That writing prompt: Why do you write?
“Why do you write?” The writing prompt sat in my email inbox for a while. I looked at it and closed it. Looked at it again, and decided it was too hard to answer. I’m not sure why I write. Some famous writer once said there was nothing to it. You just had to sit […]

I was asked to attend a Civic Leaders meeting recently for a colleague who could not make it. It was in Auburn and held after hours. I could not get someone to look after my son in time. I left early to pick him up and he came with me. It was an important meeting. […]
Think of a wish and blow
It seems like the practice of making a wish on a dandelion was around since the 1800s.
