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.

Programming Notes


PROGRAMMING NOTE:
 I am RETROBLOGGING a LOT of 2015 but posting as if it were "live." 

Stay tuned and poke around through the archives. 
I am working my way forwards in 2016 and backwards in 2015 (a bit). 

Thanks.

Here We Go Again: Mondays after Vacations


I'd rather be reading. Reentry - especially after such a fun weekend - is hard.

Framing Up a New Year with a New View?

Rounding the bend, in fields of gold.

Fire Island National Seashore

Delightful lighthouses - with absolutely necessary - necessities.  
I want that window.
 Close as a selfie as you are going to get.

 No one, except me and my friend, as far as the eye can see.

 Focusing in on the tiniest details, right underfoot.

2016 Washes In

Looking West, and then looking East.

Here's to washing away the last of 2015. 
May 2016 bring you only waves of good things.
