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.

Flying the Coop

This bird is migrating out West for her annual holiday excursion to see the family.

Wish me luck with travel plans. It takes a train, a subway shuttle, the A train, the AirTrain, a plane, and a shuttlevan, plus about 12-15 hours to get me to where I need to be. Mother Nature, please be kind and give me a window of clear air going out. If I'm delayed coming back ... I don't care.

Aside from some retroblog postings, I doubt I'll be blogging too much. I have a series of ruminations that have been circling the old bean for a while now, but my head's been too busy with other things and the "voices" too loud to get them out. I'm hoping to enjoy the solitude and silence to do some writing -- that is when I'm not running around after the nieces and nephews.

May all of you have safe and happy holiday season.
