Last Blog from Paris
Jon is packing for our flight tomorrow, and I will do what he usually requests most when he’s packing, me to stay out of the way. Too keep me busy at something else so I don’t impede his packing mojo I’ll blog some last night thoughts from Paris.
Things I would never have known about Paris if I hadn’t come myself and seen them:
First the Parisians smoke more than any other city, or nationality, that we’ve seen. I’m told that the smoking is much less since the ban on indoor smoking, and all I can say is, if… Read More

Nortre Dame and Walking the Narrow Stair
I woke up in my grumpy-bear mood. What does that mean? It means I’ve been traveling for about a week, doing mostly business, working hard, getting little sleep, and basically expending more energy than I’m refueling. It also means that I have been surrounded by too many people, mostly new friends, or strangers, and in an environment that was loud or otherwise sensory overwhelming. Combine all the above and no matter how good the business is going, or how many pleasant people I’ve met, or new friends I’ve made, I have a real need to find a cave and curl… Read More

Adventures in Waiting to Paris
The flight to Paris didn’t get to leave the ground before the weird began to happen. I have been on more planes over the years where flight crew will say things like, “I’ve flown for six years and never seen anything like it.” I’m beginning to think it’s me, somehow. Airplane was waiting on tarmac for fifteen minutes. Captain Davis comes on intercom system, and says that he’s not sure why the paper work is not coming through or why we’re delayed. Thirty minutes in and Capt. Davis says, “Our cargo was not distributed to the optimal center of gravity.”… Read More

Fear of Flying
Once upon a time I was terrified of flying. I earned my fear by being in a plane that had a rather abrupt descent, and left the flight crew shaken. The captain actually came on the speaker and said, “I don’t know what just happened, but we seem to be all right now. I think we’ll make the scheduled airport.” Think, we’ll make it? I loved to fly until that moment. Nothing like having a stranger gripping your hand and praying the Lord’s Prayer in German, along with everyone Else who wasn’t screaming in terror, or praying something of another… Read More

Fact vs. Fiction
In my books Anita wakes up nude beside a beautiful man, or men. She rolls over and sex ensues. Not just sex, but really good sex. When she can walk safely, she slips on something silky and begins to get ready for the day. In real life today, I woke up nude beside a beautiful man. We cuddled, we talked, and then sex ensued, and yes, it was really good sex. When we could both walk safely, Jon threw on a robe and is now in the shower. I cleaned up and put on silk pajamas and a robe, and… Read More

What if Everything They say is good for you, is actually Good for You?
Thou shalt not give up all caffeine and sugar on the same day cold turkey. I wondered why I was getting a headache when I felt sooooo good. I only figured out minutes ago that I’d gone from two to three large cups of strong black tea in the morning to none. But interestingly without the sugar or the caffeine I actually feel more energized, and almost frenetic. I know that caffeine is a downer rather than an upper for me, as it is for my husband, Jon, and our daughter Trinity. We all have some level of ADD, and… Read More
