I was recently chatting with a friend, discussing wander lust, and wondering why mine isn’t quite as bad as it used to be. Â Then it hit me–I live vicariously through my characters, and so get to explore fantastic worlds and enjoy far off adventures on a regular basis! Â Such is the joy of being a

The Buzz of a Lightning Strike

After a long day of WriteOnCon brain-crashing, I remembered that beach vacations involve time on the beach and packed up the towels, bags, and beach toys.Â Only to be met by this– BOOM!!! Yep, a big ol’ eastern storm.Â The kind that makes me want to throw caution to the wind and run for the

A Taste of the South

25MarchSuzanne12 CommentsExploring (travel), The Human Condition

I’ve never been a huge fan of southern cooking, so I was a little wary of trying any restaurant that was too authentically southern.Â No grits, livers, or fried okra for me!Â I like my food to fall into categories I would roughly describe as identifiable and, um, within a stone’s throw of “normal”. Anyway,

It’s funny, when I think of our trip to Great Smokies National Park and Gatlinburg, I think of tears andÂ burning,Â despite myÂ rating it one of our best trips ever!Â No one cried while we climbed up to Ramsey Cascades except my legs and feet, whichÂ whimpered the last 2 miles!Â Logging in at a strenuous 12.75, this

All my life I’ve had wanderlust–and I’m not talking about going to see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.Â Wonderous as that sight may be, many of the places I long toÂ visit are a little further from home.Â I want toÂ breathe the spray ofÂ Angel Falls, spend a night at the South Pole Station, take

I think this may be the longest I’ve ever neglected my blog–nearly two weeks!Â But, at least I have a really, really good excuse.Â I got an— !!! No, I can’t say it.Â Not even as a joke.Â Somebody would be sure to believe me and then word would spread and pretty soon everyone would

Message In A Bottle

Facebook, email, texting…if you’re anything like me, sending letters in the mail as a form of communication sounds really, really sloooow.Â But what if you couldn’t even use the good old red flag on your mailbox, and had to send your messages by bottle and cork?Â What would you say? Me, I think I’d write

When we got back from the beach, our fish tank had sprouted a leak (down in the sump) and was leaking salt water all over our living room.Â Â GuessÂ our fishÂ wanted to come with.Â I can’t blameÂ them for trying, but I’m afraid that turning the living room into a massive salt water tank just isn’t an option.Â
