Late last month, hubby and I attended PrepFest Columbus. We learned about it on a prepper website we were exploring after finishing Jason Hanson’s Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Life: A Former CIA Officer Reveals Safety and Survival Techniques to Keep You and Your Family Protected.

Happy (Santa) Holiday 2015
My parents had a very stoic take on childhood imagination. There’s no Santa, my brother and I were told plainly. No Easter Bunny. No tooth fairy. No God. If we wanted to be creative we could practice chemistry. Or physics. Or study geods. I’m not bitter. I look on my parents’ lack of ability toContinueContinue reading “Happy (Santa) Holiday 2015”

A few weeks passed, I hadn’t gotten around to it yet, and I got another $15 charge and, mysteriously, my savings account had seemingly been converted to a checking account. What the heck?

Plum Dragon Book Club: Let’s Talk About Power and Madness
As promised, I read Karen Armstrong’s follow up to “Through the Narrow Gate” for the Plum Dragon book club. The book is titled “Beginning the World” and opens about two weeks after Armstrong’s initial memoir about life in a convent closes.
