http://7thpine.blogspot.com/2007/06/one-of-those-days-walking-on-broken.html
Notes on Everyday Life, Writing, Motherhood and a Boy Named Jack. Wednesday, June 13, 2007. One of Those Days: Walking on Broken Glass.

The biggest delight was a cottage-style home with high ceilings and transoms over the regular windows. The use of up space totally changed the scale of the home, making it cozy and expansive at the same time. (And apparently it's good for the brain. A recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research. Home design. Most of the extravagent homes up here have million-dollar v...

7th & Pine: Game On: Clan of the Cave Writers
http://7thpine.blogspot.com/2007/06/game-on-my-latest-writing-motivation.html
Notes on Everyday Life, Writing, Motherhood and a Boy Named Jack. Friday, June 1, 2007. Game On: Clan of the Cave Writers. Today begins a two-month novel-writing challenge with a writer friend, part of my endless quest for motivators that actually work. This latest offensive is prompted in part by reading Steven Pressfield's "The War of Art," a tough-love homage to creativity that sweeps away all our "yeah, but." detractors and tells us to just sit down and do this thing. Could you run fast enough? Beati...

7th & Pine: Where it's "at"
http://7thpine.blogspot.com/2008/02/where-its-at.html
Notes on Everyday Life, Writing, Motherhood and a Boy Named Jack. Tuesday, February 5, 2008. Laying in bed last night, my boy began naming the words on the word wall in first grade. " At. Is the first one," he said. He got quiet and considered the implications. Is a very famous word.". At is transportation and definition. It takes and places you.

http://7thpine.blogspot.com/2007/05/unsubscribed.html
Notes on Everyday Life, Writing, Motherhood and a Boy Named Jack. Wednesday, May 30, 2007. A few months ago, at breakfast, my son pointed to page one in the daily paper and asked "is he hurt? It was an AP photo from Iraq showing a car bombing, a man slumped over, dead. I lied and said he'd had an accident. The ambulance will be there soon," I said. My son was visibly relieved. Journalism rule no. 27:. My son didn't get it - those bodies on the curb. One day he'll learn that. But not today. Now at breakfa...

Notes on Everyday Life, Writing, Motherhood and a Boy Named Jack. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. Press Liberties: Valerie Plame. At a family get-together in Flint this weekend, talk turned political, as it's inclined to do among the offspring of sit-down strikers (don't even get us started. On NAFTA).
