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.

Off to Play: Girl time with Amelia, Christine, and Melodi

c. 2012 at Governor's Island

More pictures soon, but off to NYC to play with Christine and Amelia and meet Amelia's new "daughter," a poodle named Melodi. I've been overbaking and food prepping all week. I think I made too much, but party-time means FOOOOOOD.

Nuts,
Crudite,
Crackers
Pesto Pinwheels,
Brownies,
Cookies,
and homemade dog biscuits

LATER:

It was a perfectly wonderfully, hot, sunscreen-needed, late "summer" NYC afternoon of talking, grazing around the roof-top kitchen bar, meeting new puppy niece Melodi, and hanging with the ladies. 

I think I need a roof-top deck, with an herb-garden border, in my next apartment.

Ms. Melodi was having none of me, but LOVES Christine
