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.

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day!


I've been hanging on to this photo for MONTHS waiting for just the right day to post it. When I remembered J's annual fascination with Talk Like a Pirate Day, I knew this would be the day when I decided to share it with the world. Can't you just hear him "ARGGGGGH"ing at me? The sneer takes the cake.

While modern day pirates use iPhones, drink water, and aren't ashamed to be seen in public with their sisters, if you need pointers on being a proper pirate, click to the official site here.

Heh. I totally knew who that was right away. It's as if I've adopted myself into your family.

@moosh in indy.: Ha — looks like I could use one of those Yummie Tummie's, ne?

@Auntie: you're dead to me.
