Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Yes. But it's the nail file that they've technically been protesting the entire time.

If I only had a brain...

Yeah, but now they're offically okay even with a nail file. And you can carry a separate nail file, too!

Terrorists, start your engines!

That's so cool! Good to know. Although, now that I'm thinking about it, if you'd like some real air terror, you just need to let my cat loose during a whackadoo interlude. Maybe they should rethink the pets thing.

They should rethink my snark. I draw far more blood with a nasty comment than I could ever manage with a nail file.

I've drawn blood with nails in need of a nail file.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

When I traveled to the F2F, I accidentally carried 7 nail clippers through security -- they'd fallen into the lining of my pocketbook through a hole, over a period of months, and I didn't discover it until I was on the ground in Chicago. This is a bag that had been through x-ray security and everything. So now I know how to smuggle small metal items....

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm just thankful that I can bring my knitting on board the plane again.

ION, I'm looking at the catalog for the Taos Institute of Arts, and I really, really want to take a writing workshop.

Is that held in Taos? My interest goes up a bit if so.

Yup. I'm already scoping out B&B's. The Web addy is [link]

Right now I'm going through the catalog, trying to decide if I want to take a writing workshop, a drawing course, or tapestry weaving. I'd been saving up to take the course on Navajo rug weaving, but they're not offering it this year.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

How do people ever manage to write short stories and novellas? Last night I did a word count of the portion of my novel I'm currently working on, and it's 7,000 words for one DAY. Which is only half over. Granted, it's a day full of plot twists and characters discussing the ramifications thereof, but still.

Save a place for me on the JK Rowling and Diana Gabaldon bench.
