[Spotlight Post] A Thanksgiving Spotlight – You
Happy Day After Thanksgiving. I hope everyone is enjoying their Good Food Hangovers. I don’t have a spotlight planned for today. I apologize. So today’s spotlight is all of YOU. I am so thankful to all of you. I don’t know who all reads my blog – whether it’s the pen review segment, the writing […]
[Spotlight Post] 50th Anniversaries Observed
This Friday is a historical day in US history – and a pivotal day in the lives of many, like my parents. Today is the 50th Anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. There are lots of memorials and news coverage and events happening to commemorate this day in history. I’m tempted to have the […]
[Spotlight Post] For the Love of Minions
Friday spotlight day… huzzah, mostly because it’s, well, Friday. And today I feel like extolling the virtues of my long and abiding love of Minions – in all their forms. Minions are unsung heroes in the world. Whether you’re talking sidekicks to Superheroes, helpers to Super Villains, without minions nothing would get done. Minions are […]
[Spotlight Post] For All Those Who Served
Monday is November 11th. In the US, that’s Veteran’s Day. And though it’s still a few days away, today I’m going to spotlight them. I have had – and still have – so many family, friends, and colleagues who’ve made the sacrifice to serve in the military in their country of origin. I have a […]
[Spotlight Post] International Fountain Pen Day
I’m a bad blogger… I didn’t even know November 1st is International Fountain Pen Day. Not until the fine folks at Pen Heaven told me about it. They even asked if I would share some information from their blog with you. Since last night was Halloween, I hope you all had a fun and safe […]

[Spotlight Post] Bond. James Bond.
So, this week I’m doing a slightly non-traditional spotlight post. We went to see Skyfall last night… and I have to talk about James Bond. I really do. Though if Alan J. Porter’s book had been done by now… ah, well, maybe next year. [asa]B009FBX5M0[/asa] James Bond has played a significant role in my life. […]
