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.

a-ha = AWESOME! Part 1

I'm still basking and processing the experience from last week. But for now .... here are a few pictures, strangely, in reverse and random order. My poor little Nikon was having a very hard time zooming in the dark, not being stablized, and not using the flash. Here are some of the better in-focus shots.




I was SO focused on getting to the concert, that I totally paid no attention to the flirty Dublin boys behind us, the lost tourists (no, this isn't the line for Lion King), the tourists taking photos of the mounted police officers and street vendors, WHY they were taking photos, or the fact that had we had tickets to the concert a weekend earlier we would have been evacuated because of annoying insurrectionists -- as we could have been standing inches away from bad parkers and incendiary devices!

That's life in NYC in this day and age, and you can't let it keep you from going about your business and fulfulling your dreams.

Coming soon: More pictures, more adventures (The Shushing Librarian came with us, need I say more?!), and even better yet, VIDEO!
