Reflections ~ My Private Wine Concierge
Reblogged from Victoria Adams' Reading Alcove:
The holidays. A rollercoaster ride of special sparkly moments and dark moments of despair. Maybe not despair, exactly. More like tharn. I love that word (by its original definition in Watership Down). In any case, holidays can be a bit of a ride. Most of the time, I try to seek out the things that tickle me. Such as my own private wine concierge.

Reflections ~ Snow is Magic
Reblogged from Victoria Adams' Reading Alcove:
A strange statement from a person who lived in Calgary, Alberta for five years. There, snow was magic for the first, oh, two hours and mostly on a weekend.

Viking Women: A Reinterpretation of the Bones
Reblogged from Bones Don't Lie:
According to a new journal article by Shane McLeod in Early Medieval Europe, the concept of the male Norse invaders migrating across England in the 9th and 10th centuries CE is potentially biased. He argues that based on burial evidence, females were equal in number if not outnumbering the males, leading to a new interpretation of the Norse migration. Textual evidence of the Norse invasion into Britain notes the presence of women and children in some of the inv...

Welcome to the Dungeon...
After a grueling couple weeks of getting everything together in order to set my website live, success has been obtained. It's been over a year since I decided I really needed to get one, and almost nine months since I've been been actively working at making it happen. Naturally, there were bumps in the road: domain availability complications, changes in SEO, design delays, and content and development learning curves on my part...
