Love a Librarian
Libraries are some of my favorite places. All those books, just waiting for me to read them.… And what would libraries be without librarians? Librarians are those helpful folks who seem to know how to find just about any bit of information you’re looking for. They’re folks like the friendly young woman who smiled but [...]
Calling All Cat Lovers
I’ve got some good news for cat lovers, especially those of you who live in the general Washington, DC, area. I am the brand-new DC Cats Examiner for Examiner.com. No, this does not mean I travel around the city inspecting cats. It does mean I am now writing about all things cats—news, health, behavior, history, [...]

Truth is, I just wanted to share some things I learned over the weekend. [...]

You may know that there are some differences between the British and American styles, beyond the funny words those Brits use for perfectly ordinary things like sweaters and wrenches. The vocabulary differences I can handle—it’s [...]
Announcing “The Bog”
I have a new creative outlet. It’s just a little something I like to call “The Bog.” This new site and its associated blog (“Notes from the Bog”) is where I plan to show off my completely unserious and slightly creepy side.
