Season Four, The Walking Dead… Booooooring.

Noteworthy– Carl behaving like a kid. Probably the only character I gave a damn about.


New Carl.

New Carl.


An aside– Rick is the same dumb ass he’s been since Season Two.


I gave it a try for my daughter’s sake. She was bored too. Fini!


However I am very much looking forward to a big slice of chocolate Shane cake. Mob City, a bloody, crazy, insane thriller crime drama (based on the nonfiction book L.A. Noir, Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City, by John Buntin) written, created, directed a...

If it weren’t for you (Penny) I’d be in jail (Penny) right now (Penny).

You know how sometimes you just want to kill someone, or at least wring his neck?


I’ve tried my damnedest to to take up drinking and smoking as a solution over the past couple weeks. The problem is I don’t much care for drinking or smoking.


Whiskey of choice.

Whiskey of choice.


Well, thank god for people like (Penny) and Jaye and Lawrence Block who managed to talk some sense into me.


(Penny) kept me from doing something stoooooopid.


Jaye kept me grounded with her normalcy.


Lawrence made me laugh and helped me put thi...

A Parent is only as happy as her most unhappy Child.

Someone once said those words to my husband and as far as I’m concerned, truer words were never spoke.


This is a stressful time for us, folks. Bear with me. This blog is insignificant in the larger scheme of things.I’ll post when I have the heart to post.


That’s all. Julia


An addendum. As I told J.W. Manus this morning, this is the kind of stress that prevents me from sleeping and eating– with the exception of a single bag of kettle-cooked Salt and Vinegar potato chips. When all else fails, pull...

Deadly Addiction– Social Media

Prepare yourself for a rant.


A little over a week ago I was nearly killed by a bicyclist who ran a red light at a high rate of speed while biking and texting at the same time.


All the cars had stopped for the light. I looked both ways and stepped into the crosswalk. Before I could take one more step I heard, just barely, a whizzing noise and glanced to my left in time to see a bicyclist zip around a stopped UPS van. He had his cell phone in his hand. He was texting with his thumb, looking down...

Monday Monday…

What did I do this weekend? Apparently I spent a way too much time clenching my teeth because my TMJ, which I haven’t felt in years, really flared up. I think I was channeling Sheldon Cooper–


Yeah, that's me...

Yeah, that’s me…


Okay, all the news that’s fit to print! Speaking of print…


Come Back To Me and One Foot In Heaven, Journey of a Hospice Nurse, will literally be out in print this week. If, (big if), I can get the books uploaded to Createspace without, in addition to turning my face into a frozen mask, goin...

The Most Wonderful Fan Letter I’ve Ever Ever Ever Received.

Made me break down and cry, ladies and germs.


Dear Miss Telpner, I was able to download your book on my iPad. I couldn’t put the book down till my eyes were absolutely unable to read anymore! I woke up with my husband at three this morning when he left for work, and I picked up my iPad. Once again, I couldn’t put the book down. Your compassion and love for people is overwhelming. I have lost many loved ones. Reading this book really opens my eyes to the cycle of life. And how precious each day...

Gerard Butler Is A Sexy Beast. And A Free Book!

I had no choice. Gerard Butler fans have been flocking here like flies due to my extreme fan-worship. So he gets a shout out. Thanks for the hits, Mr. Butler!


The sexiest beast on the planet.

The sexiest beast on the planet.


Now if he’d only choose some better movie roles, roles that allow him to use that sexy beast of a Scottish accent. As I tell Tom Stronach all the time- speak in a Scottish brogue and I’m in swoon-hood. You can say anything. You can say – “This house stinks like dog poo…” and I’ll still swoon.


However, I dig...
