Thursday, May 26, 2011. The Lure of the Other Worlds. Why is it whenever you say you want to start truly doing something, you may end up doing it once or twice, but then find all the excuses in the world not to continue on with it. This of course applies to many things: weight loss/lifestyle change, exercising, cleaning house (for me at least), and of course writing. Didn't I say that I'd start it up again, keep up on my blog 1-2 times a week if possible? Big Fish Games: Ahhh. the hidden object and p...

If I’m being totally honest, there are probably places in Scotland where they really do talk like that. In fact, many years ago, when visiting Aberdeen, (150 miles from Glasgow where I lived) I struggled to figure out the nationality of the people sitting at the table next to me in the restaurant. Were they Dutch? Turns out they were Aberdonians, but with their Doric.

Strong Women. Strong Stories. In My Father’s Footsteps. January 24, 2016.
