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.

Photo of the Day: Calm before the Storm

Sunset tonight. Evidence that the days ARE getting longer. 
There was at least one bit of blue before the next storm and socked in series of gray days.

Photo of the Day: Holy Places

Looking for the light? Looking for sanctuary? Look for the library. Look for the librarians.

Katonah Village Library at dusk, with the planets in alignment with perfect light.
Libraries can be holy places.

Photo of the Day: Sunset Signs of Hope

The days are getting longer.
If you catch an earlier train, and remember to look up,
you'll catch sight of some fiery ribbons of light.

Photos of the Day: Rural Retreat of the Rich

 The moon was rising and the sun was setting 
when we left our annual winter work retreat today.
We threw around a lot of ideas. 
It was a pretty Herculean amount of talking and planning. 

Now to keep practicing and refining our techniques.

Fundraising is not a sprint, or a marathon.

It's like a decathlon:
lots of different skills, honed over time;
you have to cross-train;
 and while you may medal in one thing --
it's the combined total of all the events which wins you the gold.

Photos of the Day: Sun, Sand, Sculpting

 
 Cape Cod, October  2013

Whilst we wait for Mother Nature to put on her nightly show, Mother waits, and I take Nature's bounty and create more of a tribute in the sands - with streamers, ribbons and purses from the sea.

Photos of the Day: September Sauron Sunsets

Sun setting over New Jersey, as viewed from 16th floor of NYC hotel
  "Concealed within his fortress, the lord of Mordor sees all.  
His gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh.  
You know of what I speak, Gandalf: 
a great Eye, lidless, wreathed in flame."
—Saruman  (J.R.R. Tolkien)
Does the Eye of Sauron make our "Minas Tirith" burn?
