August95 tagged me with this meme. Just a silly meme, so it should be easy, but I found myself wrestling with it. List my five “guilty pleasures.” That would be five things I enjoy, but feel at least a little guilty about. Guilt is a thing I try not to do. I made that decision [...]

A Clarification

Yesterday, some people thought there was a funeral here. Some people thought this wasn’t my door, because there was a funeral behind this door, and there wasn’t a funeral here. These thoughts were expressed in comments and in concerned email. Allow me to set the record straight. It’s my door. There’s no funeral. The wreath [...]

BAIB ~ Blogging at its Best

I recently joked with some of you here about presenting my own Major Awards to fellow bloggers. If I could present an award, I’d present the BAIB, for Blogging at its Best. And it wouldn’t have anything at all to do with what your blog looks like, or how many people visit you, or even [...]
