When you have some time for yourself

Shawn and I seem to be checking out each other’s blogs/journals for goodies. The following is something I’ve meant to do for a while. For various reasons, last year was a difficult one for me. When I said that to Tim one night, he said, “But when was the last time you had a year you felt that way about?” When I thought about his question, it completely shifted my focus to how many really great years I’ve had since the last “bad year.” Since next year’s going to be a bit of a landmark for me (can you believe I’ll turn 35 AGAIN???), it’s a good time for reflection.

Going Postal

It’s happy mail day! Mail from Lisa in Iowa, Todd in Wisconsin, George in Ohio, Greg in New Orleans…all full of wonderful comments about THREE FORTUNES, wishes for a happy Halloween, or tasty treats… And no stinky fish treats, heh.

The Spirit of New Orleans

I’ve been fascinated by author Greg Herren’s posts about his return to New Orleans and the things he’s seeing and doing there. Yesterday, we got a Kensington catalog and Greg’s new mystery, MARDI GRAS MAMBO, which is coming out in March, has an enticing cover. I can’t find it online so I’ve asked for a .jpg from the publisher which I’ll post when I get it.

The truly amazing thing is that in the midst of helping other New Orleans friends, moving his stuff between apartments, and managing his busy schedule as a writer and editor, Greg generously shared his good fortune with Tim and me. Although you can’t see it in the picture below, those are Bar-B-Q Fritos that were just delivered to us from Greg today because he finally located a New Orleans source.

Is he a class act or what? Thank you, Greg.
