First Round of ALA Photos
Whew! I spent an hour in the garden this morning (harvested some sugar snap peas, weeded, weeded, weeded, and admired my just-about-to-bloom hollyhocks), then started the post-conference paperwork and email,… ….and then I wrote – for an hour. ‘Twas heavenly.
i wasn’t joking
This was where I worked until the sun chased me inside. Notice the toe peeking just above the screen of the laptop.
A slight delay…
Yesterday was a loooooooong day that stretched into the night, and I still didn’t get everything done that I had hoped. So my post about The Very Nearly Perfect Thing will be a little delayed. I think I’ll make a video to explain it and hope to put it up late today or tomorrow. First, [...]
The Finish Line
::cue theme song from Rocky:: There are two version to the story of this weekend’s adventure. Here is the short version: Office Mouse is great! Here is the video of BH and I crossing the finish line. Can you hear them say our names? In a nutshell: we ran the Lake Placid Half-Marathon, we had [...]
I am melting and other obvious facts

Without the [...]
Happy Cinco de Birthday!
The Forest is decorated with streamers and margaritas today. Yes, it is Cinco de Mayo (and take it from me: San Jose is where you want to be on Cinco de Mayo weekend). But it is also the birthday of Stephanie, my oldest daughter. You can leave birthday greetings on Bookavore, her blog, if you [...]
Dawn Patrol
Yesterday was a lucky day for me. My tomato plants survived the frost, snug in their little handmade hoodies. My flights were on time, my flights were (relatively) comfortable, and my luggage did not wander off on its own. AND I won a contest. I have never won a contest before in my whole life. [...]
Baby Got Book
So you don’t know this about me yet, but I love, love, love the song “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-A-Lot. It is an excellent running song that gets my feet moving much faster than normal. Picture me dashing down a country road singing the lyrics at the top of my lungs, disturbing wildlife with [...]
