Inside information from a recruiter

Mystery Author! Episode 2

This is the second installment where I have typed up something delicious by a famous author for your reading pleasure. As a reminder, we play this game: You don’t know who wrote it until the end. Rule: Don’t cheat by scrolling all the way down first (unless you’re a douchebag who likes to ruin good […]

Mystery Author! Episode 1

For the longest time, I’ve had a great blog idea. I wanted to type up a chapter from various books I love for your entertainment… and not tell you who the author is until the end. That’s the fun part. I never followed up due to the enormous work it entails, and other competing priorities. […]

Erowid Tuesday

I did two posts yesterday, and they were both so stupid that I trashed the drafts. I am capable of writing fairly well, but lately that writing happens in my head while I am walking or out on a trail. I am not one to stop my hike and pull my device out of the […]

Reclaiming Sundays

It’s nice to have my Sundays back, I have to say. Free to hike. Free to go to the store and get a mix of non alcoholic beer and Gatorade for me and B to work while it’s hot and stick it in mini coolers. Free to do whatever. Yesterday was good. Some of this […]

New Horizons

I am feeling a bit moody today, so I decided to purposely use a positive-sounding title to hopefully make myself feel a little more positive. Well…one of the Event Host gals decided to own the Meetups I stepped down from. She has her work cut out for her. I laughed as I read her intro […]

Cute Animal Videos

I uploaded some videos that I wanted to share. The newest ones are first. The first video features cats and squirrels checking each other out. It starts off slow, but stick with it… and you see my squirrels and B’s two cats checking each other out. They are both like “WTF?” This is Govinda Marty […]

Da Witch Emerges

A Worthy Republish

Last week I looked up this blog on Gizoogle.net. Not all posts were available, however, my feature about Grace was available to run through the Gizoogle filter. I was so pleased with the results that I decided to Republish some of it here. To see the original Grace feature, click below. The original is awesome […]

The Aurora Lamp

The pictures did not adequately capture the amazing magic of this thing. Then I remembered all about YouTube… and videos and stuff. I was also just talking about SP, and I have the lamp sitting next to the SP flag. Which makes it even cooler because the flag features the same color palette as the […]

Song of The Month – Eric Burdon doing House of the Rising Sun

I like to do Song of The Month features. It’s fun too… because I call them song of the month but sometimes it’s only twice a year. I just do them when I feel like it. 😁 Today features House of The Rising Sun by Eric Burdon and The Animals. I fuckin’ love Eric Burdon. […]

Version Battle – You Keep Me Hanging On

This post is inspired by Grace. I needed breakfast material, so she did me a favor. Grace is apparently not a fan of girl groups or the overproduction of Motown sound. Whereas, The Supremes doing this song makes my nipples hard, and it inspires a desire for me to walk in circles in my living […]

Introducing… Holly (who surprised me with her fiction talent!)

I enjoy promoting other fantastic bloggers. I’ve actually promoted Holly once before in the past, but this is before I learned that she is a talented fiction writer! She used to simply journal. I promoted her in the past because her online diary was (and still is) hilarious at times. She still journals, but now […]

Surfacing. And reflections on the comfort of family.

Sometimes you just have to go where everybody knows your name. I had Blogger open, but I ended up coming over here for my Blog and Eat session. Fact is, I am in a challenging situation here. Although I am handling it well. As I normally do, until I inevitably decide to get drunk. But […]

Mystery Author! Episode 3

It’s been a while since I’ve done Mystery Author. In this feature, I type up a chapter (or more) from a famous book or other source for your reading pleasure. The fun part is you don’t find out who the author is until the end. This one is incredibly special. Consequently, it’s much longer than […]

Introducing…Grace St. Clair

I follow some fabulous writers, and I enjoy promoting them so that people who enjoy my blog can get to know other writers I follow. Today is all about Grace. Now, that link is Grace’s current blog… but today I want to talk about her old blog on Blogger. It has some jewels. If […]

Caroline, Part 3

Memories are fuzzy, but Caroline and I spent more time together. We went to bars together a couple of times. She insisted on driving, and I have a delightful memory of pulling into a gas station and watching a couple of guys become absolutely enthralled as Caroline stepped out of the vehicle. She was slender […]

Caroline, Part II

Part 2 of the Caroline Story…

Winter Hiking

I’m in the mood to share photos, I guess. Most of these are from last winter, local trails around my home in Olympia. There’s a couple exceptions which I have noted. I am ready for winter again. July and August are not my favorite months in Washington.
