  • Jewelry Shopping for the Husband

    Not for the faint of heart or the impatient of soul. I thought I did well. I snuck a ring of his away, measured it in millimeters, looked up several internet sites, checked my math multiple times, ordered a new ring. Got the wrong size. Too big. Hubby appreciated the effort, and told me he…

  • Alternate Timelines

    I’m working on building an alternate timeline for my steampunk. Big surprise, I know, but what I find interesting is how one little event, by a NOBODY, can have a ripple effect.
