This is the scene in my dining room. It’s looked this way for a week now, because I came home sick from Dragon*Con AND I’M STILL SICK. I’m a healthy person. I’m not used to these illnesses that take two weeks to clear up. After seven days I have to admit…this is driving me nuts. Granted I’ve caught up on pretty much…
I came to call on Miss Leanna Renee Hieber on a breezy afternoon in early summer. We had been informally introduced through a mutual acquaintance, but someone’s whose judgment I trusted implicitly, and so I took to Miss Hieber immediately. She received me in her impressive library, pretty as a picture, her deep burgundy skirts setting off a complexion…
There was a minute — one full, sixty-second interval –when I had that fish out of water "what the heck am I doing here?!?" feeling. I filled out the "Noises Off" audition application with my name and address….and nothing else. It asked for us to list the last three productions we’d been in, and in what capacity. What WAS…
You may remember my friend Patrick Kramer as a big-time winner on the television show Don’t Forget the Lyrics. I remember Patrick from my first day of first grade at Forest Lake Elementary School in Columbia, South Carolina. I was six years old and fresh off the boat from Vermont — very much a stranger in a strange land….
Well, it’s about as THICK as a phone book — the Dragon*Con Pocket Program and Schedule Grids are now online. These are your most valuable treasure maps for the convention. Once upon a time I used to grab two of the pocket program — one to read in the hotel room and one to tear into shreds so I…
For me, 2008 was The Year of Getting Better. (Like Tomo would say: Bad Breakup was bad.) I took the first six months off to wallow in self-pity and nurse my wounded pride. By Mo*Con, I was ready to come back into the world and my friends welcomed me with open arms. I spent the rest of the year…
I had an amazing time at my first Necon. And as "amazing" is not nearly enough to describe it, look for a retrospective post coming soon. If you’re impatient, all my Necon pics are live. If you start with the first one and page through, it makes for a pretty nifty travelogue. The Breakfast Club: Bob, Kelli, Mary, Joe,…
Kitti announced a last-minute impromptu skate nite last night, and since I desperately needed another activity that wasn’t running I jumped all over it. It seems horrid to say, but Michael Jackson’s death improved the quality of the music at the rink. I knew maybe 30% of the songs this time, instead of the usual 10%. Shame, though, that…
The Kitten Shower was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who gave me great ideas! We had tea & homemade scones and lots of kitty luv. Tracy snapped a few pics. Including this one! Soak it up now, because you won’t see many photos like this… Princess Lee, Cisco, and proud Mama Kathy Cisco on the prowl
Because you’ve done this pose too, and you know it. Stephanie & Lee — Ingram’s Angels And this one: Beau Ordoyne is not your lover.
tl;dr: You can buy it directly from the printer…
Happy Prime and Anti-Prime Day! (which I think now…
Dearest Squad, “Always write when you’re in love.” My…
