My Dad Was a Hero
My dad was a hero, and not just because he marched off to two wars in his youth. Like most of the Greatest Generation, his whole life was lived courageously. He inspired all of his six children to do better and be better. I wrote this tribute of him for the Pets in Space release (to promote…

Squirrels With Dissenting Opinions
Since the release of Pets in Space, we’ve been all about the pets around here, but I have not only been owned by domestic pets. Here’s a story you may have missed when it first posted: I have been owned by many pets, but I have also—entirely without planning—coexisted with what the hubs and I like…

Why Seven Steps Wrote The Slave Planet
I was the kid who scared her parents. I wore my jeans backwards, drew flowers on my face, told people I was from planet Venus, listened to rock music while sitting in my bedroom closet, and read entire books in a day. It didn’t surprise me that I was labeled as odd. Years later, during…

A Rough #Wormhole Ride!
Okay, he might not believe he’s gone through a wormhole, but honestly, living here in Cody this summer, is a bit like going through a wormhole, into THE past and into my past. I’ve loved being a Wyoming girl again, so it’s fun to share the hubs photos of his explorations of the area. If…
