I found this link and loved the article on Anne Rice. I must admit I haven’t read many of her vampire novels. I’m just not a horror buff, but I know many who have. And I do respect her work as an author. I think the article speaks for itself. I applaud Speakeasy Magazine [...]

This impressed me so much. Kris Delmhorst’s ‘Yellow Brick Road’ (album Five Stories [2001]). I’m off to see the wizard in his castle on the hill And I never once have known him and I do not know him still Because his face it is magnificent but you’ll never see his hands And the [...]

I do not generally do shoutout news blurbs here, but I had to! I love Carolyn Arends. That is no secret to those who know me well. She is a personal hero of mine, a fellow L’Engle and other lit. lover, an artist, an incredible wife and mother, and so much more. I would [...]

When I have time, I love to monkey around on YouTube. That is not the new love. I love Broadway musicals. That’s not new news either. My new love are the YouTube clips of Wicked the Broadway musical about the tale of the Wicked Witch of the West of Oz fame. I am so [...]
