http://answergirlnet.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
If I don't know, I'll look it up. Tuesday, September 24, 2013. What I Learned From Stephen King. When my twin sister and I were eight or nine years old, we were visiting our grandfather and step-grandmother (also my great-aunt, but that's another story, and not scandalous) in Charleston, South Carolina. We were driving through the Lowcountry when we passed a caravan of red-haired people who looked unusual, almost like circus folk. I asked who they were. Brought all that back to me.

I'm not a Scot, and I don't vote in the United Kingdom. I have no opinion on the referendum, nor am I entitled to have one. But the debate has stirred a lot of thoughts in my distracted brain. The age of nations is past. It remains for us now, if we do not wish to perish, to set aside the ancient prejudices and build the earth.". It's the teenager's ...

Jonas aka Snowzilla Binge Watching. January 24, 2016. I can’t say I like being stuck inside due to dangerously inclement weather, but I was very fortunate that my family and I were able to remain safe during the blizzard just past. I did lose some income due to cancelled work, and I probably got a little fatter due to a sedentary weekend. On the other hand, this storm had a particularly fortuitous timing from my viewpoint. After all, tomorrow it’s right back to the daily grind. Still Getting Spins -ITCL.

If I don't know, I'll look it up. Monday, August 18, 2014. Real Housewives of My Existential Crisis. On Saturday afternoon, through no deliberate choice of my own, I wound up watching several episodes of "The Real Housewives of Orange County. But the show upset me, and two days later, I'm still trying to figure out why. I can't figure out what the shows or their participants want from their audience. Are we supposed to mock them, or judge them? That’s not an exaggeration. How do they think that being on ...

If I don't know, I'll look it up. Sunday, February 01, 2015. Social Media for Authors - The Basics. It happened again this morning: I followed back an author who'd followed me on Twitter, and got a direct message asking me to "support indie authors" by buying this author's book.

If I don't know, I'll look it up. Friday, March 28, 2014. Five Things I Had Forgotten About Virginia Beach. Now, however, it's 200 miles door to door from my house to James and Sara's, so there'll be a lot of the Southside in my future. In fact, I'll be there on April 12 to see Bruce Springsteen, and I expect to be back a lot over the summer. (Summer traffic is a nightmare, but my work is flexible enough to let me travel at off-hours.). Not everything has changed, though. The Virginia Beach SPCA. 3 It's ...

Answer Girl: Social Media and My/Your/Our Terrible Summer
http://answergirlnet.blogspot.com/2014/08/social-media-and-myyourour-terrible.html
If I don't know, I'll look it up. Thursday, August 21, 2014. Social Media and My/Your/Our Terrible Summer. The other day I did something I hadn't done in much too long: I read a daily newspaper, on paper. I was meeting friends at The Tombs for an early dinner, and for once in my life I got there before they did. I had a beer at the bar, and picked up a newspaper lying by the register. I haven't subscribed to a daily paper in about ten years, which embarrasses me. I pay for The New York Times. The one con...

If I don't know, I'll look it up. Saturday, May 17, 2014. On Treasures and Treasure Houses. I was on my own today in New York City, on my own with no particular place to go and no particular person to do it with, once I’d fed the three bulldogs I’m looking after for my friend Megan.
