PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

What the Peeps did on Easter

On Easter Morning, the Peeps got up early to look for the arrival of the Easter Bunny.Then they got dressed in their finery to join the Easter Parade.

Here they are are on their Easter Bonnet./span>Then, it being Easter, they went to church.After services, they went home to watch the documentary about Peeps on CBS' Sunday Morning.

Good morning Mr. Osgood.
Did you know that many people use Peeps to make art work?
Did you know that some companies have Peep mini-diorama contests?
Here are some of the installations.

The Pink Room

Andy Warhol's lost PeepArt more PeepArt

The winner -- The Lost Tomb of thePharaoh Peep The program always ends with a sun-burst.

Here's one sunny side up -- with a holy Peep.

After the fascinating program, the Peeps decided to hang out, get some sun, and listen to some tunes.

They also planned a trip for later this summer.

(caramoor.org)Then they boarded a train, where they had to deal with lovebirds in front of them making annoying PDAs.At the zoo, they saw very familiar creatures.

Finally, after an exhausting holiday, many of the Peeps went to sleep, and dreamed of lovely beaches in Greece.But some Peeps had horrid nightmares ....

The End.

Wow, I'm shocked to find out I'm not the only person under 50 who watches CBS' Sunday Morning. Yeah us!

So the clown one is going to give me nightmares. I hate clowns. Poor peeps.

@monkey boy -- If I had known that this was for the amusement of small children, under the age of 10, I would have left out the nightmare. Tell the 3 year old that the dino and hare are wrestling. Really it's Godzilla nightmare where the hare gets munched.

@anonymous -- clowns are just scary, as are those who act like them.
