Welcome to the first episode of my new series, Rants from The Grammar Bitch, in which I talk about grammar, sure--what else is a former English instructor going to talk about, anyway?--but also about pretty much anything else that's on my mind that day:  art, life, why television is the devil. You know.

Join me--I promise you won't be quizzed about the difference between a gerund and a participial phrase. Promise!

In Episode 1, I rant about the mis-use of reflexive pronouns and talk about wine and the tale of Dr. Muff and The Trans-Vaginal Ultrasound. What's not to love?

In this first podcast, I talk to my friend Wendy about her four-decades-long journal practice. When she was in high school, she decided she was going to have an interesting life, and she's kept journals along the way to capture it. She's also a bookbinder, so she maked her journals to her specifications, and it's fun to hear what someone so passionate about journaling has to say about something they know so well.
