Today’s Word

Today’s word is all me.  If I didn’t get yelled at so frequently for things like not eating or sleeping, I’d spend every evening writing until I ran out of words…or couldn’t keep my eyes open any more.  Heck, if I could find a way to pay the bills, I’d drop this job and spend […]

To Boldly Go

      To Boldly Go   In Oklahoma, we have this great media company, This Land Press, that tells the stories of our state that don’t get a lot of attention.  Through them, I’m learning a lot about the place I’ve spent more than half my life.  For example, today, I discovered that there […]

Decisions, Decisions

  Mental Floss sent me 23 Fun Facts About Firefly today. Now, I want to watch Firefly…and Serenity…again.  After a rather hectic few weeks, I think that is just what I’ll do this weekend…or a Hobbit marathon.  The Desolation of Smaug released on video this week, a marathon of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug […]

Expanding Your Seductive Power

Word of the Week (sorry for the alliteration)   This one kind of makes sense for me.  With a root that looks like the Greek mythical creature, chimera, it works.  The mythical beast is described as being part lion, goat, and snake.  Although, over the years, it has come to describe any creature comprised of […]
