Nothing spells Labor Day like a CostCo cheesecake? Though the snacks were particularly toothsome today… right down to mini-sundaes with brownies, ice cream, and chocolate syrup. The damage to our roof and bathroom ceiling turned out to be relatively minimal. We had a tiny hole in the roof repaired for $100, and we have about […]
First, do you live in or around Tallahassee, and use T-Mobile? I ask because I could go on a corporate cell phone (which would be a nice thing, all said) but I’m unclear how good T-Mobile is here in town. Second, Ninth Letter noted that I am a contributor “forthcoming in Fall/Winter 2008,” which pleaseth […]
We had been considering ourselves super-super fortunate — we didn’t have a tree crash into our house, we aren’t in a flood plain (maybe in a 1000 years, but right now our house is on a hillock in an elevated section in the west part of Tallahassee), we didn’t have to drive in this mess… […]

(I work in Georgia, if that makes a difference.) At MPOW, we interviewed Aflac and Allstate, and […]
As promised, here are the links from today’s workshop (plus any more I added AFTER the workshop). Thanks for showing up! I’m writing this in advance, but I’m sure we had fun. Here’s the link to Tallahassee Writers’ Association. Come to a meeting! Our next meeting is Thursday, August 21 at the American Legion. I’ll […]
I’ve been on this car-purchasing odyssey, made wild and crazy because it’s the summer when people will do irrational things to purchase fuel-efficient vehicles, including paying way above reasonable street value. I changed tactics to a new car late in the game, when I could not find a used Honda that met my specifications through […]
