Personal Update for October 5, 2018
This will be a quick update. It has rained all day and Kavanaugh’s looming confirmation to the Supreme Court has got me in a bit of a bad mood. I wish I was surprised by the shameful conduct of Senate Republicans, but I’m not.

Obviously, she must do what she knows is best for her family. This is simply one man’s idea for how she… Continue reading An Idea for Christine Blasey Ford
Reviewing Two Girls Down
Louisa Luna’s Two Girls Down Is one of the best suspense books I have recently read. I really enjoyed both Alice Vega and Max Caplin. They were developed, interesting characters. The surprising to me ending made the book a great read.
