It was late June 2003. I had been volunteering with the GLCC for a year or so. I decided to take a chance on a new “women’s discussion group” that was being formed. So off I went one Sunday afternoon to see what might happen. Magic. That was the night I met Ledcat. She, too, […]
Tuesday, January 8, 2013 If you could be given the option to never sleep and also never be tired, would you take it if it meant you’d also never dream again? Well, no I would not. First, I believe sleep is about far more than simply not being tired – it is when my body […]

Trish – Marriage equality coming to Maine, Maryland and Washington, maybe because 2012 was the year when I got married (after years of thinking I never would). It forced me […]
Making some tweaks to the blog and then hoping to see The Hobbit. Anyone else?
If you haven’t heard of Anonymous, perhaps you’ve been living under a rock. The recent Anonymous movement #OccupyStuebenville is taking place this Saturday, January 5th, in our own backyard. It has been making national headlines and causing quite the local stir. I wanna know if you are going. I wanna hear your thoughts on the […]
Caffeine is an artificial stimulant. But aren’t all stimulants artificial? I love coffee. Didn’t have a taste for it until I lived in Baton Rouge in 1993 – that was my first experience of the “coffee house” experience – chicory coffee and beignets. I gained 30 lbs. Then I moved to rural Kentucky and basically […]
Friday, January 4, 2013 At what time of day do you feel the most energetic and productive? Wow, this varies. My natural rhythm is to be productive late at night, but the sleep regimin requires that I decompress earlier in the evening. Still, I occasionally wake up at 2 AM with an AWESOME idea and […]
