We all experience pain of some sort. A relationship goes south. A government shutdown cuts off your family’s source of income for weeks. The doctor sits you down to give you bad news. Someone you love is depressed, and it’s tearing you apart, because you can’t fix it for them. Or you’re the one who’s […]

Social media can be a time-suck, but it also can provide a momentary escape. It’s likely that you have some social media accounts you follow just for fun. I’d like to encourage you to add a few more to your list — five accounts I especially enjoy. I decided to confine myself to accounts […]
When my friend Ian Gibbs announced that he was going to sell his concert photos online and donate the gross profits to charity, I was pretty sure that someday I’d ask him if I could tell his story. I believe that he is a perfect example of how any of us can use our interests […]
Month after month, Google tells me that my most popular blog post is “Something Wonderful: Slow-burn Sci-fi/Fantasy Romances.” Clearly, I’m not the only person who enjoys that kind of book.

Note: This week’s post was supposed to be in the “something wonderful” category, but it felt too frivolous after the events of last week. I promise to post something lighter next week. When I initially conceived of this post, it was in light of the pandemic, although I always intended it to encompass other events, […]
In my last post about “something wonderful,” I wrote about the comfort you can find cooking your way through Diane Mott Davidson’s culinary mysteries.

Note: I’m sorry that I didn’t post a blog entry for a couple of weeks. My website required some updating, and when that happened, I discovered I could no longer use my theme (the theme affects how a site looks). That meant that I had some work to do to fix things. I’m not crazy […]
I’ve always told myself I wouldn’t use my “something wonderful” posts to review things that were already quite popular, so I initially thought I’d never write about Studio Ghibli. It seems like everyone I know is familiar with at least some of co-founder Hayao Miyazaki’s work. But a short conversation with someone outside of my […]

One Year of Blogging
I started this blog one year ago on Oct. 3. Since then I have posted twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays with a couple of exceptions: I posted late once in November, because I lost track of time, and I took a two-week break this summer. It’s not the first time I’ve blogged, but […]
