About Me

An advocate, a writer, a wild woman masquerading as Mrs. Mundane. Old dogs and young children find me fascinating. Can't resist a well-told tale or a low, slow blues guitar. A bad Catholic, a half-hearted Democrat, an ancient orphan. Can't quite remember why I left the Gulf Coast for points north. Traveled a bit. Left New England, landed in Arkansas. Got a great kid with a large heart, married a gear-head, a gentle Renaissance guy, my Moon Hanging Man. Two tats, white teeth, disobedient hair. Look best in a tan, relaxing on the deck of a boat. Believe that the world looks very different from inside a pair of pointy boots.

Turns Out I'm A Curmudgeon

I spent two fitful nights at a hotel in Indianapolis this week.  The hotel was nice enough, I suppose, it was clean.  Nice furniture, authentic replicas of lush antiques in the lobby. A...
