Last month, when I finally decided to “come out” about owning a Kindle, I learned two things. One, after reading some of the comments about my blog entry, I realized that I have always written about “safe” topics, ones that are least likely to stir up controversy, and heaven forbid, make [...]
Looks like it was a sabbatical after all.
Last March, after close to a three-year tenure, I hung up my Storytellers U hat — the one with the Viking horns and a beer funnel — without knowing whether this would be permanent or temporary. Couldn’t help but notice, in the interim, that lords-of-the-manor [...]
The Chicago Tribune ran “The Great Chicago Ghost Story” contest for Halloween.
The rules: A Chicago site must be mentioned in the story. No more than 750 words.
I wrote a story. Entered.
Lost.

Thanks for adding me. Congrats on all your publications!
Enjoy your weekend.

You know I gotta agree with your BF. I am very confused on how Sarah Jessica Parker or Kirsten Dunst were ever deemed 'sexy.' I actually covered my eyes every time they showed a close up of Dunst in Spiderman. Nothing like a huge screen image of blank eyes and yellow teeth!
THEY will definitely not be invited to our GNO!
I don't know, something changed after we all saw the Sex in the City movie the 14th time...
Anything you can think of to help me get into the 2009 LADIES OF HORROR?
