Ukazoo’s a Local Winner
For many years, those of us living in the Towson area have wondered why we don’t have a decent used book dealer to frequent. Heck, we haven’t even had an indecent one to shun. It’s a void that has existed for a long, long time. Until now. Just a few weeks ago, Ukazoo, a one-of-a-kind [...]
Friday Fill-In no. 1
Thanks to JANET for doing this! Be sure to check out her site today! 1. Yesterday I was feeling deep about a lot of different things. 2. Today I am feeling so relaxed about everything! It’s a great, calm feeling! 3. Tomorrow I will play (and maybe win) poker with some school friends of mine. [...]
Teaching on the brain
mens sana in corpore sano. . . . It hasn’t even been a week since my summer teaching stint ended, and already I’m thinking about the upcoming school year. Last Friday, I was exhausted, feeling burned out, desperately needing a break. Is it possible that one week’s time is all that I needed to recuperate? [...]
Celebrating the Life of Jenn See, Through My Eyes, 1 Year Later

Blueberries for Us
Blueberries for Sal….Do you remember reading this book when you were younger? I have wonderful memories of my mother reading this book to me before I had learned to read.

rus uncut, no. 5
today is 17 July 2007, 0543 It is a good morning. I may be able to abandon the uncuts soon, as I feel the veil lifting a bit. In the past, when I’ve gone this long without tending to my writing, it’s taken me a good week to get back into the groove and get [...]
rus uncut, no. 4
It is now 2207. Now, THAT was a good ride. I put in the first set of the 4/30/77 show at the Palladium, and up they go just like that with a more-than-memorable performance of Music Never Stopped. Beautiful stuff. Then it is on to Bertha, then It’s All Over Now, and I ended my [...]
