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.

Retroblog Thanksgiving 1981

Thanksgiving 1981

Here are some things that our family does to celebrate Thanksgiving.


X eats turkey dinner

__ has a family party
__ talks about what we are thankful for
__ watches the football games
__ visits relatives

Some other things our family does at Thanksgiving.


Stayes together.

I am thankful for alot of things.

The nicest thing about today was
that a parade was on.

Some many years later -- the family still eats turkey, and stays together, the parade is still on, and we're thankful for a lot of things.

We have watched football, visited relatives, had parties, and talked about what we are thankful for ... including that Dad doesn't wear Wild Turkey's Deep Woods cologne anymore.

Happy Turkey Day!
