Exploring the Past to Improve the Future
By Eilene Lyon It really doesn’t count as a byline, but it’s my first recollection of something I wrote being published somewhere—even though it was just a question. In this case, it appeared in the Teen Action Line column of the Miami Herald international edition on Nov. 17, 1974. For a 12-year-old, this was a... Continue Reading →
By Eilene Lyon Losing a Parent I abruptly abandoned the blogosphere a couple weeks ago. Usually I give a little notice that I won’t be reading, commenting, or posting. I'm officially back now. About ten years ago, my mother began exhibiting signs of dementia. For the past six, she has lived in memory care in... Continue Reading →

Given the interest, I decided to expand it into a full-blown article... Continue Reading →

But it wasn't an entirely bad year - I had the company of my fellow bloggers to cheer me along the way. This is the third anniversary for the Myricopia... Continue Reading →
By Eilene Lyon Well here I am. When I clicked on "Write" the same old classic editor appeared, so it seems the forced changeover to block editor is on hold. Or maybe it was all just a scare. Or perhaps I'm just being given a little grace period. Who knows? Yes, this is my 300th... Continue Reading →
By Eilene Lyon This isn't a permanent departure. But I don't know when I will return. I went under the knife yesterday - yep, got a new knee. I assume all went well and I am getting a little snooze in before going home. At any rate, Job One for the next couple months will... Continue Reading →
