Ah, Writers Block… (Should say “Writer’s” but SEO won’t allow me to spell it correctly. Pretty ironic for someone writing a blog post about being a “writer.”) For every person, and especially writers, the term “Writer’s Block” can have many different meanings. For me, it’s characterized by an inability to tap into my inner source, […]

Most Endangered: Colorado River Colorado depends on it. Wyoming depends on it. Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, California and Nevada depend on it. A total of seven states and the entire Southwest region of the United States rely on the Colorado River for farming, energy and survival. Without water sourced from the Colorado River, how would […]

Pet-A-Palooza 2013: A Doggy Review Radio station Mix 94.1 hosted their 14th Annual Pet-A-Palooza this past Saturday, April 13, 2013.

At least as a busy working adult, with a boyfriend, hobbies, etc. etc… and no personal attachment to the more traditional aspects of it.

Planet Earth is approximately 4.54 billion years old. That’s really, really old, right? Older still is our Universe. 13.77 billion years old is the estimate of […]

Lately (especially these days), I’ve been so tempted to write a long bitch fest of a post. But, this is supposed to be a “professional” blog, and it wouldn’t be very “professional” to dump a crap-load of negativity out into the open. But, you know what? It’s MY blog… and I call the shots! I’m […]

Tender Loving Care I’m a couple of days late on my March month review. Understandably, I have been dealing with my father’s sudden death, extra family bonding time, and playing catch-up at work; and, therefore, have had other priorities.

In Honor of Mark Mizzoni Below is the eulogy that I wrote, and then read at my dad’s service. Writing this and then reading it was so healing. After I wrote it, I couldn’t wait to get to the service to read it. It was as if my dad was communicating through me. It’s something […]

Non-Technical Review of the Nikon D800 I started working on a technical review of the Nikon D800, but got side-tracked by thoughts about what I’d learned while renting it. I certainly have a lot to say about the technical aspects of the Nikon D800 and how the experience has affected my purchasing decision. However, my […]
