What a DE-Lightful Time I Had with TrekMates Wayne and Jude!
Oh my gosh… I just got off a Skype interview with the hosts of TrekMate, Wayne Emery and Jude Hawkins. We spent an hour and fifteen minutes discussing the book and my long association and friendship with the Kelleys. They want me back, and I want to go back, too. What a fabulous chat…
Weight Loss Made Easier…
As many of you know, I was recently without a vehicle for a couple of weeks. Whenever I had somewhere I wanted or needed to go, Lisa would drive me. (She lives about a mile away and we often travel together, anyway, whenever we shop for groceries, see a movie, and pursue other mutually-beneficial pursuits–walking…
The Song Greg Barton Heard Immediately After Finishing My Audio Book
The song that Greg Barton heard immediately after finishing the audio book version of DeForest Kelley Up Close and Personal: A Harvest of Memories from the Fan Who Knew Him Best affected him to the core of his being. “It was destiny that it should come on just as the last voice mails in…

Yelm Writers’ Circle — What a Great Group of People!
Once in a while (not often enough!) I meet an “affinity group”–people who feel instantly like they’re a part of my “tribe”. The Yelm Writers’ Circle is one of those. These bright, inquisitive, talented people are young (16), young-at-heart (Baby Boomers), and everything in between. They’re accomplished, striving, interested and interesting people. They’re from…

Complaint-Free World Update
My Complaint-Free World bracelet is amazing in so many ways! It has revolutionized my life already. Wearing it, I’m far more cognizant of what comes out of my mouth these days, and of what’s inside my mind that causes me to want to complain over things that either cannot be changed (one example…
What a Crock!
I’ve been making soups in my crock pot for a couple of weeks now and, so far, haven’t screwed up a single batch. I’m loving every single serving to the nth degree. If I’d known how easy it was–and frugal–to make homemade soups that totally satisfy, I would have been doing this for a…
