Lorenzo, formerly known as Loretta, crossed over recently. He had a complicated life, filled with ups and downs and gender changes. And I think he deserves a moment of acknowledgment on this site, since he has played such an integral part of my blogging life here in the past couple of years.
As you may recall,…
Ever since making the transition from Loretta to Lorenzo, he has done a very diligent job of ruling the roost. Every day Lorenzo stands watch over his girls to make sure they are comfortable and laying.

I don't have writers cramp yet.…
Grandma P. and I had a recent exchange via Gmail, as we are prone to do. We like to talk about projects. And radio programs. She tells me what Arthur Schwartz and Joan Hamburg are up to in New York and I tell her what the latest title of my book is. She has much…
In honor of spring, there was a hurricane at Tulipwood.
Massive trees that have been around since my great grandfather went down like dominoes. One hit another, which hit another, which hit another... and down they went, and up came the roots.
