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.

Happy 10th Birthday Drew!

This guy is a whole ten years old now. 
10. 
A Decade.
Officially a pre-teen. 
Holy cow. 
10!?!
 This guy has become a hard core New England Patriots football fan 
and is excited they are going to the Big Sports Ball thing.

He's also excited to explored all kinds of new activities this year, including:
Karate ...
HIIIIIIIIIII YAH!
 

   I love exploring, chatting, and playing with Drew when I get to visit.
 
 
 And am glad (and jealous) and the gets to go exploring and kayaking with Grumpa.
Yo, Drew!
 Don't change your little face!
 Or stop sending me notes and letters.

I love you. A lot.
Don't grow up too fast. I want you to want to hang out with me for a long time yet.
