“I’ve dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they’ve gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.” Emily Bronte Mel shared ten things about herself and one of them was that she dreams in color. I dream in [...]

Recently on a popular list there was a discussion about used book stores. It was prompted after someone posted that a seller on ebay had an auction that included printed off copies of ebooks. An author on the list posted that readers should keep in mind that there are no royalties for authors on ebay, [...]

Why didn’t someone tell me that in Internet Explorer the video of Brianna Crawling took up almost the whole screen? It was just a little box in the sidebar in Firefox. Damnit. Well anyhow, if you missed the video and are just dying to see it, you can view it here

**I have not been very good about keeping up with Brianna’s baby book. It’s a source of great mommy guilt for me. So I decided to try my hand at writing her letters instead. We’ll see how this works out. Dear Brianna, The month of March was such a time of changes for you. On [...]

Did the great “internet free” experiment yesterday. Although I have to admit, since Brianna got me out of bed at 6:30am, I did check my email and post the “Dear Charlie and Angie” column. But I had the laptop shut down and put away by 7:30a – before Josh even got out of bed. And [...]

I was married to an alcoholic. But he wasn’t a nasty, mean, or hurtful alcoholic. He was actually known as one of the nicest guys around. But he was still an alcoholic and sometimes, that was embarrassing. He would drink to the point of falling down, of being unable to talk – of urinating off [...]
