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.

Which Jane Austen Character are You?

I know most people want to be Lizzie Bennet, but I'm not at all surprised by the results of this quiz. I identify with Anne on so many levels, and there were moments on recent family trips when it was all I could do to keep from laughing at just HOW much I was like Anne. Not the easily persuaded part, but so many other aspects of her particular situation.

I love Persuasion, especially this adaptation with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds, so I'm delighted that it's the picture that comes up with the results. When nothing else is on t.v., I pull out the Austen flicks and spend many a happy moment wandering down the streets of Bath and at the seawall on the coast.

I am Anne Elliot!
