Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Those of you who have followed me for a while know that I don’t usually respond to awards or challenges, save for the three regular challenges I participate in. However, every now and then, someone tags me on the right day and it sticks. Still, there is the issue that I don’t do well with... Continue Reading →
One problem with keeping track of ideas is that the ones that never come to fruition hang around to remind me that they were bad ideas. They weren’t all bad ideas, some were just victims of bad timing. Others were mistakes I made while having the idea and others are ideas that used to live... Continue Reading →
If you follow Evelyne Holingue, you are aware that she’s participating in the April A-to-Z thing. A-To-Z calls for a blog post every day in April except Sundays, except April 1st which was a Sunday, and was Easter but still required a post because calendars and math had paper and A-to-Z had rock and…well, you...

Consider this a brief and as yet incomplete report on my investigation into a series of minor problems I’ve been having interacting with this community. What? You weren’t aware that I was investigating? Well, I have been, ever since the great “User does not exist” incident. If you’re wondering where this post is going, I... Continue Reading →

I could see my stats in the app. I was invited to login at the bottom of my page, but each attempt failed because... Continue Reading →
After reading Deborah Drucker’s recent post: “Appointment to Write,” she and I exchanged a few comments. I mentioned: "I am plodding along the same path/rut I’ve been in." It probably wasn’t the best choice of words, but Deborah's response got me thinking about schedules and habits and ruts and where they all intersect. I'm not... Continue Reading →
One of the things I like about writing vs. speaking is the opportunity to avoid saying the wrong thing. Sometimes, after I write a post, the Editor says: "Are you sure you want to say that?" or “Do you really want to go there?” She might point out that what I wrote has a meaning... Continue Reading →
Over two years ago, I wrote a post about Blogging – Geek Style, where I talked about Evernote and Trello. Two years is a long time, and it turns out, two apps are too many. While both apps are still on my phone, and my iPad, and my desktop (yes, I am still a geek... Continue Reading →
