http://demonbabyandme.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Demon Baby and Me: Adventures in Parenting. Monday, March 30, 2009. Demon Baby's Career Choices. I have shared on my writing blog. That I don't particularly care if my children have practical professions. I am not a practical person. I make my living as a writer and a novelist- being a novelist is as unpractical a profession as one can have, save, maybe, actor. Baby Girl and I was hanging out in my big bed the other night, each of us engrossed in our own book. Suddenly, she turned to me. He says he wants...

There is a light somewhere. may not be much light but it beats the darkness. charles bukowski. Sunday, July 10, 2011. Ollege degrees. Are they worth the hype? In 2007 I enrolled in college with a focus on obtaining a degree. My major remained unclaimed simply because college was new territory for me. Really, who begins college at age fifty-three? Like I knew the difference. I shrugged and said, "Okay." She then asked how much of a course load I thought I could handle (keep in mind, I was fifty-th...Five ...
