Life in Words and Pictures (Our Story)
for Russell The first time I saw your face, long after I had given up on the existence of anyone like you, even love, something magical happened. Your warmth and your smile drew me in and our delightfully easy conversation intrigued me. I dared to learn more about this gorgeous dark haired, green...

Life in Words and Pictures (God Bless us all, everyone!)
As is common this time of year, I attended a Christmas program at a local church in which my children were performing. I expected the shepherds and wisemen in bathrobes, the humorous turns ill-spoken lines could take, and the delight of parents and grandparents and church members. What I did not...

Life in Words and Pictures (truth in the expression . . . .)
I have been listening to and singing some old Linda Ronstadt songs recently, and came across one I had forgotten about, and what wisdom in it! It is an old song written by Jimmy Webb, whose writings on the craft of songwriting I have looked into in the past. This is the title and subject of the...

Life in Words and Pictures (tie me up and burn me down!)
I asked my students for volunteers, some to bring in the stake and tie me up, and the others to soak me with gasoline and set me on fire. "Tie me up and burn me down." They laughed, and they got it. Wow, and here I thought it was 2006 and I was teaching an adult college class in ethics, and 99% of...

Life in Words and Pictures (a favorite quote)
Just thought I would share a favorite quote with you that I saw on a bumper sticker a couple years ago. I believe it was originally spoken by a former First Lady, but do not recall which specific one even if that is the correct source. But it sometimes inspires me and reminds me to stick to my...

Life in Words and Pictures (mothers-in-law and their . . . )
Isn't it something how some mothers-in-law grow these self-indulgent entitled beasts they try to pass off as sinless golden boys, enabling them in every possible addiction and perversion? And if that is not enough, even IF the man boy, or rather person with a penis, finally does grow balls enough to...

Life in Words and Pictures (fun new words and my pic/blog on myspace)
I have a new book that is for my writing craft and is fun and informative. It is called The Meaning of Tingo by Adam Jacot de Boinod, just out by Penguin Press of New York. I love it! If you are a word freak as I am, you will find it well worth the dinero. Just for fun, I wanted to share some of the...

Life in Words and Pictures (me)
I was thinking my readers might like seeing who they were reading and sometimes replying to, both of which I hope will happen more frequently. At my brother's suggestion, I also began placing a column on myspace.com, and have enjoyed it somewhat. Yet I find that, probably because it is a free and...

Life in Words and Pictures (cheating husbands)
No wonder cheating songs are such a historically popular thing. I find Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" and "Wasted" timely and inspiring. I just spent about an hour interviewing one of many of his partners, and recording for an upcoming hearing, and collecting her statements to take to the...
