Meet Jarvis: My A.I. Sidekick
When my daughter Mae was a kid, she took art lessons from a local artist. The artist was wonderful, and Mae was—and still is—very talented. One Father’s Day, when she was seven or eight, she gave her Papa a drawing she’d made in art class. “How did you draw that?” Papa asked. “It just comes…

What’s in Your Google?
In a recent post, I discussed my love of Google. So I’ve decided to post a description of my most recent Google searches. Sometimes I Google multiple unrelated topics over the course of a day.

Confessions from an Adultier Adult
Happy Monday!I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy. A few months ago, I turned 50. It’s a strange thing. I know I’m 50—my kids are both in their 20s, so clearly I’ve been around for a while. I can see the signs of getting older. And yet, my brain often thinks I’m still 30.…

Unless one of you comes up with a better name. Is it too soon for nicknames? Probably. But how many followers does one actually need before handing out pet names? 100?…

Angry eyes?!
I’m back! Sorry it’s taken me so long to get here this week—it’s been a weird few days. I have to admit, I think of this blog as a fantastically cozy little room. Soft lighting. A chair so comfortable you never want to move again. A calm place to sit for a few minutes and…

Thanks for the suggestion, WordPress!!
My biggest concern about starting a blog was, “What am I going to write about on a regular basis?” And that’s exactly where I found myself today—sitting here, staring at a blank screen, wondering what to write. While clicking around on WordPress, I noticed the “daily writing prompt.” Today’s prompt was: “Scour the news for…
