You know all those vacation ads of perfect people on perfect beaches, in perfectly clear and beautifully blue and green tropical waters? I found the place they take them. Of it, you’ll see what I mean. We opted to get active and with four other people take a nature/historical walk around the parts of the island accessible to us. Well worth the time, even though I ended up wishing I’d ...

Bev Cooke, YA author: Writing and Faith and Fulminating, Fulminating and Writing and Faith. And memes. Hurry up and wait. And wait. And wait. And . . … wait some more. Heh Heh. Heh. So we waited again. And waited. And waited. No explanations, no attempts to answer questions. It’ll be here in a few minutes was the mantra. Forty five minutes to an hour later the bus finally arrived. We boarded and then waited (again! We drove off as the driver did a comedic monologue, which, if I hadn’t been so frustrated ...

Bev Cooke, YA author: Writing and Faith and Fulminating, Fulminating and Writing and Faith. And memes. TO BE OR NOT TO BE? Well, according to Times Magazine, August 3. Now, we seem to have moved to a sense of it’s okay for someone to choose their own death, as long as they are at the end of their lives, hit by intolerable pain or illness, bereaved and sorrowing and unable to contemplate life without a person they love or severly disabled. That scares me for two reasons. In more than 1,000 cases a year, d...
