A Dane, a Brit and an American walk into an airport. Sounds like the beginnings of a great joke, right? What if I told you they were all looking for Flight #666? That’s not the punchline, it’s the true story of three lucky guys I know who have boarded the friendly skies via Bruce Air, […]
The A to Z Music-Fan Connection: A is for… Auctions
Kicking off the A to Z Challenge and my Music-Fan Connection theme with…rock up on the auction block: music auctions! What do you think of when you hear the word ‘auction’? Do you think of stern-faced muckety-mucks silently holding up signs on sticks at Sotheby’s, or maybe one of those fast-talking, tongue-twisting auctioneers? How about […]
Blogging from A to Z Challenge
The Blogging Gods must be crazy – I’m attempting the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge once again! Why, you ask? Or, as one of my friends reacted, “Noooooooooooooooo!” Writers, when you ask them why they write, say they cannot NOT write. I think author Sara Gruen recently said it the best: “The only […]
What is Louder than Love?
Is there anything in the world LOUDER THAN LOVE? Sometimes love comes barging in, as bold and as jarring as an air horn in a Drive-Thru window, unexpected and uninvited. Sometimes it goes as quickly as it arrives, leaving you with a thumping heart, sweaty palms and a head full of unspoken words. Other times, love […]
On the Brink of 2013
As the last chapter closes in the book of 2012, Blogging on the Brink would like to cheekily raise a glass to ring in 2013: “May you never grow old And never get caught And never desire What others have got May you get what you want Get what you need May we never get […]
An Ode to Obsolescence
Ah, the fabled abode tome. Today, I confront my address book. No, not the list of contacts generated within my various email accounts. I’m talking the old school, hardcore puppy. The one with actual information written in and scribbled out. If you’re over the age of thirty, you probably still have one. And whether you’re […]
Going Gray on the Great White Way
Last September, over two dozen women met for dinner on the top floor of Canaletto in the Venetian, Las Vegas. Ages, professions and home states all varied. Each woman’s background was as different and unique as the next one. Most had never met one another before, at least not in person. Conversation flowed, cameras snapped. Laughter […]
NaNoWriMo Revisited, or Take a Leap
I came across a great quote the other day: “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” It’s like asking someone what they would do if they won the lottery: endless possibilities. In this case, it would be a supermarket sweep of hopes and dreams. Those hopes and dreams are up on the […]
Of Mud and Blood
September is National ITP Awareness Month. I’ve known about this platelet disorder since 2005 when I was diagnosed with it (and I recently wrote about it here). But never have I been so keenly aware of my own lack of platelets than earlier this month after completing the Dirty Girl Mud Run. The day was […]
