Can it be? Moi? Unable to scratch out even a few words? Well I guess I am doing it now, but under duress. Under the weight of extreme embarrassment. Such a struggle, it should not be… So a few words. My delightful little grandson was born 4 weeks ago today. He’s already playing Scrabble and [...]

The story takes us back to 1948, when a popular Hollywood starlet goes missing after the filming of a blockbuster movie set in the water-locked beacon. In 2008, [...]
So what’s going on in the world? I’m feeling good. Like some positive vibes are at work, downloading in the background. Can’t really explain it. Planets aligning or some such malarkey. When I feel this way, I want to share it. So here, have a slice! Been hard at work making decisions about my career, [...]
