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.

Librarian Stereotypes in Comedy

That Ellen DeGeneres is one pretty funny lady. In her blog she poked fun at my second profession.

Favorite quote from the entry:

Have you ever been yelled at by a librarian? It tickles. I bet when they go out at night, librarians are totally different. It's probably something like "Librarians Gone Wild." I bet its just like the"Whitesnake" video. You remember the video? They take their glasses off, the wind starts blowing in their hair and end up on the hood of a Camaro. ... It's because they can't see. They think it's their bed.

I'm sure someone out there in Libraryland is going to make a spoof of this and it will end up on youtube, but it won't be me.
