’Tis late to hearken, late to smile,

But better late than never;
I shall have lived a little while
Before I die for ever.

Tootie says it’s my own damn fault that I didn't announce our new imprint and new publication in July 2023 on Wordwhacking Dreams. She’s really not being cheeky when she says she has no opposable thumbs and so can't be responsible for some hands-on tasks around the ranchita. She tried to keep me on task, but alas! So much to do, s...

Wowie, I've been absent for a long time! The current contentious state of American politics is one reason; I stay engaged, immersed in the political drama unfolding the past few years and participate now as a local poll worker. (That's the most useful and fun part!) As the 2020 election, 2022 US midterm electio...
