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.

Hi(gh)! It's almost your Happy Birthday!

 Why do I feel like someone is watching me?

It was about nine years ago about this time, the week around my birthday, when a delivery man showed up at my place of work and gave me a present - blue legal papers saying I was being sued for $5.5million. So you can understand why I am a bit paranoid when people show up at my place of employment with a delivery directed to whatever butchered version of my name they can stumble over.

Flash forward to yesterday around lunch, when I ran over to the building with the fridge holding my leftovers and ...
a deliveryman stumbled over a version of my name - holding these.

Believe me. I have checked and doublechecked and then verified it with them. Thanks Mom & Dad.
We all look forward to seeing how long these hold up - and them re-appropriating some of the helium for some antics. If they don't set off the motion detectors first ...
