In 2002, I had just started writing. I wrote every night from 9-midnight — after the kids went to bed. Yes, I had to give up television, but in hindsight it was
Fall Premieres: Let’s Talk TV!
Those of you who know me know I’m a TV addict. I always have been. Yet, when I was working full time in the State Capitol and started seriously writing, I gave u
Be the best you can be … the slogan sounds trite because we repeat it often enough, but when you really think about it, it’s deeper than most people think.

It’s not your parents’ family TV time.
Case in point: In our household the family gathers around the boob tube for Breaking Bad.
But now that it is over, Son and I have been channel-surfing for other shows to watch together. (I refuse to watch sports, whereas he’ll only lift his head during Devious Maids when one of the leads appears in something sexy.)
Believe it or not, we’ve found common ground in Castle.

I’ve never done Comic Con–the Sci-Fi and fantasy fan convention–although there are times when I wish I had.
Seriously, I have no excuse for sitting it out. These events happen all over the country–all over the world, in fact–all year long.
It’s like Halloween, for adults. Okay, make that adults who are kids at heart.
Nothing wrong with that.

Detroit has brought back the Dodge Dart. I had one of those, a long, long time ago–in fact, it was a 1966 model, which I shared with my year-older sister It was purchased for $600 of a summer’s worth of babysitting earnings.
When I was growing up in Georgia, you could get your driving learner’s permit at fifteen, and your driver’s license at sixteen. For teenagers growing up in a split level suburbia that only a few years before had been cow pastures , this rite of passage was a necessary evil for taking in the bright lights of the big city some thirty miles away: Atlanta.

What can I say? Fast women and country roads. There’s got to be a song in that.

Like many of us, I was weened on Nancy Drew, not to mentionThe Hardy Boys, Cherry Ames (she was the nurse sleuth) and a family of children with two sets of twins The Bobbsey Twins—
But how, and when, did I make the leap to adult mysteries?
Recently I tried to reach back into the deep, dark recesses of my mind, in the hope of remembering the who, what, when, where and how…
But of course: Sherlock Holmes.
Martin and I took a walk yesterday, to San Francisco National Cemetery in the Presidio. There were over 30,000 thousand flags snapping in the brisk wind: one on each grave, others on the many flagpoles that dot this beautiful 29-acre park, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.
On the way there, we talked about our projects. We are writers who work out of our home. Despite the proximity of our workplace, the actual act of what we do is a solitary endeavor. These walks are the way in which we catch up.
Like our walks, our conversations take winding paths. Because of our destination, our conversation turned to the soldiers we knew and our hopes and prayers for their safety. In fact, one’s mother is someone you know, too: Karin Tabke.
