There has been a lot of interest lately on the issue of trigger warnings. For those who may not know, a trigger warning is a label put on something (books, films, music, blog posts, forum questions, anything, really) that may have content that could disturb another person. I found this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/18/us/warning-the-literary-canon-could-make-students-squirm.html?_r=2 which explains how … Continue reading Monday Musings: Trigger Warning: My View on Trigger Warnings

Monday Musings: Full House
No, I don't mean the 90's sitcom, although we did watch that one faithfully. I mean my own house on Saturday. We did Easter dinner then, since most of the family was able to make it on that day. The only one missing was Steph, since she had to work. She came over for dinner … Continue reading Monday Musings: Full House

Monday Musings: Change is Fun?
We recently decided to migrate most of our shared virtual world to Google apps. We are doing this mainly because it was getting more and more difficult to coordinate everything across multiple computers, phones, tablets, and all the other electronic goodies that have become so much a part of everyone's life. Just trying to keep … Continue reading Monday Musings: Change is Fun?

Monday Musings: Vacation’s over, and It’s Back to the (Virtual) Real World
Yes, I know it's not April just yet, but since this is a Monday post, I'm putting it up here today. When we left off at the beginning of the month, I had decided to take the rest of March off from most of the internet. No blogs, no social media, nothing of that nature. … Continue reading Monday Musings: Vacation’s over, and It’s Back to the (Virtual) Real World

Wednesday Wanderings: This Time, I’m the One Wandering (Away)
Good morning! As some have noticed, there has been a lack of blog posting lately. I have excuses. Oh, yes, I do have excuses. “We were away.” For one weekend. Nope, not good enough. “The puppy, you see, takes up a lot of time.” He does, yes. But there are also times when he is … Continue reading Wednesday Wanderings: This Time, I’m the One Wandering (Away)

Monday Musings: The Olympics
It is time for the Winter Olympics again, and that means it is also time for all the Olympics haters to come out of the woodwork. There are a lot of them, it seems. Now, I don't really care if you love or hate the games. I happen to like them, especially the Winter games. … Continue reading Monday Musings: The Olympics

Monday Musings: Puppy Update, She’s Moving Out!, and C-c-c-c-cold
Lambeau is doing fine. He has gotten visibly bigger since we brought him home just a few weeks ago. Had him to the vet for his second set of shots. He goes back next month for the last round, and his rabies. He will start on heartworm medication, as well. The vet did think he … Continue reading Monday Musings: Puppy Update, She’s Moving Out!, and C-c-c-c-cold

Monday Musings: Puppy In The House, Piano Tuning, and the Chili Cookoff I May Regret
Could someone please remind me why I wanted a puppy? I am kidding. Sort of. I mean, he is stinkin' cute, but boy, oh, boy, is he ever a puppy. There are times when all you hear in the house is: Lambeau, No! Lambeau, Off! Bad Dog! He is not really a terrible dog. He … Continue reading Monday Musings: Puppy In The House, Piano Tuning, and the Chili Cookoff I May Regret

Monday Musings: Bringing the Magic Back
I have always loved to write. For as long as I remember, I have been writing: stories, essays, even a few (terrible) poems. Writing has been so many things to me, and at times, far more than just a creative endeavor. It has been my best friend, where I can talk about fear, pain, sorrow, … Continue reading Monday Musings: Bringing the Magic Back

Monday Musings: Puppy!
As many of you know, we had to euthanize our chocolate Lab at twelve years old recently. We knew we would get another dog fairly soon, but I intended to wait until after the holidays. Not that our holiday season is hectic, or includes a lot of travel, and such, but it is a busier … Continue reading Monday Musings: Puppy!
