That’s the motto of an outdoors magazine called Mountain Gazette, and I actually think those words often.
Like right now. Mental and physical state? Burnt, people, just plain burned out. Not another creative thought in my brain. Plus here in my hometown it’s still about eight degrees hotter than hell, so tomorrow [...]
I’ve noticed in recent times that my husband might possibly have a thing for Paris Hilton. I know–let’s not go there.
But now I think I’ve been highly undervaluing the young woman. Take a look at her response to John McCain for using her picture (along with Britney Spears’s) in a recent ad claiming [...]
Hi there. In case you’re wondering why I’m not frantically writing away on the screenplay that has to be in the mail THIS FRIDAY, it’s because I have a policy of always taking Sundays off, not only because we need clean underwear over here, but also because I believe the brain and the body [...]
I don’t have much time to write this, and you’ll understand why in a minute, and my heart’s going about a hundred miles a minute–

The jury’s still out on whether I’m going (it all depends on my book-writing schedule), but that’s no excuse for the rest of you not to get it together and make your plans to go to beautiful Portland, OR and spend some quality time with your fellow kidlitters and bloggers! It’s the 2nd Annual [...]
Friends, bloggers, countrymen–I JUST FINISHED! I just, thirty seconds ago, sent my revised manuscript for the new book to my editor!! Now excuse me while I go watch 800 hours of accumulated recorded TV programs!
Just kidding.
But not really.
I have SO much to catch up on. Books to read, magazines and newspapers to [...]
If you’ve been a reader here for long enough, you know I love Dr. Kenneth R. Miller. In a platonic, fangirl kind of way. He is a prominent science, a biology professor at Brown University, and author of the most excellent book Finding Darwin’s God: A Scientist’s Search for Common Ground Between [...]
