Usually I’m on the tired side at the end of a travel day, but today, after I got home at 5:30, I went to the grocery store, walked on the treadmill, and then cooked supper–sea bass, broccoli, sweet potatoes, avocado. Crazy, isn’t it? Now I’ve...

It’s late and I need to be quick. I had a wonderful day capped off by a 12-layer kite show as the sun set. Re-capped by a late stroll down Commercial Street, with a stop to listen to a girl band playing “I Will Survive.” 70 degrees with a breeze is...

This slideshow requires JavaScript. I just now finished a story I first started in 2004. Yep, 2004. I worked on it consistently for several years and then would go back to it between novels, but I hadn’t worked on it since 2010 when I submitted it to a graduate...

Here’s my eating life pre-W30: I grab a hunk of cheese and a few Melba toast as I’m running out the door. I grab a piece of cheese toast cut into 9 small bites so I can get back to my desk to write. I grab a bowl of chips dusted with parmesan to put beside...

Spring break 7th grade, 1970. I was 13 and took a friend with me to Mobile to stay with my grandparents. My grandfather, who was the Minister of Education at Dauphin Way United Methodist Church, took us to a youth group party where we met a boy. Of course we did. He...

The title of the last post began with “not” and the one before that with “no,” so something positive today maybe? Well I’m still calm from the spa, like I have a base-level calm. And I took the time to sit at the table for two meals...

I’m afraid this could get ugly. It’s 6:45 on Day 3 of my Whole30, and I believe the the sole purpose of this thing is to take all the FUN out of eating. To teach people that FOOD is not about FUN; it’s about NOURISHMENT and putting good things into...
