  • Grief 2.0

    Image by Robert1709 from Pixabay A week ago I went to a memorial service for a man who was like a brother to me. Over time, we hadn’t seen a lot of one another, and I do not know his children. It’s a peculiar feeling, meeting the children—arguably among the most dear relations we have—at…

  • Book Review—The Solace of Denim, by Kathy Otten

    What a gripping page-turner! I tore through this book, unable to stop reading (and when I had to put it down, it stayed on my mind!) I truly cared about the main character, and feared for him throughout. Joey’s life has been hard, and it’s getting worse. He’s lost everyone who cares about him, and is…

    Vintage novels making a comeback

  • Update—still so tired

    I’m finally back at the keyboard. I took a few days to go on a (business) trip with someone who dislikes traveling alone. I did take my work with me, but I spent a LOT of time relaxing and reading, which was important. Traveling is exhausting. And we deplaned just in time to see on…
