Carry On My Wayward Son

The boys at Sandia Cave

Mr. 17 graduates from the science and math high school this Saturday. This fall he attends a university on a full scholarship to study astrophysics. And Mr. 15 is finishing his freshman year at the media arts high school where he developed - all by himself, from scratch - a fantasy-based video game complete with 3-D rendered landscape and characters. It's in beta mode, and folks around the world are playing it.

Who will I write about when they've left the nest? I find that my stories are growing thin. The boys have friends, 17 has a car, they make their own adventures. Once in a while they remember me, pull me into their stories, but they are sliding onto a dance floor with a disco ball and sweaty young bodies, a club that doesn't allow middle-aged moms who like to merengue.

17 made me a mix CD for my car last week. This is the first song:

I'm featured writer at Parlez Moi!

Please head on over to Kathleen Valentine's Parlez Moi Blog, where I am featured writer today! She has posted a little essay I wrote about The Book That Ate My Life.

Thanks, Kathleen!

Good fortune in the time of chaos...

I just finished writing a story on a Mayan healing session I had last week, and may post it today. If not, look for it in a couple of weeks. I will be offline for a while as I tackle some personal stuff.
