Waiting Patiently to Bring Sassy Home

By:

My brother’s little black Scottish terrier is a bit of a character. She became accustomed to watching television with my brother during his last years enduring end stage COPD. When my oldest son visited them at the end of September, he took this photo. While I’m recovering from knee surgery, Sassy is staying with a …Read More

Writing by Sticky Note: Saving Those Fleeing Ideas … By M. K. Theodoratus

By:

A fortune cookie once told me: A short pencil is more enduring than a long memory. I don’t know about you, but that little slip of paper knew how my brain works. Yeah, my memory has the half-life of a gnat. “Brilliant” ideas appear at the most inopportune times and fade away before I can …Read More

By:

So why wouldn’t I be devouring books as though they’re made of chocolate?

I’m Taking a Short Break

By:

I’m finally heading for the hospital this afternoon to get this creaky, uncooperative left knee replaced with a joint that actually works. You can guess how miserable I’ve been when you hear the surgery was originally scheduled for January 19th. My surgeon ruptured a tendon in her wrist, so I rescheduled the surgery for April. …Read More

Exploring the Writings of M.K. Theodoratus

By:

I love dipping into the works of local writers. There are so many authors in Colorado, both traditional published and self-published, who produce novels, novellas, and short stories in lots of genres. Recently I had the chance to read a couple of stories by M.K. Theodoratus, and I wanted to tell you a little about …Read More

Unfriending Your Couch … by Rich Keller

By:

Pat, a plethora of thanks for allowing me to spew my verbiage on the site that is your Intranets web document. I wish you the best of luck on your medical procedure, although I’m not too sure total body plastic surgery is the way to go. Still, it’s your choice if you wish to look …Read More
