I have taken down my contact page temporarily. I’m having to rearrange my email boxes and will reinstall the contact page when I can be sure it will send the messages to the right account. In the meantime you can send email to judy at crazybasenji dot com if you need to contact me and [...]

I will be the first to admit I have some bad habits. Okay, a lot of bad habits. And many of them would fall into the “not-good-for-me” category. But I have made some improvements. It has taken me more than fifty years, but that just proves that it’s never too late. And I still have [...]
As usual when I’ve been away for a while, the first thing I had to do to this blog was add the WordPress update. It will be interesting to see in what ways it will mess with my mind this time. Crazybasenji is coming up on its first birthday. It has taken a direction completely [...]
In the face of all the rotten things that are going on in the world right now — the earthquake in Haiti, the drunken staggering economy, the fact that I can’t find a job and have no money and may have no water or electricity, or a home, next month — I came across something [...]

If you can find one of those little gadgets that you can fill with your own juice or whatever, make your [...]

Okay, maybe [...]
I have dragged my feet all week about writing a blog entry. I started a couple, then balked. Why? you ask. Well, because all week I’ve had this “update now” prompt at the top of the page every time I log in to the blog. Bleah. Another update, about a week after the last one, [...]

Computer use causes hot flashes. I’m sure a properly conducted scientific study would turn up a direct correlation between amount of time spent in front of a computer and number of hot flashes experienced in a given time frame by women of a certain age (of which I am one). So. I always have a [...]
…or whatever. In honor of Independence Day, I’m publishing a chapter from the novel I started writing about my years in the Air Force. While based on my real experiences, it is highly, outrageously fictionalized. Sort of a “re-imagined autobiography” rather than the real thing. ‘Cause, baby, the real thing was boring. I’m publishing it [...]
