The inspiration for me to read this book came from Stainless Steel Droppings: SciFi Experience 2009. I don’t read much science fiction any more, but I figured I would go with the mood this month. I am so glad I did. Otherwise, I probably would never have read Old Man’s War. I was sufficiently pleased … More old man’s war by John Scalzi

I bought two turkeys last year, planning to have a Thanksgiving feast revisited in February as part … More As Mother Nature Rocks Her Children to Sleep
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is the present. That’s why they call it a gift.” Thursday morning I had to leave the house early, but didn’t have to be to work for another hour. No problem guessing where I could be found with that little extra bit of free time… Humboldt Cafe, … More Today is a gift….

This week’s prompt from Becca on Write on Wednesday was: Do you make time to write everyday? Don’t you think everybody should? Well…… I do write every day, but I do not Write every day.
