The Nature of Magic
I believe in magic. I don’t mean illusions or parlor tricks, or Harry Potter. I mean wonder. I live in a world of stories and images, real and imagined. My life is a collection of moments of intense emotion, good and bad. I have boring normal times, like everyone else. Actually, I bet I have …

Product of My Surroundings

I Hate My Damned TV
Or: I have PMS Rage Issues Right Now I am not one of those pretentious sods who says they hate television and then launch into a diatribe about how worthless modern television is. I really enjoy some television, and some of it is really bad television. I can watch me some What Not to Wear …

Riding the Wave of Crazy
It is a glorious day outside in Oklahoma. I spent the earlier part of the day doing chores and running errands I had intended to spend the afternoon sitting outside writing. My laptop was taking a very long time to charge and update, and I had been up late the night before, so I slipped …

What is Up with That?
My awesome and wise friend Kathleen told me something her also awesome and wise mother told her: You can tell a lot about someone by how they treat strangers. I was a teenager or in my early twenties when she relayed that wisdom to me, and I was not old enough to get it. Now, …
