  • Fun's over

    I really should write more, but don't have much time. My son's winter break is over Sunday and I'll be taking him to the airport for his flight to Florida. He was such a dear and cleared a monster amount of snow that fe…

  • Oh, man, I need a break...

    from Christmas! I'm almost finished with this writing project, but I can't seem to really get done. There are stocking stuffers. The living room looks like a banshee made residence there. The dining room is worse. Someh…

  • Shakin' all over

    I took a look at the videos we have of the Obama rally (and this is the last of it, really). I almost wasn't going to post it at all because it's so shaky. Lots of poeple jostling us around. There's a lot of other stuff …

  • It's fall, all right.

    I'm pretty good at denying things, but fall is definitely here. The leaves are finally starting to change and my car is covered with tiny yellow things that get into just about every air duct. Plus, it's chilly. Any time…

  • Nose to the grindstone

    Misery loves company around here. Not only did the Cubs lose yesterday, but so did the White Sox. There's enough misery to swath the whole city. But it's time to stop feeling depressed and get back to work. I've got sug…

    We writers are weird bunch. We slave away alone writing and re-writing, wondering if what we've typed is any good at all. After about five drafts or so, it comes time to send that baby out into the world and get some fee…

  • Mission Accomplished

    Now that I've gotten my head out of politics for a while (and believe me, it hasn't been easy), I sat back and finished up the manuscript of my work-in-progress. Rather than wait 10 more months for my writers' group to g…

  • LinkedIn mania and the usual Monday nonsense

    I'm a member of LinkedIn, which is a networking site that helps professionals stay together and possibly help each other with jobs. (It hasn't worked for me, yet, but I keep hoping.) Anyway, someone asked to join my Link…

  • Missing each other

    I spoke to my son tonight and he finally got an Internet connection and read my essay. His response was more than I could have hoped. He said he misses me too and thinks of me every night. Getting used to Florida is not …

  • crazy

    I'm a bit out of my mind today. Haven't heard from Newsweek on my essay, but found that it takes two months for them to make up their minds, and they say "time-sensitive essays may not be acceptable." Since my essay was …
