I’ve completed two days of my experiment in how much I move. Yesterday proved to be a more active day than day one. I was in motion more than I was sedentary. I cleaned, shopped, walked, hiked, exercised and generally moved more than I sat at the computer, wrote, or watched tv. I’d like to…
Day One of my experiment is over. For those who might not know what’s going on, I’m doing a week-long experiment that has two goals. One, I want to chart how I spend my time. Two, I need to make sure I move more often than I am. To that end, I have set up…
So, I’m running a wee experiment on myself. It occurs to me that I have become a bit too sedentary. Certainly, when I’m on the go, I’m out and running. But, when I’m at home, I’m noticing my tendency to sit (pretty still) and work and get stiff and hurt. It got me to thinking…
Despite the fun stories, (former) great chemistry among the actors, and the beauty of Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay, I’m breaking up with White Collar. First and foremost, what the heck has happened with the cast’s chemistry? Perhaps they took too much time off from filming but I’m used to rapid fire dialog that is…
I would like to remember everything about last night’s Samhain ritual at Curry College so I can relate it, but parts of it are hazy. That tends to happen during a deep ritual, but I will try to relate it as best I can. This was the second time I was asked to come priestess…
I’ve released two books. One is non-fiction and the other is fiction. The first “Life Elements,” I released back in 2008. It’s done well, and I periodically still do workshops and other marketing to boost sales. What hadn’t I done until yesterday? For whatever reason, I waited and waited and waited until more than five…
Ah, the day I’ve been dreading. It will be full of administrative work. Type this into the database. Enter that into the file and make PDFs. Oh and then read 130 pages of dry dry dry RFP to see if I can help with the thing I’ve been asked to help with. And then, more…
Last night, I had the best meeting with the couple I’m marrying in a few weeks. We ironed out the ceremony (which is going to rock and from which I can’t *wait* to see pictures) and I know my roles and responsibilities. Now, I have to find an all black gown and a good looking…
Ocean City Lowdown introduces Eastern Shore Maryland reporter Jamie August, who has a talent for unearthing more than her editor wants and a weakness for Ravens jerseys and sparkly underwear. Jamie’s tenacity, smarts, and sheer recklessness—plus some smokin’ striptease dance moves—can get her out of some tight spots, but are they enough to save her from…
