Give A Hand Up Down Under

One of my favorite people in the world, Anne Gracie, is doing a very good thing, and I think you all should know about it. Here are the deets:
Bronwyn Jameson and Anne Gracie are offering a 4 week on-line romance writing course to raise money to help pay the massive hospital bills [...]

Thankful Days

It’s Thanksgiving and I’m home with this stupid cough because I am not infecting my entire family for the holidays. Yes, I have some resentments from my childhood, but nothing like that.

Also watching Rachel Maddow and crocheting caps for Callie that [...]

Make You Cry

I’m still crying pretty much every morning. It could be the pneumonia talking, but I’m feeling pretty good, so I’m going with Obama and hope and a new day. But I hate crying alone so look at the political cartoons:

There’s more on Slate.com. It’s always amazed me how a political cartoon [...]

Vote, Please

I know, I know, everybody’s telling you that. But the thing is, there’s more going on here than who wins or loses. It’s also about how much they win or lose by. So your vote absolutely makes a difference, even if the pundits are pretty sure who’s going to win. And [...]
