This Blog's Focus, or lack there of

Edith Wharton said "There are two ways of spreading light ...To be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it." That's what this blog is about, how the light of other people and the world around me have reflected off and in me. . .or other things when I need to write about other things, like walking, lizards, or fruit. There will be pictures of plants. All pictures are taken by me, unless noted.

I say what's on my mind, when it's there, and try to only upload posts that won't hurt or offend readers. However, readers may feel hurt or offended despite my good intentions. Blog-reading is a matter of free choice, that's what I have come to love about it, so if you are not pleased, surf on and/or leave a comment. I welcome any and all kind-hearted commentary.

It's 2012 and my current obsessions are writing and walking, sometimes at the same time. And books. I'm increasingly fascinated by how ebooks are transforming the physical book, forcing it to do more than provide printed words on a page.

Just Checking In

What has transpired since the beginning of September for life within reach:

  • My twelve year old Border Collie ate a sock that required surgical removal
  • I wrote a nearly 200 page technical document
  • I started taking an online poetry writing course, my first online class ever
  • I won and lost numerous Words with Friends games
  • I presented at an academic conference
  • Laundry was done


Life is busy and I would very much like a nap, followed by a good night's sleep; in short, to live like a cat.
