Yesterday afternoon, I realized I had put on and was wearing my underwear inside out…for the second time this week. To say I’m a bit distracted, a bit stressed, even a bit overwhelmed might come close to describing the tornado of activity and change I’ve experienced in the past two months. Might. Packing, packing, and more packing of [...]
I got the idea from reading Alice Steinbach’s Without Reservations, which I very much enjoyed and would recommend. So, six weeks ago I sat down with a croissant, a café au lait, and a pen and I wrote. I wanted to capture the moment, the little and the great, the feeling of being there if only [...]

The whole two-story building’s operations boiled down to one lady behind a desk just inside a door-front, asking “Does this already have postage?” Seriously, how would that be [...]
I don’t worship at Our Lady of Twilight Cathedral. I don’t pay homage to the sparkly skin of Edward Cullen. I’ve never read the books and, until last night when I conducted some “research,” I hadn’t seen the movie either.
