A Gaslight Anniversary…
I’m a day ahead, but since it’s going to be ONE of those weeks, I thought I’d get a jump on it. On the 20th of February in 2003, what was known as The Gaslight Tavern writing group (an offshoot of the original Gaslight Hotel Yahoo group) was established on the old Yahoo groups by Read More …

The Time I Almost Became a Russell Crowe Fan
Or: A Remember When in which I ramble incoherently. I like to think I would have become one at the time. I was a young mother with a baby still growing her way out of pre-maturity, so going to the movies became a semi-forgotten past-time that was only given precedence if there was a MUST-GO-SEE movie Read More …
