A fellow blogger has recently been bemoaning the hassles of moving, and I couldn't be more in sympathy! It doesn't help that I've had to move five times in the last four years, but I never liked moving to begin with. When my first husband and I bought a house, I swore I was going … Continue reading The Dying(?) Art of Knowing Your Neighbors
Some barely-related stories, and memories of a Storyteller
I have to say, I quite enjoyed the ethical discussion spurred by the post about my writing-dilemma last week ("Cheatin' on a Cheater"). Not everyone was in favor of my "solution" (if, indeed, my decision deserves such a designation)--but we all got to thinking, didn't we?

As a one-time college instructor myself, I have Zero compassion for the literary cheat, and I paused to … Continue reading Cheatin’ on a Cheater
Monday Giggle: “They Really DO Exist!”
If anyone knows where these photos originated, I'd like to credit them appropriately--but in the meantime, I can't resist posting from the collection that arrived via an email "forward" this morning from my Ma... Happy Monday, All!
The Reluctant Fashionista Springs Forward
This may not be a problem a lot of you have run into, so I have to share that it's kind of challenging to find clerical shirts for women that a woman would want to wear. Particularly if one's clerical activities fall outside the realm of traditional church-choir stuff (more on this in "Confessions of … Continue reading The Reluctant Fashionista Springs Forward
