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 season is it?

Sometime spring can sneak up on us ... before we have a chance to take down the winter/holiday decorations. This was the scene outside the Big J just last week.

Big Wintery Snowflake Twinkle Light Decorations
Note the flowering leafy buds.Today, it's supposed to be in the high 70s-80, and those flowery leafy buds? Full on leaves.

Two weeks ago I was wearing my winter coat. Today I'm complaining that the a/c isn't working in the building. What happened to spring?

Krippy -- I guess this means that eventually all your snow will melt and you'll be able to send the kids outside. There's HOPE!
