“Groundhog found fog. New snows and blue toes. Fine and dandy for Valentine candy. Snow spittin’; if you’re not mitten-smitten, you’ll be frostbitten! By jing-y feels spring-y.” The Old Farmer’s Almanac It isn’t quite feeling spring-y, yet. But February is mercifully behind us, so perhaps there is hope. Here are my book reviews for theContinue reading “Book Reviews for February 2019”

Valley Summers And Chicago Autumns
Originally posted on elizabeth kipps:
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lizzy, who loved two baseball teams very much. The first team was in her own humble home town, bringing joy to all who lived there year after year (especially to Lizzy). One summer, a young ballplayer named Daniel Murphy traveled far…
What I Believe (And Why)
“This world of ours has some purpose; and if there is a purpose, there is a Person. I had always felt life first as a story: and if there is a story, there is a Storyteller.” G.K. Chesterton I have been plugging away at this blogging thing for long enough now that I’ve begun toContinue reading “What I Believe (And Why)”
A Not-So-Triumphant (And Kinda Anticlimactic) Return
Hello, world. It’s been a while (NOTE: it hasn’t, actually. But I wrote this post before the one I put up the other day). So long, in fact, that I might suggest the internet has entirely forgotten my existence (but not really, because the internet is super creepy and remembers everything about all of us).Continue reading “A Not-So-Triumphant (And Kinda Anticlimactic) Return”

What I Did On My Summer Vacation (By Lizzy Kipps)
It was more of a stay-cation sort of thing, actually. And I didn’t do a whole heck of a lot. This about sums it up: -Got my eyes checked out and ordered new spectacles. With luck, I will be looking like a 1940’s-era librarian very soon. -Story revisions. And more story revisions. And yet moreContinue reading “What I Did On My Summer Vacation (By Lizzy Kipps)”
Easter Eggs
I do love a good Easter egg. Not the plastic doo-dads you hide in the yard. Not the hard boiled versions you steep in Paas. The sort of Easter egg I am referring to is defined by the Urban Dictionary as “A hidden item placed in a movie, television show, or otherwise visual media forContinue reading “Easter Eggs”
Baby Sloths
I was not going to write about baby sloths today. I was going to say something about Civil War battle reenactments, because I went to one last week. Yes, and I even took photos, to prove it. See? BUT, as I really do not have many positive feelings for Civil War battle reenactments, itContinue reading “Baby Sloths”
The Fabulous Vocabulary Of Les Miserables
“Do you hear the people sing Lost in the valley of the night? It is the music of a people Who are climbing to the light. For the wretched of the earth There is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end And the sun will rise.” I once read Les Miserables.Continue reading “The Fabulous Vocabulary Of Les Miserables”
Miscellany
With this blog being all new, and there being so many possible topics to write about and whatnot, I’ve found it difficult to narrow it down to just one. I offer, instead of something entertaining or insightful, this random mishy-mashy list of miscellany I find myself fond of lately. It’s like, Oprah’s Favorite Things, onlyContinue reading “Miscellany”
