Moose is on duty. The neighborhood is safe.

Brilliant. #wisdom

Flashback to summer ‘cause I needs it.

Ooh, $10,000 half-court shot! Swish! #ClevelandCavaliers 🏀

My novella THE UNGRATEFUL DEAD starts out w/ PI couple, a la Thin Man, as guest speakers at coroners conference. Which is what hub & I once did (we were keynote speakers). I know, how crazy is that? Crazy enough I wrote a story about it :) #HumorousMystery #Colorado www.amazon.com/Ungrateful-D...

Same! 😂 If I could have a superpower, teleportation is what it would be. As long as my molecules and clothes stay intact...

My word for 2026 is REDIRECTION, as in, whenever my brain ruminates on the negative or on things I can’t control, I’ll try to redirect it to something more pleasant or productive. We’ll see how well that goes… #NewYear2026 🎉

Have I mentioned how much I love winter? NOT! Glad my husband is driving. 🥴

2026 eve starting off with some So Cal Purple Rain 🎶 clouds and cheers to all of you great people 🥂 ☮️🕊️

Well, we’ve almost made it another year. Goodbye 2025. Then again, the day is still young. Plenty of time for more mishaps. 😵‍💫

EXCUSE me—we would like the food in our bowl to be rearranged into a perfect pyramid. Thank you

Ooh, story prompt!

Not too shabby, but I didn’t reach my goal of 75 books read. Guess I shot too high. 😎📚

How I'm walking out of 2025

Well, it’s the thought that counts… The thought!

Merry Christmas! The latest WSW chat is posted. We discuss writing villains and quoting reviews. (Not to be confused with writing reviews and quoting villains--something I do frequently.🙂) youtu.be/GdNt6pu0DkM

“Ho ho ho, I still want to eat you.” Christmas-lights tour at the zoo last night. 🦁🎄

I just used a drill for the first time to mount my Dustbuster charger, and I’m so proud of myself it’s stupid.

I’ve never had to knock on wood But I know someone who has 🪶📷📸 #Birds

Kumail Nanjiani on The View: “Night thoughts—you know, they’re like day thoughts only they hate you.” Lol I can so relate to that. Nothing like middle-of-the-night thoughts to fill you with worry! 😂

Beautiful Christmas flowers from my son and his girlfriend. Even includes a cardinal on the vase—my husband’s favorite bird! ❤️🌹

Belfast - a rainy day in the Titanic Quarter #Ireland #Travel #Photography #Belfast #Titanic

My motivation to keep working out every morning. ❤️

Eight hours on my feet and 5 types of cookies later, I am officially done with my Christmas baking. 🎄 And now I look like this. #wiredandtired

CAN YOU HEAR MEOWWW? #caterday #caturday #catsofbluesky

Not if you value your life.

Pretending it’s summer in my mind and this is what I see outside my window instead of gray and cold. 🌸

Lol, something to consider.

By this point at least 90% of the microplastics in my body are from Christmas decoration glitter.

My husband and I are escaping to Columbus for a couple of days. Because that’s how exciting our lives are. And wow, such breathtaking scenery on the drive…

Clearly a cat who wants for nothing. 😂

Pretty tree in my mom’s building. 🎄

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

A big NOOOOO from me too. 😩❄️

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness." — John Steinbeck I’ll try to embrace that quote, but it’s unlikely I’ll succeed. 🥶

Sunset through the trees.

Lol this restaurant has the same wishlist as authors.

Something bleak this way comes.

Yeah, I see you 🐾❤️

Saw Steve Martin and Martin Short’s “In Conversation” show last night, joined by Kevin Nealon. Lots of fun! “The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.” — E. E. cummings

The observatory closed too early in their opinion
