Recently, I introduced Brenda Dayne to the musical stylings of my cousin Britt Sawdon.  As I suspected would happen, Brenda found Britt’s work to be her kind of thing and Britt’s permission was secured to play a couple of her songs on Cast-On.
I had been mulling over a third submission to the podcast, but hadn’t [...]

…Though we are sad here at Chez Writingortyping, because wee Milo is off to the vet for that… operation.  The one all good cat-owners have done if they don’t want to be vicarious kitten-mommas or -daddies.  So, despite the fact that I have been a lame blogger of late, I shall only give you a [...]

Marissa wants equal time for Tosh. Ah, I am in an accommodating mood this week (maybe it’s the turkey). So. Not quite so many photos, maybe, but very cute.

Who needs a catnap when you can have a dognap?

Tosh spent Thanksgiving with his cousin, Joey. We can tell who’s all about being [...]

This is why Northern Exposure, in all its loony, small-town glory made perfect sense to me.
*You do see the correct use of sarcastic font, don’t you?

Cici was kind enough to want to know what randomness I could come up with in eight easy bites.  Despite promising myself no memes, I realized I had several not-quite blog posts rambling around in my head, as well as some responses to stuff I had read, so I figured I’d come up with eight of [...]

Well, here’s a screamer of a headline: “Hollis Tightens up Rules at Transfer Station.”
Shorter Nashua Telegraph: don’t hang out at the dump.
Smug big-city folk can stop snickering.  Yes, we hicks really do consider the town dump to be a social center.  It’s also a great place to get a cat.

Like many Interweave Knits subscribers, I fell hard for Jared Flood’s Cobblestone sweater from the Fall issue. I flashed the photo at the husband, he approved (with a few suggested modifications to suit his own style and the intended use), I considered the stash for about a nanosecond and settled on some Beaverslide Dry [...]

Because apparently, that’s the key to his return to television.
