Ever since this pandemic hit, I have had the ability to work from home. I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to say that as others are not as fortunate. I have been staying with only a few select people seen on the regular/semi-regular and have been using my bits of free time to [...]
Here we are again, ready to begin a new adventure! This past Saturday, I held our monthly book club, and yearly annual raku pot painting party, to discuss Stiff: the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach. I was so pleased to find out that all who had finished or begun the book had [...]
I have returned! After spending 2.5 weeks in Europe, I am back in the US. I am already missing the daily run around to new cities, but not the hassle of flights. Hoping to post soon about my adventures! In the meantime, you know what day it is: Murder Monday. On my first day back [...]
Finally through all of my audiobooks and having finished a book for last weeks book club, I find myself with a night off of deadlines. I may be trying to catch up on some podcasts, but they're not going anywhere. Here I am at home, relaxing early after last night's Oscars ran late...enter Netflix. Whatever [...]
I've had an influx of audiobooks being available lately and am winding down to my last one this month. So far this year I've listened to 15 audiobooks and read two books - off to a much higher better start this year over last year already! I have previously written about Chief Inspector Gamache, but [...]

I've gotten right into the thick of things with a new audiobook. Now to unveil the newest addition to our Murder Monday: It's too bad that there aren't enough hours [...]
Now, let me preface this with the fact that I've never been on a cruise before. Back many moons ago, when I was studying abroad in New Zealand, I took part in a 24-hr cruise; which was basically just staying overnight on a little boat, but nothing more than one night. We got to meet [...]
Ah, good evening. Please, make yourself at home. Would you like to join me for a nice hot cuppa? Isn't that better? Now, the reason you're here: murder. Might I introduce you to Inspector Gamache? I had no idea that he has been around for so long, but, boy, am I glad that I met [...]
Time to get back on track with things! What better way than with a potential murder mystery?! I have really taken to listening to books recently as I spend a lot of time driving to and from work as well as computer work at work; sometimes giving me a good chunk of time to listen [...]
We meet again. Another week has come and gone quite quickly, but there's always time for a little escape here and there. That brings us to today: Murder Monday. I have been listening to a bunch of audio books of late to try to get my reading challenge completed and then some for the year, [...]
