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.

That Time I Saw POTUS: January 10, 2015

Sadly, my (first) trip to DC last year had to come to an end and I had to wend my way home. But no trip to DC would be complete without a sighting of the big man himself, POTUS.


I didn't say it was the real POTUS.

I just said there was a sighting... in the gift shop... at Union Station. By a very one dimensional version.

It was another beautiful sunny Amtrak train trip home, with all the free wifi I could enjoy, while texting to catch up on work, keep people apprised about half hour delays due to people falling down boarding the trains in Baltimore, and for me to stay plugged in to take pictures out the window. I did look up a few times to snap the sights.
