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.

27 Jennifers -- Fun little ditty

The name Jennifer was very popular for a period of time in the 1970s and as a result, many of my generation went to school with a Jennifer or two or three. My own address book and h.s. and college yearbooks show at least two Jennifer C's, one Jennifer D, three Jen/Jenn/Jenny N's, as well as the rest of the alphabet (except Q and Z). My first summer home from college I had this rule for phone messages, if a Jennifer calls for me, please try and get some additional information, like a last name, (initials won't hack it -- see above), and how I know them, i.e. work, church, college, etc. Seriously, it was bad. It wasn't as bad as 27 Jennifers, but still ...

Song: 27 Jennifers
Cd: Golden Delicious
Artist: Mike Doughty

This little ditty's been in my head all day -- thus the post.
