  1. Though he's not and never will be on FB (it's a story) just want to put this out there: Thanks Philip Minaker for 18 awesome years! Love ya babe!

  2. Back online! Internet issues resolved. And there was great rejoicing ... yay :)

  3. This is a Facebook game to see who reads posts or just trolls. So if you read this, leave me one word on how we met. Only one word, then copy this to your wall so I can leave a word for you. Please don't just put a word and not copy.

  4. is saddened by a friend's loss ...

      Deepest sympathies for your loss. :o(

  5. Beautiful day, but can't write outside yet (glare of sun on laptop screen makes it impossible). In need of a gazebo post-hasty!

  6. Received the sad news today: "Cicadas" didn't make the cut for Tesseracts 16. But Mark Leslie writes a lovely rejection letter.

     

    "While, traditionally, this is a "rejection" you should know that your story stood above hundreds of others that were sent in and is something you should be proud of. You had mentioned that you hadn't made the shortlist on previous submissions to Tesseracts, so now you've conquored that. I am honoured to have been part of that and had the opportunity to seriously...

      Awww, I'm sorry. :o( But hey - it was a "good" rejection - at least you are assured you are on the right track!!

  7. Took a night off yesterday to enjoy a lovely dinner with my friend Kimberly Fahner, and a concert with Valdy, Dala, and General Store. Dala was the draw, but enjoyed the rest. Bluegrass isn't my typical cuppa, but there was no denying the fierce musical talent! Awesome! And more to come tonight with Yana and Kim at Azian Fuzion :)

  8. Back to work for only one day and already I'm falling behind creatively :(

  13. I'm so depressed ... Labbydog.ca was hacked. Server farm insists everything must go. 4 months of blogging, gone :(

      how discouraging for you! :o( I'm so sorry. Do you have another platform you are considering, or was this too scarring to go on blogging after?

      No ... getting back on that horse :) It's the way I roll, er trot. Troll? LOL! Just need a few days to get my head wrapped around it. I am nothing, if not persistent. That's why I'm here :)

  14. Just discovered that my WordPress account has been hacked. Labbydog.ca is offline as is my email (and Phil's, and Mom's). Apparently the whole thing has to be wiped :(

    4 months of blogging down the drain (hurts my wee heart). That brilliant man of mine is working on a solution, but until we have one, it's virtual silence.

    That is all.
