Where’s Melia?
I’ll skip all of the ‘I know, I haven’t blogged in a while and here’s why’ crap. I don’t have a really good reason other than general busy-ness and lack of a desire to post to this one. I haven’t been Ficleting either which sort of breaks my heart a little. So I’ve sworn to [...]
Back in the saddle
Ok, back now. Calmer. I probably can’t/shouldn’t talk about it online much but the long and short of it is the paper went through some layoffs this past week, including 2 single moms, a guy who had just gotten married, and my very good friend.

Tornado-palooza
It was quite a bumpy evening around here. The tornado watch started in the afternoon and by the time I got off work, things were rumbly and roiling out towards Kearney. I picked up the kidlet from work and we went home to keep an eye on the alerts. If it got bad we were [...]
