On January 6th, I will have been blogging for a year.  Insane, I know.  I think I have seven followers however, because this is blog number 50,  lack of followers hasn’t stymied my blog vigor.   Well, it’s hardly vigor.  Once a week I sit down at my computer with a blank mind.  I swear, a completely blank mind. Then a crazy idea enters my head and before impulse control can kick in, I’m off and running.  So far, I written about:

• The History of Tuna Noodle Casserole
• Tasmanian Devils
• Giant Red Haired Cannibals

to name just a few.

1. Dog Daze – an ode to small town Fourth of Julys 
2. Cloud Forests and Capybaras – interview with author Cinda MacKinnon (includes a picture of her adorable dog Gaston)

3. Moby Jan – golfing in the Mayan Jungle
4. #rukidding – tweeting from gynecological stirrups

5. Dem Dam Hippies’ Christmas in Have You Been Saved Missouri – the Hong Kong flu and an ice storm enhance the Xmas experience
6. Shattered Glass, Shattered Lives – Melody Paris describing her inspiration for the cover of FLIPKA
7. Black-eyed Susans – memories of a tornado in Michigan
8. Sigmund Freudicon at Your Service –  the first couple of pages of FLIPKA posted by Twissel’s handler after her breakdown
9. Release Anxieties – post publication jitters
10. Man Training 1.0 – Hubby attempts to train squirrels, squirrels instead train man.

I keep expecting someone to pop up and say “stop this blogging nonsense.  You clearly have nothing to say that makes any sense”  but they haven’t and so I suppose I’ll continue on next year, however, henceforth I’ll include the word “dog” in all my titles.  Then I’ll make it a point to post pictures every doggie and kitty I come across.
