I should apologize. But I’m not sure that I honestly need to – more like, I hope you won’t leave my feed when you see too many notices coming in from @keeperbookshelf over the next few days. As the end of the year approaches I, like many people, am trying to get caught up on […]
There are moments that stay in one’s memories. A kitten fetching a pom-pom tiny “ball” and bringing it back to me over and over again for me to toss one more time. The indignant glare when a water dish was dry. The contented purr when I found just the right spot under his chin. The […]
Vacations are a wonderful invention, but like all good things they eventually come to a close. Now it’s back to the books – the reviewing of novels – for me. I had my fun, an amazing trip, a visit to the Las Vegas edition of the Titanic Exhibit – which was simply stunning and moving […]
Sometimes you just gotta cut loose – so I’m heading to Vegas, baby. Gamble? Nah, I’m guaranteed to lose but there is more in Sin City than gambling. Plus the surrounding area is stunningly beautiful so some day trips are happening as well. I hope you all have a safe and fun week – […]
On this day lives changed forever. And on this day all those years ago I, like many Americans and other people around the world, vowed to never forget the lives that were taken, the men and women who walked into the chaos as others ran away. Life was changed. So today – I remember and […]
I am so happy to introduce this beauty. She doesn’t have an official name just yet – we’re going to get to know her personality a bit before giving her that forever name. But I’ve been referring to her as Bella or Baby Girl because she is a beautiful baby girl puppy. She’s a Shetland […]
Computers hate me. Yeah. They really do. *sigh* I was going along, working like every day and out of nowhere *BAM* *SMACK* … *Dead* With the help of my computer whiz son over the last week we’ve pretty much rearranged this bad boy’s innards enough to get it working again… with a brand spanking new […]
I believe I’ve finally figured something out that has perplexed me for the 18 months or so that I’ve been reviewing what I read onto one of my blogs. I do not read reviews before I post my own or read the book. I want my view to be fresh and unbiased by others opinions. […]
I will freely admit that as a reviewer (hobby and fun passing along my opinions) – I do give a higher ratio of 5 – 4.5 – 4 – 3.5 – 3 star reviews. The truth is I will request and/or buy the type of novels that I normally enjoy so I’m not surprised by […]
It was a long road back, ten years to the day – but Lord Stanley’s Cup has returned to Pittsburgh. Way to go guys – you worked hard and did us all proud. So proud to be from Pittsburgh!
I am making a decision to post this link to a guest post written by an author, a successful businessman, an advocate for the disabled, an amazing man… who also happens to be my son. I think you can imagine what my reaction to his post is. But I’m going to let his words speak […]
