When people at work hear that I’ve written a book, or that I’ve got one in the works, they always ask something like, “When are you going to be rich and famous?” Now, I’ll admit, that when I was younger I just assumed that someday I would write books and…
A couple of days after my birthday in September I got a pet rat. He’s white with beige markings and a crescent moon in the middle of his forehead. Two weeks later I went back and bought his brother, a more typical Halloween rat with a brown gray coat and…
Sometimes I can be a little negative, but it occurs to me that I have a lot for which I can be grateful, too. In no particular order, here are a few… My parents are supportive, funny, loving people who go out of their way to bring joy into my…
I can’t believe I let this go for so long. So much has happened that it’s hard to catch up now. How about if I hit the highlights: Ren Fest was great and I have lots of pictures and videos that I hope to eventually get posted one day. Maria…
Renaissance Festival Pictures I arrived at Ren Fest at 10:05, just in time to hear the King order the gates of Revel Grove open. I just wandered and window shopped for about forty-five minutes. I got a couple of good pictures of King Henry and the dancers but nothing else…

I was driving home from work today and out of the blue I decided to call my cousin, Maria. Maria used to live with me until about 20 months ago when she went to Estonia on a mission for our church (LDS/Mormon). I haven’t spoken to her by email for…
Dad and I went on another walk tonight, but on the way to the B&A trail we got in an argument. He insisted that we had walked north yesterday while I had spent most of my lunch hour looking at maps of the trail and knew for a fact that…
With Ren Fest only 11 days away, I have got to get serious about getting ready. I dropped off my Ren Gear at the cleaners (I couldn’t face all of that ironing) and I’ll pick everything up next Thursday. They might as well store them instead of me, right? I…
