Hunkering down at Wellspring for a winter writer’s retreat

Banish the Winter Blues–Join my creative writing workshops at the Arts Center of the Capital Region

Losing my ambition–a poem about lazy summer days

I wrote this poem in late July, and since then I’ve been following my own advice and taking it easy. But August has been unusually cool, and the past week has felt more like September. Maybe that’s why I feel ambition creeping back in ahead of schedule. Why wait for Labor Day when I can… [Read More]

Savoring the lazy days of summer

Savoring the lazy days of summer

I launched this new website on the summer solstice, right on schedule. A few days later, I had lunch at Panera with Thom Francis, my web designer, so that he could bring me up to speed on how to use and expand on the various features.
