Meandering Monday about Leaving a Mark

We live in an age where people seem focused on trying to achieve their fifteen seconds of fame. For many, it doesn’t matter WHAT the cause of that fame is – FAME – as mercurial as it is – is the objective. It’s human to want to be noticed, but even more human to want … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “The Unreliability of the Mature Mind”

“The Unreliability of the Mature Mind” is an ongoing concern for me as I watch my memory slip further from being reliable. I wondered – if you had an advanced brain-washing technique that involved creating false memories by building new neural connections, would it work with people whose neural pathways aren’t holding together? Could dementia … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Flip-Flopping

Goal report for last week: Three blog posts done as usual. Still looking for an open market to send “Date Night” to. Made enough comments on other people’s blogs.

Fun Friday: In Search of a Frying Pan of Doom

One of the greatest things about the internet is how it makes it possible to find ANYTHING you are looking for (if only I could figure out how to get people to look for my books… sorry about that self-serving digression.) Whether you want to rediscover toys from your childhood, or find special tools or … Continue reading →
