Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.

All you got to do is swim, swim, swim. Anybody else remember the Dory swim song from Finding Nemo? It keeps running through my head. It’s the 30th today, soon to be the 31st of October. You know what that means? It means I’ve got to have all the zines ready to go live tomorrow […]

Music — it binds us together…

Today, I got sent a link to a YouTube video with just the phrase “you got to listen to this”. I did. First, it’s a song that I really, really like and it means a lot to me. Second, I found the Bill Moyer’s interview with Mark Johnson who has spent years getting this project, […]

Sound of weather….

Today is one of those grey, blustery day with occasionally spatters of rain. Mostly it’s wind. I went out to check if we’d gotten any packages because I thought I heard a truck. It wasn’t anywhere near as cold out as I thought from the sound of the wind. Does anyone else associate sounds with […]

Here’s where I stand at the 1 year and 1 month (-2 days): 244 posts in 36 categories. 10,433 total comments, […]

After convention let down….

One of the wonderful things about conventions is that you meet so many new people, make some friends, talk with people you haven’t seen for a while, and stay up late and get up early. The problem with conventions is that you get too little sleep, meet lots and lots of people and in the […]

Capclave 2008, Sunday Oct 19th.

Finally, I’m getting the Sunday Capclave details up. As you know, we were so busy on Sunday that we didn’t get to post. We got up late. Packed up and got our bags and baggage out to the car. Double checked that we hadn’t missed anything in the room, and checked out. By this time, […]
