NaBloPoMo Daily Prompt: Tell us about a tradition passed through your family. Researchers tell us traditions are easily established in children. Meaning, you need to repeat an activity only a few times for it to become routine, or customary to child. Case in point: my family’s Sunday night tradition of…

I’m a huge fan of all things How to Train Your Dragon: the books, the movie, the soundtrack, the television series, all of it. There are so many things to love, I could write seven separate Sunday Seven Dragon lists. But that’s just overkill. Let’s start with the movie. When…

Continue reading →: Supernatural: ‘Wicked/Trial’
What an terrific week of Supernatural viewing! Four excellent episodes, including two of my all-time favorites. Something Wicked (118) Perhaps I’m overly fond of “Something Wicked” because it’s the first Supernatural I watched. But I don’t think so. I’ve now seen 172 episodes, many of them several times, and “Something…

Home (109) Man, I wish I had Eric Kripke’s creativity. And writing ability. How does he combine tenderness and pathos with comedy, and then throw in a bloody horror scene? Even now, after many years and several viewings, I still want to fast-forward through the infamous evil cymbal monkey/garbage disposal…

Thank you, NaBloPoMo for giving us our Daily Prompts. WordPress.com also has one, but it usually entails more thinking than I’m willing to do today. (Plus, I’m not crazy about today’s prompt: Tell us about a thing you’ll never write about. Um, no. Then I’d be writing about it, right?)…

[Note: This post is about the How to Train Your Dragon books, not the movie. Although the names are recognizable, the stories are quite different. I love both versions.] I finished reading How to Seize a Dragon’s Jewel last night. It’s the tenth (and latest) book in Cressida Cowell’s “How…

Yesterday morning I set the alarm on my watch to 10:30 p.m. When it went off last night, I’d forgotten what I’d set it for. Short term memory? Not so good. Having not thought about today’s post, the possibility of forgetting to blog was very real. Perhaps inspired by yesterday’s…

Continue reading →: Sunday Seven: Roots
How appropriate. The theme for NaBloPoMo this month is Roots, so here’s a sneak peak of mine. Seven People I’m Proud to Call Relatives Marjorie Overholt, mother. The nicest, kindest person you’d ever hope to meet. Owen Overholt, father. Imminently fair and honest, a lawyer who loved the law more…

Whoa! I almost forgot to post this. Given that I signed up for NaBloPoMo this month, it would have been a real bitch to poop out on the first day. Dead in the Water (103) It’s not just one of my season 1 favorites, but one of my all-time faves. …
