Happy December and happy holiday season! I don’t know about you, but my writing time takes a HUGE hit this time of year.

Good morning, everyone! It’s officially November. Halloween has come and gone, the candy is handed out, and Thanksgiving preparations can begin for those of us in the USA.

The news around here in the desert southwest is being REALLY CAREFUL to remind everyone that it’s NOT summer yet … just Spring. Of course, they’re also regularly reporting heat advisories and reminding people to quit... Continue Reading →
It’s officially MAY. Temperatures in my neck of the woods are regularly going over 90 degrees Fahrenheit and headed for that dreaded 100. Things in my day job are headed toward a big upheaval that may cause me to spend more time there, which is always scary. But, that’s not the point of this blog... Continue Reading →
