long time no post
I haven't posted in a long time. LIfe has been crazy. I have a new granddaughter, Danielle. And my step-dad died--the only dad I've had for the last 35 years. I've been fighting depression and trying to teach at the same time. It's been tough ( Read more... ) -
dead Irish babies, maternity homes, thoughts
As I read about the 800 skeletons of Irish children found in a septic tank in Tuam, I keep thinking about my own past. My father's birth mother was Irish. She was seduced by her employer and got pregnant. When it was found out, she was fired. That girl raised her son for two years on her own. I always wondered why, in the middle of the Great ( Read more... ) -

I'm back
Now that the election's over, I've come out of hiding. It was getting too intense for me. So, anyone have any well-written Harry Potter(Malfoys, Blacks, Marauders, Weasleys, Founders, etc.), Hunger Games, Jane Austen, Ender, Horatio Hornblower, Dollhouse, or Firefly fan fiction to recommend?
