I’m on a plane back to the West Coast today, leaving you the first of what will probably be several photoblogs from my trip back East. These “postcards” were created with the Postale app for iPad. It wasn’t a big vacation for reading, sadly, but it was a pretty good one for taking pictures, and there will be more to come… Posted with Blogsy Subscribe to Blog via Email Enter your email address to subscribe […]

Despite being told for years that we really needed to watch Arrested Development, and even being given the first season of the show on DVD as a Christmas gift one year, we didn’t take the bait until about a year ago–six years after its last episode aired. We never did get around to those DVDs, but my stepdaughter Kate shepherded us through the full run of the series on Netflix. Although this show lacks most of […]
Since the Linked-Up Wordless Wednesday crew solicited our May photo themes from the Moms in our lives, we’ve gone to the Dads for our June prompts. Today’s is “Sports (playing, watching, talking about..you know, guy stuff)” When it comes to spectator sports, I think minor-league baseball is major-league fun. Before I moved to Southern California, my home team was the Memphis Redbirds, AAA affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. Rooting for the home team: the […]
These photos were taken in and around New York City during my visit for Book Expo America 2012.

Time: Saturday evening, for posting Sunday morning Place: Home, which has been emptied of much surplus stuff this weekend: dozens of DVDs and CDs which have been rendered superfluous by digital media, plus about seven bags of clothing. I’m working up my strength to tackle the bookshelves… Eating: Nothing at the moment, as we just came home from one of our favorite Italian restaurants a little while ago. Drinking: Lots of water. Dinner made me […]

Time: Saturday evening, for posting Sunday morning Place: Home Eating: There are certain foods I associate with my childhood, and some of them are foods I’ve rarely found since. There was a certain type of bread we used to get at the bakery called a “tea biscuit”–a little crumbly, a little sweet, something like a scone, but plain. I discovered these Shortcake Biscuits at Trader Joe’s this weekend–I don’t think they’re the exact thing, but […]

Time: Early morning (it’s still “early” till 9 AM, right?) Place: Still in bed, writing on the iPad Eating: Nothing yet.

Drinking: Water that got a little too warm overnight. Reading: Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline, this month’s She Reads Book Club selection. Also, parts of […]
