I arrived home tonight with suitcases in hand (woohoo!). After the conference, spent a few days in Barcelona and one night in Madrid. Had much fun but happy to be back home with my dog and friends. More when I’ve recovered from jet lag and all the wine, beer, ham, cheese, bread, and olives consumed… […]

Suitcase-less in Spain
So far the trip to Spain has, well, less than ideal. I know, I know, it´s SPAIN! But US Airways was two hours delayed in Philadelphia due to a “security issue” – they had to screen a bag that they´d missed or something, and THEN they lost my bag which delayed us further so it […]
Off to Spain
I’m heading to Spain tomorrow to attend the European Conference on Digital Libraries and associated Web Archiving Workshop (hey, it pays the bills). I am not bringing the laptop — too nervous about losing it — so will be checking the ‘net randomly when I can find access. I may try to post mid-trip but […]
Lulu Blooker Prize Entry
I’ve entered Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage: Classic Advice for Contemporary Dilemmas to be judged in the non-fiction category of the Lulu Blooker Prize. Blooks are books created from content originally found on a blog or Web site, so mine seemed like the perfect fit. The competition is tough (judging my the […]
Lynn Peril’s new book
My friend Lynn Peril has published her second book: College Girls: Bluestockings, Sex Kittens, and Co-Eds, Then and Now. Lynn and I met in cyberspace many years ago and bonded over our collections of advice books. Drool over hers here. My copy of College Girls just arrived so I haven’t had time to read it […]
Much Delayed Book Signing Report
I know that by taking the laptop on the road, and having wireless almost everywhere, I had no excuse for not giving you minute by minute updates about my whereabouts and goings-on while on my dual weddings tour and book tour, but hey, I was on vacation. What do you expect. So, continuing from where […]
Tag Cloud Fun
I’m slowly making progress adding books to my LibraryThing account: 160 entered so far. What’s fun is seeing how the tag cloud is developing. Hmm… I seem to have a lot of books that I’ve tagged “sex” – really, I’m not a pervert!
1923: Classroom Manners
Sharpen your pencils, plug in your keyboards – it’s back to school time! To bring in the new year, I was going to share with you something from Gael Greene’s Sex and the College Girl, but it seemed a bit too scholarly for this crowd, with all those statistics about young virgins and loose girls. […]
Playing House
I’m back from my vacation/wedding/book signings trip! I’ve actually been back since Sunday but this first post-trip week back at work has been a killer. I’m zonked. I promise to post more about my adventures in New England in the next few days. You’ll be happy to hear that I found some great books in […]
Brattleboro Blogging
Hi all, wedding #1 and book signing #1 are done. I’m in Brattleboro, Vermont, right now, enjoying the cool temps, low humidity, and the easy to settle into rest and relaxation. Did a radio gig this morning on WKVT with Steve West and Gorty Baldwin to promote the booksigning tonight, that was tons of fun! […]
