First Ride of 2026: C-O-L-D! It's March already.  Riding the bike at the gym is deadly dull and boring. Also you don't get the wind resistance and the hills. Time to get out there! Besides the spring flowers were out. My very first ride was 10 km up and down the Beltline via Mt. Pleasant Cemetery.…

First Ride of 2026: C-O-L-D!

It's March already.  Riding the bike at the gym is deadly dull and boring. Also you don't get the wind resistance and the hills. Time to get out there! Besides the spring flowers were out. My very first ride was 10 km up and down the Beltline via Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. Not too bad, despite dodging ice patches and mud.

Triffid in the House!

I have no talent with plants, but here's a weird story. Two Christmases ago, a friend gave me an amaryllis bulb. It bloomed beautifully then shed red petals all over.  I was ready to toss it in the compost bin when Ed, my husband, speculated about what would happen if we  simply left it alone. What would happen? Far from dying, it grew a profusion of long green tulip-like leaves - and stayed that way.

EAT THESE BOOKS: The House Swap and Every Breath You Take by Miranda Rijks

I don't usually read psychological thrillers so it was great to discover author, Miranda Rijks.  And through the mundane route of an Amazon book recommendation, no less. I've now devoured two of her thrillers, The House Swap and Every Breath You Take, after purchasing both at a ridiculously low price that really discredits the quality of Rijks's prose and her plotting.

EAT THIS BOOK: The King of Ashes by S. A. Cosby

I love both reading and writing noir crime fiction. When it comes to modern day noir authorts, it's no secret that I'm a big fan of Sean Cosby's work.  Cosby is a superb stylist, which makes his work a joy to read. More importantly, he give readers true insight into what it means to be African American in today's USA. He also shares some unusual knowledge because his wife is a funeral director.
