It's been a few years since I played tag, but who knew? There's a game of tag to be had even in the blogging world... Randomreasoning just tagged me (a game, not an award, just to be clear, and I'm about to invite YOU to play)... -I'm always up for a diversion, so here goes! The … Continue reading A Game of Blog-Tag: YOU’RE It!

(Used) Lions & Bunnies & Bears, oh my!
Since my first birthday, I've had this stuffed bear I call Toots. Well, I've always called him a bear, but his physiology really does defy taxonomic classification... I'm not sure whether the tail and belly button (both features added by my Grandma at my demand) would clarify or confuse the question of precisely what type … Continue reading (Used) Lions & Bunnies & Bears, oh my!
Shining a Light into the Dark Places
It's Imbolc, a fire feast and a day that belongs to Brigid, Celtic goddess of fires, of home and hearth and healing, of smithcraft and wordcraft. (Or--for those more comfortable with a different version of her--Saint Bridget, patroness of those same things, as she has also been known since the Catholics co-opted her some centuries … Continue reading Shining a Light into the Dark Places

The initial story hit … Continue reading Do-It-Yourself Bald Barbie
Blacked Out, and Snowstorm-Driving for Dummies
In my drinking days, that title would have heralded a very different kind of post... But these days I'm Sober and it's the internet that was Blacked Out yesterday. In my case, not just Wikipedia, but the whole damn web. Probably everyone who tried to use the web yesterday became aware (if they hadn't been … Continue reading Blacked Out, and Snowstorm-Driving for Dummies
Soul for Sale, Going Once…
Once upon a time, I taught courses in college-level English Rhetoric, as well as college-level introductory Biology. This morning I got to combine those disparate background-bits to work on a freelance assignment--writing 6,000 words of rhetoric (and making a damn good case, if I say so myself) for something I don’t believe at all. Six … Continue reading Soul for Sale, Going Once…
