Twilight Eruption of Beehive Geyser
I realized I hadn’t taken our scenic route to Yellowstone Park for a while. I believe the Park is still closed, though it might have opened by the time this post goes live. It’s been such a funky spring, it is hard to know. The hubs is a dedicated geyser gazer and will wait for…

Did You Say You’d Never Do That? Oops.
So, TWICE recently I drove to McD’s for my bacon-cheese-biscuit breakfast wearing my slippers. Twice in like, two days. (If you’re also worried about my health, don’t be. Tests came back great. Hubs is SO bitter, but that’s a different blog post. Maybe.) As I waited for the light, I found myself wondering what other…

Ever Felt Like This?
Have you ever felt like snarling? I did on Saturday, when I was trying to get my blogging mojo on. Or least get a blog post done. It felt like all the Muses were working against me. Like I was writing through mud. So this week my scenic route is through a snarl. It might…

Are You Old Tech (like dirt) or New Tech?
My friend, Diana Beebe of Mermaids Don’t do Windows, blogged last week about trying to undo what she learned in typing class, back when we used to double space after typing a period. This reminded me of a blog post topic I’ve been mulling far longer than was actually needed. Technology in books and film.…

When You’re Inviting the Muse…
If you follow my Wednesday Scenic Route, then you know it usually takes me through the hubs Flickr page. I love his photos so much, my graphic designer used one of them in the cover art for Relatively Risky. He suggested this photo when I asked him for an idea for today and I fell…

Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans?
It doesn’t matter who is singing the song, or where I am when it comes on. My breath catches and I have to stop and listen. I grew up in Wyoming. When I was little all I knew of New Orleans was some dimly remembered news footage of hurricanes and Mardi Gras. I never expected…

It’s Spring! Have you got your fairy on?
Today our scenic route takes us through the Sherwood Forest Faire near Paige, Texas. The hubs made a trip over there to try out his new camera and he found lots of whimsy. And fairies. Lots and lots of fairies. You have to admit there is a certain magical quality about fairies and this one…

What If Future Scientists Judged Us by our Sp@m?
Yeah, this is a blog about spam. I suspect that most bloggers never plan not to talk about it, but almost everyone eventually gives in and writes a blog about spam. It’s either write about it or cry about it. And I just missed the waaa-mbulance. Don’t get me wrong, without spam I’d never have…

Sherwood Forest in Texas???
The hubs took the scenic route to Sherwood Forest and came back with a slew of fairy pictures. What, you ask? No Robin Hood or Sheriff? I honestly don’t know if they were there, because the hubs hasn’t gotten through all his pictures from the event yet, but sometimes we just need more fairies in…

Where do you Read?
I was watching HGTV (I think it was Sara 101 or something like that) and the host decorated this office with two, chaise lounges. If I had a chaise lounge two feet from my desk, I wouldn’t get much done. I’d be on the chaise lounge reading. When the host moved on from the chaise…
