I’ve been writing love letters to Rob every night and tucking them in places that I know he’ll look when he gets home. There’s one in the refrigerator. One under his journal — but not inside, as that would have required opening it. One on his computer. I’ll leave one on his pillow. ((He doesn’t […]

I talked to Rob very briefly tonight. The area he’s in gets spotty cellphone coverage, at best, so I’ve had one text message from him, but otherwise it’s been radio silence. He found a place tonight where, if he didn’t turn his head, I could hear him. le sigh. I miss him. Which is absurd,
Alas. We could not fit all of the gear on the bike and leave room for me. I will be in town this weekend after all. Rob headed off safely.

I’m only home for fifteen days this month. Yesterday was the only full day that Rob and I will have together until August 11th. He’s leaving to go to Canaan for a film shoot today and returns the 17th, the day that I leave for Readercon. We might overlap that day, but likely not. I

After two fun-filled weeks of writer’s retreat and a medical emergency, I’m heading from one home back to the other. I’ll see Rob tonight and get to spend two days with him, before we begin a month of out of town trips, each of which has us poised to arrive back in NYC on the

I totally missed this last week. But we moved to NYC on June 28 last year. It’s been an interesting year. I’ve been so busy that I can barely breathe, but Rob spent then entire year looking for work. And that’s almost literal. He sold his first article a bare two days before our one
The show that used the moose head ended today and Rob handled the process of picking the props up from the theater for me. He just sent me this email about moving the moose. It’s in our hall now but we had to walk it up the stairs. Comically, we managed to coax it into
My husband, wrote an article about New York city winery in Decanter magazine. This autumn a new winery will open its doors among the luxury shops, avant-garde theatres and loft residences of New York’s SoHo City Winery is New York’s first ‘private label winery’ where members can vinify their own barrel of wine, managing its

Rob says: Broken turn signal, broken clutch lever (I just went to BMW and paid $157 for a replacement to make the cycle rideable while I wait for the insurance adjuster to call), damaged front fender, damaged hand guard, damaged exhaust pipe, and shredded cover. That’s what I can see at the moment. I’m going
Rob signed up for the virtual ticket line last night and, much to our surprise, won tickets to the show. We’re going after all. Just in case you don’t know about the virtual line: While the majority of Free tickets for Shakespeare in the Park are distributed via the Free line at the Delacorte Theater,

Rob and I left the apartment at the same time today, which is a rare occurrence. I kissed him goodbye, got on the train and he headed off to ride his motorcycle. When I got off the train, my phone rang. Rob. He rarely calls me, so I had a sinking sensation. “Hi. What’s wrong?”
Our friend Daddi is in town for a big expo and he brought us several packs of our favorite Icelandic treat. Flatkökur are flat cakes, that sort of look like burned crepes. Made with rye flour, they are sooooo tasty and I’ve missed them a lot. There’s nothing comparable here.
We have flatkökur! Read More »
I don’t talk about my writing process all that much on this site because every writer has their own way of figuring things out. That and I generally find it dull, but the motorcycle ride yesterday reminded me of a trick that I find handy and you might, too. I spent a lot of time

For the first time since Halloween, I left the city for non-work reasons. Rob and I took a ride on his motorcycle up to a little town on the Hudson. So cute and so many antique stores. We didn’t buy anything, but it was so nice to have the leisure to just poke into shops

Today was, if not lazy, at least filled with dull work. I got home from that around seven and took the evening off. Granted, I had stuff to get done, like, say, the last of the fifty bajillion edits in Shimmer. But it’s been so long since Rob and I were both home in the
