I am a big fan of Charlaine Harris. So when BookBub offers one of her books at a bargain price, I tend to snap them up. This also means, that I find myself “starting” a series on Book 2 or 3. In this case, A Longer Fall is Book 2 in the “Gunnie Rose” series. …
Don’t believe me? Try me. This afternoon, I lost it. I was beyond furious. You know those documents that had to be done last Thursday? And then I found out, no they’d be filed Monday morning? Guess what showed up for me to work on at 3 p.m. today? Did you guess? They needed to…
When I first went to work for the San Jose law firm where I’ve worked the last 25+ years, I told them I would be retiring when I was 55. Seemed like a good plan. And every year at my review, I would remind them that I would be retiring at 55. Well, I’m now…
I have been working as a legal secretary, paralegal and/or legal word processor for about 40 years or so. And the one thing you could always count on, at least as far as litigation goes, things start to slow down in November and grind to a halt in December. Nobody wanted to be the guy…

I always loved Christmas. I loved making Christmas cookies. I loved sitting in the dark and looking at the decorated tree for the first time. I loved having the family all together at our house for a big meal on Christmas. I was not, however, a huge fan of Christmas presents. My stepfather and Mom…
I was climbing into bed last night when I realized I never did my WTF Wednesday blog post. WTF indeed.
I am a great fan of rehearsing music while sitting down. However, I am a great believer in the benefits of standing and moving around while rehearsing music as well. Sitting down, you can concentrate on the actual notes in front of you. Your body and your brain are not otherwise occupied trying to keep…
It is raining. Not just drizzles. But proper rain. Rain in California is weird. You seldom have any accompanying lightning or thunder. Just rain. Today, I had a dental cleaning and it was raining. But the sun was also peeking out from behind the clouds. Weird, huh? It was like that on the way home…
