Apparently, since I’m working on a couple books, Miss Gwennie JC thinks that she needs to take up the call, as well.  It would seem her muse is Celie/Alice Walker, as she’s chosen the ever-popular epistolary novel as her genre.  I came home from work today to find this on the office computer. Perhaps it’s [...]

Let’s face it: it would never, in a million years, have occurred to me and Michelle and Shane that this past Saturday was the start to Ramadan when we decided that the best way to welcome the new academic year in was to have a pig-pickin’ as the department welcome back party.  In hindsight, that [...]

After a ragged day of travel yesterday, I was excited this morning to go get Gwennie & Max from their holiday get-away at E & B Boarding.  Gwennie swears by the place and Max has always given it a very enthusiastic double-leap, which is his highest rating of anything.  Of course, it rained most of [...]

I don’t know if Miss Gwennie has every experienced snow before, but I can tell you this: she is NOT amused.  I don’t think I could have two more different dogs.  Bascially, in our morning walk, this is what I was getting from them:
Gwennie: WTF? Have you lost your mind? I can go poops in [...]

Seriously and completely done with this “Jackson” person!  Perhaps daddy forgets he has perfectly good and handsome boy at home?  How he forget? I don’t know, but I post picture now so that he does not forget again!  He needs to come home and show me some love. He can love Gwennie, too, but I’m [...]

This morning, I’m at Bruegger’s, trying to get back to work on things.  I got my course website set up for my grad course, and now I have to get busy planning what we’re doing and how we’re going to organize things.  I want to start this semester ahead, if at all possible, and since [...]

While I was really uncertain if I would be utterly depressed at Christmas, it turned out that I was wonderfully happy all day.  I got to entertain Kelley Mae (one of the “London kids”), her sister, Faith, and her brother, Eric … whom Gwennie has taken to calling “Prince Eric” and whom Gwennie is madly [...]

And what have you done?  Well, not much so far.  I’m at work, at the office, pushing through 3 manuscript reviews I promised to do and haven’t yet finished.  One down, two to go now.  What else?  A whole lotta nuttin’.  I was just thinking the other day that I haven’t, as yet, bought one [...]

I’ve been singing “Sweet Little Jesus Boy” all morning.  Why you ask? Cause it has this line in it: “world treat you mean, lawd, treat me mean too”!  Why the world treat me so mean? Well, mostly cause of sexism.  At least, that’s what daddy said, and I trust him.
See, right now, Sistah is at [...]

I’m gone for a hot minute from G’ville, and Aunt ‘Shell decides that just because there’s a minor snow flurry, Miss Gwennie JC needs a sweater.  I tell you: some folks get way spoiled!  But she is cute, so what’s to be done?
