More Reasons All Creatives Need A BC

If you happen to be one of the same fine, five readers (Claire’s Theorem) who read my recent post about my childhood frenemy, BC, Every Creative Needs A BC you will understand why I had to scrap the blog I was working on just to give BC a by-line. You see, his text popped up […]

Hurry Spring Weather

What I find most disconcerting with NoCo weather is that this is what 50 degrees back east used to feel like to me. Other than during a subzero stretch this past winter, I haven’t worn a winter jacket, a sweatshirt has been sufficient, I can count the times I’ve worn gloves or a winter cap […]

Appreciating The Neighbors

Woke up this morning to find that one of my Berthoud neighbors, Cathy Burnett, had posted a comment for the first time on one of my older blogs. I’ve had locals from Berthoud and the surrounding towns post reviews about my books on Amazon, but Ms. Burnett is the first neighbor I do not interact […]

Lunar Eclipse

Weatherwise, yesterday was a mess. It started out warm enough for me to clear out the front trough in a t-shirt and sandals. Completely felt like Spring. Claire and Honey enjoyed their time out back. Even a Robin stopped by Casa Claire to make it official. Then the clouds rolled in like God was pissed […]

Full Moons And Book Launches

Today is the first day of the March Full Moon cycle, the Worm Moon, which peaks tomorrow, March 25th. Last night, when I fed Claire and Honey their last meal, it’s precursor was hauntingly beautiful. And this morning, when I fed them their first meal, it was even more so. At 39 degrees it’s practically […]

Having Your Six

Animals get it. It’s a tough world out there, so you should look out for each other. Whether it’s at night, Or in the daytime, And they also naturally understand that if you have a little extra, why not pay it forward to someone else who could benefit from it. I’ve learned a lot from […]

Every Creative Needs A BC

My misspent youth was blessed with a lot of interesting friends that provided plenty of grist for the mill when I was writing The Claire Saga. Just after I had written An Alien Appeal, Book 2 in TCS, I started hearing from a lot of the OFC – Old Fuckers Club – who had started […]

Namaste Wayne Dyer

If I were to place a thought bubble over Smokey in the above photo, it would say “Namaste!” The first time I actually paid attention to the use of the word “Namaste” was watching one of the many PBS specials by Wayne Dyer. I watched all of his recordings and read all of his books. […]

Early Vernal Equinox – Raffaella

Spring springs early this year. The Vernal Equinox can normally fall between March 19th and 22nd of any given year. An equinox is an “equal night” – same length across the globe – that happens twice a year in the Spring and Fall. In the Northern Hemisphere, the earth shift its tilt towards the sun. […]

A Quiet St. Paddy’s Day

Yesterday, I was tasked with cleaning the basement. Herculean at best. Me and Blue have managed to track in a lot of mud and dust this winter. However, Blue can just hide on the top floor. There was no putting it off for this mick. Especially now that Lisa is retired, white glove at the […]
