‘Twas the night before NaNoWriMo and all the humans in the house were sick.
Not sure if this is allergies or an actual cold we’re passing back and forth. What hubby has now seems like what I had last week.
I’ve been challenged to write a book on my observations regarding culture change, workplace dysfunction, and risk […]

NaNoWriMo begins tomorrow.
The kickoff party this past Saturday was fun. Twenty or so people, all ready to work. People who have never done NaNo have no idea how much fun the event is.
People who hear of NaNo either think we are all crazy or consider the event overrated.
I had a bystander ask me what the […]

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is coming up. Fast.
Get ready.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WEATHER WARNING AND A WEATHER WATCH?
A three to five minute steady tone on the base siren will be used to alert personnel of an imminent peacetime emergency. If you should hear the alert signal, monitor radio, TV, base public address systems, or Security Forces for additional instructions. Do not […]
