Now, I think this house is a tiny bit pretentious and out of place, not to mention that in a city with breathtaking views, this house is not oriented to maximize them. In fact, it looks like it’s shrouded by trees — combustible, non-native eucalyptus at that — and is likely dark inside. Steeps. I mean steps. View That house to the right has a rooftop garden.

Books, banter, blather. WTF Wednesday – The Letters I’ve Saved. Middot; Write a comment. Middot; Categories: WTF Wednesday. Recently, four different friends have said, “Seeing your house makes me want to go home and clear out all my clutter.” I find it ironic and hysterical that I, of all people, would inspire anyone to de-clutter. I’m such a recovering pack rat! The box barely survived this move. Why didn’t I just chuck the box in the recycle bin? So many letters, so many memories. I offer these as proo...

Books, banter, blather. Neighborly Collaboration or Competition? Middot; Write a comment. Middot; Categories: Petaluma. Here’s the rest of the best of last year’s Halloween. Two or three houses collaborate — or is it compete? Last year’s theme was “Satan High.” One house had the quotidian activities of high school, including the science lab and the resultant visits to the nurse’s office. Is Biology a required course? Can I skip it? Detention and shop do not mix well. And, of course, football. You could s...

Books, banter, blather. The Power of Gold-sniffing Gophers. Middot; Write a comment. Middot; Categories: Writing. In Seattle a few summers ago, we took an underground tour, a decidedly dank and touristy meandering through the history of Seattle and its boom as a result of the gold rush in Alaska. Writers’ conferences are another staple of this landscape. I’ve been to a few. When my confidence wanes and cynicism takes over, I see so many deluded dreamers (self included) paying to hear the expertis...A hre...

In addition to a lot of animal photos, I found a series of photos in a theme. It made me wonder about myself…or more appropriately about the company I keep. Why do I hang around people who treat me thusly? Allison shirks from hug. Derek cringes from kiss. Et tu, Cindy? Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You may use these.

Well, I can’t say that there were throngs of adoring fans lining up to buy my book, but at least I can say that I didn’t puke at Lit Crawl. I survived my first public reading of my fiction, and even had some fun doing it. The night before the event, I finished watching the movie. Then Derek talked me into watching. Beware of Mr. Baker.
