Another zippy trip down to Connecticut to see my pals. Great to see Marko, Bilokur and of course the Queen of Everything, Stephanie Johnson. After all these year, I finally caught up with Peter Crowley, too! Can’t believe we’ve never actually been in the same place at the same time. Had a faboo time, Agent…

News, a Wish and BitchBuzz
Criminy: it’s December! How the time has flown by this semester, even though I haven’t been in class. My sympathies to my colleagues knee-deep in exams and grading. I know how it feels — and couldn’t be happier that I am not. Sorry! But it’s true. NEWS: It’s a Curse: Drunk on the Moon, Book…
Soundcloud
A new way to spread sound — well, newish. It’s been getting a boost, mostly via other social media outlets and DJs. Of course now that people like me are starting to use it, the DJs are looking for something new. Way to suck the cool out, eh? My page at Soundcloud features things you…
Flash Vacation
After dropping Gene off at work Friday morning, I made a quick escape to Connecticut (I blame the midterm craziness!). I tore through the Berkshires in some thick fog, filling up on cheap gas. My first stop in Willimantic was to surprise Perilous Cheryl, but the surprise was on me. I stopped by her office…
Podcast: Dear Friend
Slouch on over to Radio Wombat for a new podcast, “Dear Friend.” Is this podcasting going to be a regular thing? It just might.
On the Air!
What the — three posts in one day?! Yeah, well you never know when inspiration might strike. And now, we have sound — yes, after months of farting around doing nothing, I finally put up a podcast, which is a fancy way of saying a low-tech recording of me reading a flash fiction piece. Wander…
New Book Store!
Always a reason to celebrate! There’s a great new book store in the area, East Line Books. The proprietor, Robyn Ringler, is just a wonderful and enthusiastic woman — and writer! You may remember her from my radio show, Prose at the Rose, where she talked about things like being Ronald Reagan’s nurse when he…
Prose at the Rose: Fulwiler
On line now: the latest interview and reading from Prose at the Rose, my podcast on local writers and writing at the College of Saint Rose radio. My guest this episode is colleague Megan Fulwiler who reads a wonderful essay on the challenges of buying a house as a single woman. We have fun talking…
Radio, Radio
My essay on the Roundtable program of WAMC is officially scheduled for Monday morning about quarter after ten. It’s me talking for a couple of minutes about medieval Yule celebrations. I start out with the Anglo-Saxon world, but because so little is known for sure about that time, I have to move forward, finally ending…
"Learn from a professional, kid!"
I walked through the ice and snow over to WAMC studios to tape my mini-essay on Anglo-Saxon yuletide today. We’re not that far from the station, but with all the ice on the sidewalks I took my time (it was particularly bad by SUNY not just because of the frozen surface but because the surface…
