Weekend Blitzer

4AprilSuzanne4 CommentsExploring (travel), Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers, Writing

After quizzing the aquarium staff at the Georgia Aquarium until they must have wondered if I was some kind of secret shopper for all things fishy,Â then heading over for a two parts delight, one part miseryÂ visit toÂ the Terracotta warriors (the misery was due to our arriving at the same time as the school groups), we

Older By the Minute

3AprilSuzanne3 CommentsHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Our son is now twelve, and starting to take an interest in music.Â We were sitting aroundÂ our hotel eating dinnerÂ when he asked me when the Beatles first played. Not being much of a music historian I answered, “Quite a while ago–before my time.” He nodded knowingly,Â “Oh, so in the 1800’s?” Â Apparently he’s also

Sore Feet in Atlanta

1AprilSuzanneExploring (travel), Writing

First, happy April Fool’s Day!Â I’d planned on coming up with some clever joke for the blog, but expended all my cleverness trying to get back in the house in an obnoxious and early April Fool’s joke I played on myself. Sigh.Â Maybe next year.Â After a very rocky start on Tuesday in which the

WOTF Priority

27MarchSuzanne6 CommentsWriting

My latest Writer’s of the Future entry walked itself out the door today.Â This time I sent it priority mail, to make up for the fact that I spent approximately ten weeks longer editing thisÂ story then I’d planned.Â Anecdotally, this is the first story or novel I’ve ever written that retained the same title from

Facebook Names

26MarchSuzanne3 CommentsThe Human Condition

I’ve noticed that many of my FB friends use their entire name for their FB profile.Â This is helpful in finding friends from one’s past, and relatives from both sides of the family.Â Of course, it also puts a woman’s maiden name out on the internet, assuming she changed it when she married.Â Given the

Defining Malaise

25MarchSuzanne2 CommentsHome in the Rookery

I’ve felt a bit like molasses which has been stretched farther than it’s quite comfortable reaching for the last couple weeks, but I assumed that was thanks to my crazy life and thought no more of it. As it turns out, I’ve been suffering from Malaise. Now, I didn’t think that was a medical term

Happy Pinch Day

17MarchSuzanne2 CommentsHome in the Rookery, The Human Condition

This morning I pulled a green plaid turtleneck from the closet, even though it’s not a favorite shirt and the weather would have allowed for something cooler.Â You’d think this was just a wise precaution on Patty’s Day, but I didn’t even realize that this most beloved of all pinching holidays had arrived. Except, maybe,

Bobbing Heads

11MarchSuzanne3 CommentsHome in the Rookery, Writing

It’s been a while since I blogged, but if you were to turn my life of lateÂ into a picture metaphor, I’d be shown standing mid-stream andÂ fullyÂ submerged except my head, bobbing on top of the water. This may not sound incredibly comfortable, but it beats being six inches further submerged, I’m sure you’d agree.Â And, assuming

Snowed Inn

2MarchSuzanne1 CommentHome in the Rookery

There’s nothing quite like a snow day when you didn’t want to go anywhere, anyway.Â This particular snow fall was especially generous, as it left us with power–nice, when you DO want to be in touch with the world and have a nice warm house. And it’s also delightful packing snow.Â This made for fun

Introducing Ezekiel

27FebruarySuzanne2 CommentsHome in the Rookery

This is a tad belated, as he actually came home Tuesday night, but he wouldn’t sit still long enough to get his picture taken and I couldn’t toss up a post without a pic, now could I? So, this is Ezekiel, aka Zeke.Â He’s half Rottie, half German Shepherd, and about to celebrate his one
