The year ahead…
This is going to be a do or die year… Here’s my list… If nothing else, I must find an agent to take on “The Sundial”. If you see one, please let me know. I will bag them and invite you over for dinner. How do you like your agent? My personal favorite is with orange glaze, made of heather honey and...

I knew this would happen…
Didn’t I know? Of course I did. How can one write seriously and keep a full time job? After two years of having a lot of time on my hands, I am now in the unfortunate position of having to work again… I mean, I had to. Debt was starting to weigh on us. The jewelry business is not moving fast enough...

Oh no, they’re coming back…
Well, this is it. My last evening alone. Tomorrow they’ll be back. That means no more music blaring ‘til 3 in the morning. No more thoughtful brandies and uninterrupted blogging with all you great people. Oh, it also means some very delicious dishes and desserts on the table. Hmmm, does that sound...

All alone…arf! arf! Well, with Lykona…
Sasha left to go to Athens yesterday. We were supposed to go together, but since I got that job yesterday, I thought it would be best to stay behind and catch up on my knowledge of high end business software, greek accounting practices and terminology.:-( But hey, I got to miss traditional Christmas...

Back to the screen, the mouse and the keyboard…
Well, I went ahead and did it! Yes, after seven years of abstaining from offering my services to the Establishment, poverty, debt and my desire to get a new computer have led me back to offering my services to “them”! Who are they? Well, big business, who else? What are my services? I install,...

A book and a latte
I went to town today. Stopped by for some groceries. Dropped into a friend’s restaurant to say hi. And then off to Billy Joe’s for my daily latte. After a year of living on the mountain and seeing people every other week or so, now that I’m only five minutes away from town, I’ve gotten into the...

Solstice, the longest night and the rebirth of the sun…
Christmas is usually the worst time if year for me. On the one hand are the memories of childhood. Christmas was a fun time back then. The whole family got together, school was out for a while and there were lots of presents for everybody. For Orthodox Greeks, Christmas was never a big celebration,...

The sun is going down…
Monday afternoon and the sun is going down. I am listening to The Verve on the stereo, Lykonas is out and about, Sasha at school teaching and I am trying to find order in my life… oh, and Anel just sent me a message telling me we’ve sold some more pieces of jewelry… That’s always good news when...

Some mushrooms, a coffee and Blogit…
Ah, the forest! What a delightful place! Lyconas running about and sniffing at all kinds of things, looking to see who’s been around…you know, the canine turf thing… Everything was moist and smelling of fresh earth. You could almost smell the mushrooms! Picked a nice basketful, going to party it up...

The rain will not stop…
and I have olives to pick! But what the heck! There are mushrooms to be picked as well. Yes, I love this time of year. There are all kinds of things growing in the forests. Bright orange ones, apricot colored ones, white ones and brown ones. I love picking mushrooms! Often I come back with ten or...
