A day in the life of a first-time novelist

Book Review – Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen

Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen My rating: 3 of 5 stars I was torn while reading this book because I found the main character thoroughly unlikeable. Every action she took was so obviously a plot device – I could see the consequences of her bad judgment coming a mile away and thought it was unbelievable… Read More Book Review – Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen

Laura’s Vacation in Pictures – Part 2

Day 6:  After a fabulous time in Vegas, Sue & I got up at 4am for our flight to San Antonio.  (An interesting fact – 4am in Vegas isn’t all that much different from 10pm in Vegas.)  We arrived after a layover in Phoenix, rented a car and drove to the Menger Hotel which is… Read More Laura’s Vacation in Pictures – Part 2

Laura’s Vacation in Pictures – Part 1

Although I’m still on the road, my official vacation is over.  It has been a ton of fun, but also completely exhausting as today I checked into my fifth hotel in ten days.  Yikes!  It’s been a pretty diverse trip, too, covering a dressy party in Vegas, horse ranch in Bandero, TX and even a haunted… Read More Laura’s Vacation in Pictures – Part 1

EmmyPredictions

I haven’t blogged in a while, but couldn’t let the Emmys pass without a little commentary:  Things I expect to see at the Emmys (both for the better and the worse): George Clooney looking stunning in a tux Jimmy Fallon saying something really clever and witty, then pausing as the audience has to think a… Read More EmmyPredictions

Nantucket Book Project

I had a great evening spending time working on a new book project with my friends.  We’re developing a book of essays and photographs based on our trips to Nantucket over the years.  We’re hoping to help others understand why we have such a love for the island and keep going back year after year. … Read More Nantucket Book Project

Visits to Laura’s Mailbag

Dear Mel Gibson:  I really don’t know where to begin because I don’t know what part of your rant is most disturbing.  The misogyny?  The racism?  The inability to string three words together that don’t start with an “F”?   Not to be flip, but I’m pretty sure OJ wasn’t quite as angry as you are. … Read More Visits to Laura’s Mailbag

A Comparison of Children and Wild Bears

There are places where I am a visitor and need to respect the residents like I would as a guest in anyone’s home.  For example, I would not walk into the deep dark woods of Maine where bears are known to live and be surprised when they pounce, claw me to pieces and eat me.  It was… Read More A Comparison of Children and Wild Bears

Misc. Ramblings

1. Rue McClanahan – Funny, we were just saying the other day that there would be a third major celebrity death to follow Gary Coleman and Dennis Hopper (since they always seem to happen in sets of three).  Too bad it had to be Rue.  I was kind of hoping Art Linkletter’s death would have sufficed.  Please… Read More Misc. Ramblings
