WHO? My name is Laura Hartmark. I write. I am a writer. This is my blog. You are a reader. And you are reading this. I’m glad we are on the same page.
Now that we have cleared that up, let’s get on with it.
WHAT IS HERE: There are over 100 posts here. So use the calendar at the bottom of each page to search for a post by date. If you remember that I wrote something about washing machines, living to 112 or the letter W, use the search tool. Or browse using the category cloud. I personally like Illogics, but you can do what you want, Dear Reader.
WHERE ELSE?
<——–Find me on Twitter right there.
Find me places like:
The Boston Review,
Abdul Ali’s Words Matter,
Open Letter on Race,
The Basin Blog,
The Tidal Basin Review
…and so on.
DOPPELGANGERS & MIRAGES: I have never written anything about the Exxon Valdez, although something was credited to me and then translated into Russian and so on ad nauseum. Filmmaker Terence O’Malick also appears to have used some photos in a film which he credited to me but are actually not mine. I once wrote about High Fructose Corn Syrup and Aspartame for a gig called SPROL and so many things were erroneously attributed to me after that. I wish. I am far too lazy. THERE IS ONE LAURA HARTMARK in AMERICA. It’s me.
NON-READERS: If you are not much of a reader, you might just find me around, rabble-rousing. But if you try to find me and fail, stop there. There’s nothing I love more than fava beans, a cold glass of Chianti and working some neat Anti-Stalking Laws.

WRITE HERE: If you stop by and read a post, let me know that you were here by commenting. If you know I love and respect you, comment twice or thrice a fortnight. 
PLEASE REMEMBER:
I don’t mess with you unless you know the eye of the duck.
And if you do know the eye of the duck, you should be so lucky.
WE’RE GLAD, TOO!
Hey Laura, how are you? I check out your blog every once and a while, I love it. We went to HS together at Guilderland (I think I told you that before) if this the Laura Hartmark I think it is…I hope all is well with you, and maybe we could catch up one day!
loved the white guys!
I see we are using the same “theme”…
Always wondered why it is so narrow?
DR
It cracks me up that the Harvard philosopher is stuck on the width of the template. Of course. I dig the narrowness. And the grayness. It challenges me to be neither.
“Game” reports that it is password protected so I am unable to read it (I had subscribed for notifications of new posts). Not sure if this lockout is by design or accident. In any case, I hope you are well. I enjoy your writing so I hope you create another publicly accessible entry soon.
Hi Dave, Hello and apologies for the inconvenience. I’m featured as the guest blogger at Tidal Basin Review this month, so find “Game” here: http://thebasinblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/game/ I may make a few password protected “draft” posts here in the mean time, but look for me at http://thebasinblog.wordpress.com for the month of November. Cheers & best regards, Laura
Maximum wage–what a brilliant idea. But not for writers.
Laura, I found your grandfathers book [Psychodynamics of Alcoholism] in a church library in Saint Paul, MN and would love to know more about the man. I’ve read both of your posts and would like to find the Door of Hope. The address for the Citizens Commission on Alcoholism, Inc. is located in close to Washington Square in Minneapolis and this once was the heart of “Skid Row”
I’ve been in the recovery game for 18 years and this has been a great read.
thanks
