It’s been tough week so far. Really tough. I’ve got a major stressor at work that will be over one way or another next week – and went beyond what I thought the stresses of that were going to be. Compounded with that there were about 24 hours of super crappy (because according to Michael […]

Wow. Never gets better starting a year with a “memorial†post – and this week’s been a hard hitter. David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Brian Bedford, and now Dan Haggerty. All four died of cancer. Three of the four were under 75 (Bowie and Rickman were 69, Haggerty was 74). Many of these prompt a very […]

I’m going to round out this Thanksgiving Week with a sad note. As lovely as Thanksgiving was – we celebrated with family at our house (as has been the case since Jimmy and I were married) – it did end with some bad news – the passing of a friend. I’d like to tell you […]

Not long after I wrote the last Spotlight(ish) post, I found out about a passing. I am a product of 1970’s and 1980s television. Though I read a lot, I learned a lot of my story telling skills and pacing from television – and Action Television at that. Gene Roddenberry taught me a lot through […]
