Travel Agents Heroes of Volcano Crisis
Travel agents are emerging as heroes to many travelers during the volcanic ash crisis that is only now coming to a costly end. As the blame game begins, travel agents appear to have proven their value as the public reached out for help.
While the evidence is often anecdotal at this point, its clear that many travel agents went the extra mile for their clients, responding with professional...

Chillin
Just hanging out here at the house, enjoying the peace and quiet. Luke cooked dinner. Tomorrow is work, I should have done laundry this weekend, but oh well. I like not only having a job to go to, but one that I can look forward to going to.

I have been to busy
I have not blogged since November. I was shocked when I saw the date. Part of the reason why was the holidays, the other part was I worked a couple of temp jobs, something I don’t want to do again. I am back and I am am going to get writing again. I need to say “no” more often and stop being so busy.

Lost at Sea
Who among us is really that brave?
Cheers of “that a girl!” and “way to go!” seek to console us.
They tell us about bravey and fortitude, of surviving against all odds
Survivors we are…. of trouble not our own.
Holders of responsibility, of actions we did not condone.
Captains of chaos and mess, that no one has stayed to confess.
We steer the home alone, left to ourselves, little girls lost...
A blast from the past- a blog post from 2005
Entry for December 13, 2005
The house is so quiet…. all of the boys are at work… I guess this is something I should get used to… Thomas (My oldest still at home) is going to dinner with an older woman. She has a place of her own and a 13 year old boy… sigh… I have talked til I was blue in the face about the dangers of older women. He agrees with me to my face but I can see the writing on the...
A Poem You will Never Know
I see your face above mine
I feel your breath and beard upon my skin
I hear you moan as you take your pleasure
The sweat falls in droplets as we move in rhythm
We must drop the civilization that clothes us
As we move with instincts that drive us
Primeval forces that we answer to
In body and in soul
We move in perfect rhythm in my mind
For this is a poem you will never know
For soon we...
The Lonely Seagull
The seagull is probably the bird that should be the Florida state bird, instead of the Blue Jay. These birds are practically domesticated and very tame. They have lost most fear of humans, living beside them very comfortably. They feed off of our trash and hand outs. As a kid I loved feeding the birds at the beach. A whole flock would gather around me as I shared my potato chips. Some would come...
