I just got home from a nice night out with T– and her family. She was my best friend from the time I was 5 until we went away to college. We kept in touch after that, but this is the first time I’ve seen her in a decade. Much like the visit to Raleigh, […]
We just returned from a lovely dinner with Rob’s parents at Cafe Frida. They were on a whirlwind tour of the mainland and stopped by NYC for the weekend. Sadly, I missed them last night and only saw them this evening when I came home from working on the moth. I thought that they were
Finally, we got our futon. Whew. We also picked up a gorgeous bookcase from the early 1900s. The folks that sold us the futon said, “Need anything else?” And we said, “Bookcases?” Behold, for reasons that are unclear to me, they wanted to get rid of this glassfront bookcase which had belonged to the husband’s

This falls into the category of things that I wonder if I should blog about. See, my parents are going to worry, but there are enough things that make me cranky that I’m going ahead with it. Let’s discuss the importance of obeying traffic laws, shall we? As I was biking to work this morning,

I’m lucky that my brother is visiting our parents in Chattanooga and has offered to celebrate in my stead. Rob’s dad is out of luck though. Sorry, Glenn! Once again, we are ungrateful wretches. I hope that the weather is beautiful where you are, and that you get to do everything you want to do
Happy Father’s Day! Read More »
Rob’s parents arrived in ReykjavÃk today. They were scheduled to come in this evening, but caught an earlier flight. This is wonderful because I’m going to London today and thought I was going to miss them. So we’re off to have lunch, then they’ll drive me to the airport and go play with Rob. I’ll
Things on set have been very busy and while Dean was here I didn’t want to update my journal in the evenings. We are between company right now, although I just heard that our friend Wayne will be coming to visit us soon and that Rob’s folks will follow after that. I’m looking forward to
We headed out today to Skaftafell, the glacier that I took Mom and Dad to when they came to visit last time. When we left town, it was overcast and rainy, and I was worried that a lot of the scenery would be obscured by clouds. That turned out to be a needless concern. As
I nearly forgot to tell you that the house moved! Thank heavens. My parents must be so relieved.
I just sold Cerbo in Vitra ujo to Apex Digest. It will probably be in Issue 6, which comes out in June, but I’ll post for certain when I know the date. I’m thrilled, although it is an icky, icky story–my first foray into horror. This will be the first sale that I don’t give

As you know, my parents are having the log house moved from Walter’s property down to ours. Today, the movers dropped an oak tree on it. Yep. A tree. Not a small one either. The plus side is that it just knocked the eave of the corner of the house. But really. Do you think
What’s that tree doing on my house? Read More »
I forgot to mention that we got the modeling shots back. As a tease, I’ll let our parents know that we’ve sent a photo off to Hawaii and Tennessee, but I won’t post a copy of it. Cruel, I know. Here’s a couple to tide you over.
