I started a new blog a couple weeks ago and today I'm thinking about taking down my posts and starting over with it. Why? Because although I'm passionate about my writing, I'm just not that keen on the topic I picked for the blog. I'm interested in it sure, but when I wondered why I was...

Gentle Readers, it's been a weird couple of weeks. The economy is wacky, the election is never going to end, and I've had a cold. Also, a couple of deaths have affected the soap opera community.
First off, Irene Dailey died. She was Aunt Liz Matthews on Another World, but she was also well known...

Gentle Readers, something odd is about to end. We have no idea how it got here, and now it's going out into that good night. It's been a long strange trip. No, I'm not talking about George Bush's presidency! I'm talking about the soap opera, Passions.
