When Little Joe the Krampus Met

Hop on over to Radio Wombat for the latest podcast, “When Little Joe the Krampus Met” which is also available in a quieter version as a chapbook if you prefer. Perfect for holiday gifts, unless you want to go totally BISON for the season (and who doesn’t?). It’s barely registered with me that it’s December…

Yes, I’m Back

…but I won’t be giving a London recap until we get back from Robert’s, where we’re heading for Thanksgiving today, because of COURSE he only has dial up (OMG!). Yes, pictures, yes, fun, yes, friends — much to tell. I will add because I have to get it off my chest: FILTHY PHILLY! Eww, eww!…

Happy Halloween!

Happy Spooky Day, everybody! Hope you’re all doing something fun today. We’re heading off to see the brothers down in Kingston, mon. I got a card from my sweetie with some Hello Kitty devil mints, an Oliver Reed Curse of the Werewolf finger puppet (!) and Halloween crackers. Last night was the Devil’s Night Reading…

Two things: on Thursday, the actual Devil’s Night, we’ll be taking part in a reading on campus sponsored by Sigma Tau Delta.

October Country returns…

I will put aside for a moment the anxiety I feel that my Halloween cards are not even conceptualised, let alone ready to send (HA HA HA). Instead I will think of all the lovely fall colors beginning to appear — more slowly up here, but much further along in Connecticut. I can’t get over…

Sales

Alerted by email to the 40% off sale at the soon-to-be-closed local Borders, we headed over to see what remained — and given the emptying of boxes last night — what would be worth acquiring. I had one thing in mind, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead, which I had been meaning to get for some…

North Carolina Redux

Susan’s got her pictures on-line from the Three Mothers reunion in North Carolina back in July. Stop by and see all the lovely fun we had. Yes, there’s even a picture or two of me (recognizably so in two of them, not so much in a third because I’m perched far out on the rocks…
