It’s Monday night in rural Douglas County. I’m relaxing with my family in the living room, watching a little TV and reviewing my material for tomorrow’s class. I’ll be teaching on west coast time, so my start time will be a little later for me than normal, but a half an hour isn’t that big …

It’s a beautiful Saturday night, with a sunset painted in layers of pink and blue. I am feeling lucky and blessed tonight, as my home is filled with happy people, two dogs, and puppy. Might be a spider lurking in the furnace room, but we don’t need to dwell on that. Might freak out my …

It’s Saturday night in rural Douglas County, and I have a puppy at my feet. I’m watching an old BBC show, and looking at ways to compare one of the characters on this show to an urban fantasy series I started listening to by (I hope I get this right) Benedict Jacka, featuring a character …

We have a new member of the family tonight, and the little guy isn’t real happy about our sleeping arrangements. He’s crying pretty hard in the crate/pen we have set up for him in our bedroom, and right now Lucy is not real happy with the little guy either, barking at him and letting him …
