I was talking via PM with John Blumenthal about scaling back on the amount of time and posts I create for Open Salon.  JB urged me to keep on keeping on. The truth is my real passion in writing that hasn't really been tapped into here is my sense… Read full post »

Like Dubya, I have to say "my bad" to all my friends that I feel like I've abandoned.  Although I've posted a few things I've written in my spare time over the past couple of weeks, for the most part I have just not been on Open Salon.  It's… Read full post »
