By Jove I Think I’ve Got it
I agree with Cathy’s comment below that the last theme was a little too serious. This is far more fun. I think I’ll stick with it for a bit.

New Year, New Look
I’m going to be testing out a few different blog backgrounds over the next few days, so feel free to pipe in and let me know which one you like best. This one is called the “Quentin” Theme. Pros: I like the neutral color palette and the old-fashioned, almost Western style. The font is crisp and… Read More New Year, New Look
Happy New Year
Happy 2011 everyone! Every New Year’s Day I spend reflecting on how I want to make the coming year one that is full of joy and as a result I usually have hundreds of resolutions. I thought I’d try to pare it down to the top ten: 1: Read a little bit every day and 2: Write a little bit… Read More Happy New Year
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
Asher’s Legacy
It’s to back to work tomorrow morning, but I’m proud to report that I wrote a total of 11,347 words on my new novel while I was on vacation. In celebration, I’m going to post the first few paragraphs, but please be kind. This is a very, very rough draft (it will probably go through… Read More Asher’s Legacy
