Anna The Barber – A Writer’s Beard
Once upon a time, I used to go to Old School male barbers like other men of my vintage. However, as my head hair follicles slowly succumbed to time, I didn’t see the point in it. So, I started shaving my head along with my face. Once I moved to NoCo, I joined the testosterone […]
If You Build It . . . .
Was really busy working on a tricky brief yesterday (and will be again today) so I didn’t get to allow my mind to wander as much as it usually does. Even the grans left me alone. Almost. I did get to chase them from my office a few times threatening them with all kinds of […]
A Day In Moments . . . .
I see life in moments. Snapshots that anchor my world in some visual road map. For example, the grans were busy being kids around Casa Claire and beyond, so I only spent a moment in the late afternoon playing lifeguard. Those long legs belong to Scarlett. Photo reminds me of a joke I once heard […]
Spreading The Magic
Sitting alone during the wee hours in Casa Claire, typing away at the keyboards during my morning blogs, sometimes feels like its placing a message in a bottle and tossing it off into the ocean, not knowing where the message will land. All I can hope for is that whomever reads what I write, comes […]
Fairies, Wishes And Soccer
Yesterday was a hot and hazy day. Even the Three Witches looked like they were LA buildings. But family drama does not care about weather. The problem with having three grans around is that you must do everything in threes. For example, Lisa came up with the idea of replacing a lost quartz necklace for […]
A Hot Day In Photos
The world was hot yesterday. We all did our best to survive the heat. I heard from all of my children. Mark and Sara, NYPD Blue, back east with their bees. My daughter Jackie, a master of the universe, locking down the south. And Luke was at Casa Claire building a Faerie House with Claire […]
The Importance Of Faerie Gardens
If you have read The Claire Saga, you will appreciate my fascination with the Fae (derived from Old French). Indeed, I have left the Fae as the bridge to whatever may come next. I revere the magic of nature. It’s been part of my Celtic culture from a time before St. Patrick chased the snakes […]
Missing Cairo
Anyone of you fine, five readers who have been around long enough, know of the mythic mountain of a mastiff named Cairo who had been around since Luke and Georgie first rescued him back in the Bronx. Cairo was the furry older sibling to the three little witches. He travelled with them all over the […]

I Like Spiders
I never kill spiders. First off, I won’t kill anything that is not directly threatening my life. Secondly, we get a lot of flies this time of year that annoy the hell out of Claire and Honey. When they come through our many open doors at Casa Claire, they piss off Lisa as well. So […]
