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.

It's a Good Thing

I was surfing The New York Times today (instead of working ... of course) and stumbled across this August 10th article about my "favorite" person, Martha Stewart.

"On Sept. 16, Fine Living will unveil a new original comedy series built around a provocative premise: mocking Ms. Stewart. For a half hour, two hosts will critique — in “candid and often acerbic” language, according to the channel — old clips from her 1990s cooking and craft show. Fine Living ... calls the series “Whatever, Martha!”

There's probably been a college drinking game along these lines for years and I just didn't know about it (there's one for almost anything). This is PRICELESS.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 and mocking Martha Stewart?! GENIUS

Why didn't someone -- besides Martha -- jump on this bandwagon sooner?

My Cablevision package doesn't carry Fine Living. That's NOT a good thing.
