Kia Ora, Today we have DMS Fick in the house.Tell us a bit about who you are:I grew up in a town of three hundred people in rural Minnesota in the upper U.S. midwest, just south of Canada.

7 Days.
My Knight will be home next Monday! (He'll be home on a Monday somewhere around noon.)I think I have finally tracked down a broken [Leave a message] link here. (Not so much broken as there is a new one but it's been around for a while!)It's Wellington Anniversary Day today - doesn't mean much except … Continue reading 7 Days.

A few observations …
As you all know, I'm a writer and as such I read a lot. And I do tend to come across some 'interesting' books. You know what I do with the ones that absolutely astound me with their nonsense.

Don’t rock the boat …
Or do. It's entirely up to you. I was thinking about the new Veronica Tracey Spy/PI story that partly exists. There is definitely 'boat rocking' in that story.

Mostly because ME/CFS renders words to … Continue reading Don’t take it for granted.

After it ended a few really hard things happened so I think going back to Pain Management might be good idea. We had a couple of big … Continue reading 2024 is almost done.
It might be summer.
Today might be summer. Can't vouch for tomorrow and it definitely was not summer yesterday. Such fun. Every day we play 'guess the season' in the valley. In other news, the first round of edits are done. Now I know why my lovely editor refers to [IRL] as 'the one with all the hyphens'. I … Continue reading It might be summer.
Merry Christmas and Happy Whatever!
May your day be joyful no matter how you spend it. Remember to be grateful to all the carpenters (not just the most celebrated one), without them you wouldn't have a roof over your head. Drawn from Cards is a Christmas story - get in there!
