Almost Home
I’m still at my mother’s house, but I’ll be getting back to m desktop as soon as I can. I thought it would be easier to post and visit while traveling. I hit a hot spot three more times before now, but was always so tired I couldn’t handle it. In one case we were back in Ulaanbaatar for barely 12 hours, and had to not only sleep, but re-pack. Then it was off to the Gobi desert. I also […]

Mongolia and Eagles
Yep. That’s me holding a golden eagle and wearing some weird outfit. I was hanging with a Cossack family who use the eagle for hunting. It’s tour puts you right into people’s homes. It’s quite the experience. It has also given me some great ideas for my next book. I’m plotting it now. It’ll be set in Mongolia. Eagles in it? Don’t know yet, but could well be.

Mongolia
I’m away from keyboard again. As I mentioned on my Welcome page, I’m going to Mongolia for a few weeks. I’ll be sleeping in yurts, wandering through deserts, paddling across lakes, visiting museums, and meeting families who raise yacks and reindeer. Yes, of course I’m going to take pictures. 🙂 I’ll be glad to share them with you when I get back and have time to cull through what is good and what is not. I’m taking 32megs of memory, […]
Tea-d Off
Tina: So you see, this meteor is a sign from heaven. It came right as I was saying I would only move in with you again if one fell, and no one can move it, and you can see it makes a terrible coffee table. Whether I like it or not, I must move in with you again. Jack, why don’t you have some more tea? I’m sure it’ll settle your never. Gertrude: Jack? What do you think? Jill: I […]
Metamorphosis
. She: Why must we spend so much time as caterpillars and so little as butterflies? Is the slow decimation of leaves and the ungainly wriggling – barely a step above slug – really worthy of the eight minutes in flight? He: Um… Well, if it means you’re coming back to my place now, then yeah. It’s worth it. The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words. Flash Fiction 55 is […]
13 Places I’d Like to Go.
1. Mount Everest. Only I’d rather take the helicopter and skip the climb 🙂 2. India. About any part would be fine. 3. Antarctica. Just to be able to say I was. 4. Australia. Both the coast where everyone lives, and the outback. 5. Africa. Wherever there is drumming 6. Norway. To see the fjords. 7. France. Particularly Paris for the Louvre, and the Eiffel tower. The Girls says “What about the catacombs. Come on, Mom.” 8. Indonesia. To see […]
Suzie’s House 319 : Middle School Graduation
“This is all a… a pretense,” Ben leaned over to Lisa and whispered. They weren’t supposed to be sitting next to each other because there were half a dozen people with last names between Hammaker and Johansen, but no one seemed to care. It wasn’t like assigned seating or anything. Maybe that was why Lisa kind of felt like Ben was right. “Shhh,” she said anyway. “At least pretend you’re listening.”

Junk
My house is full of it. Stuff, I mean. I just put in shelves to hold what little I let The Boy leave behind when he moved out. He was supposed to condense his stuff himself, but apparently he doesn’t have the knack for it yet. He was taking up the whole room with the stuff, and as it was scattered everywhere. It was an eye sore. Not that this is much better, but every little bit, you know. I’m […]
