Updated Blog Schedule
I’ve tried to keep a blogging schedule, and I’ve got a handy spreadsheet. However, you may have noticed that my blogging has slowed down in recent months. Between work changes, which have negatively affected my health and some additional health challenges,...
Tips for Cooking Turkey
Instead of giving you a recipe, since we’re coming on Thanksgiving, I wanted to share my mother’s tips for cooking a nice juicy turkey. After you rinse the turkey, liberally sprinkle salt and pepper on it. Then, after you put the stuffing inside and under...
Clarinet Update
I haven’t blogged an update about clarinet practice, mostly because there hasn’t been any. Between my work schedule changing and my not having time to practice, I have the bronchitis from hell and though I could sterilize reeds and my mouthpiece when...

New Feeders: Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches
I’ve been working on a story where the main character has a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach for a familiar. A socius, as they’re called in my Musimagium world. I’m really not squicked out by bugs, probably because I’ve had Kimba, my bearded dragon...
