A Young Man Will be Buried Today
Trigger warning: This post deals with the suicide of a young man. It is real. It is raw. It happened. A young man will be buried today. He was 22 years old, and he was convinced he would be missed by no one if he ceased to exist. He was wrong. I didn’t know Jordan … Read More

All Grown Up Now
It’s quite the eye-opening experience, seeing your “baby” function as an independent adult in her own environment. I’ve just spent the last three days in Toronto, where my youngest has been going to school. While I’d visited with her before, we had more time to spend together this trip, which gave me the opportunity to participate … Read More

A New Chapter & Lessons Learned
Today finds me on a train, heading for Toronto. After holding out for five months of roommate hell, technical difficulties, and more stress than I personally would have been able to tolerate, my Aspie daughter has made the decision to leave the game design program she was in…she’s coming home. But what might seem like … Read More

Whine, Whine, Wine…
I’ve been putting off writing this post for the last week because I’m pretty sure you’re tired of hearing me blather on about how life has interfered yet again with my writing. Frankly, I’m tired of it. I’m tired of re-jigging my schedule, missing my deadlines, and agreeing to new projects only to back out … Read More

My Ad Astra 2016 Schedule
So here we are driving to Toronto for Ad Astra, when I suddenly remember that I forgot to tell anyone where I’d be once I got there. Or, for that matter, even that I was going (apart from a couple of brief posts on Facebook and Twitter). Oops. And now here I am, writing this … Read More

Down the Rabbit Hole (Again)
You know how sometimes life just kind of swallows you up and refuses to regurgitate you? Yeah. It’s been a little like that around here for the last few weeks. Oh, I keep reassuring myself that eventually things will straighten themselves out and get back on track and settle down and all those other platitudes, … Read More

Things That Put Me to Sleep (According to my Fitbit)
One of my daughters (and her new fiancé!) got me this for Christmas this past year. If you’re not familiar with the gadget, it’s a Fitbit. It tracks the number of steps I take in a day (10,288 two days ago, but only 6,635 yesterday because I got lazy and opted out of walking Giant Dog … Read More

I Couldn’t Make this Sh** Up if I Tried
You know those reality TV shows where you watch and think, “No way this stuff is real. No one can possibly be that stupid”? Well, trust me. They can. How do I know? Because youngest is sharing a house with three of them, and every time we think things can’t possibly get any worse, they … Read More
