I would like — installment of Seeking North has made its appearance at Seeking North

For the Love of Words

It was a lovely Christmas, filled with family, friends, and almost more food than I could eat, but I'm back to work today, determined to meet my self-imposed deadline of New Year's Eve for the first installment of Seeking North .

I have to take periodic breaks from writing, not so much . . . → Read More: For the Love of Words
