I had a post blow up on Bluesky this week. Not like, a million views or anything, but for someone with only 3000- followers, to post something and have it reposted almost 100 times with460 likes (as of right now)…well, that seems like a lot. And I talked to Kevin about the fact that even
Today was the darkest day in a minute, but I guess we carry on. What choice do we have? I remember after John died, people telling me how strong I was. I didn’t understand that. Being strong is facing a situation about which you have a choice and choosing the hard thing. All I was
You may notice that right now, am averaging a book a day, far ahead of my planned book a week. This is due to two factors. Maybe three, but the first two are sort of two sides of the same coin. One, it’s fully and completely winter here, and we are all nesting a bit,

Today’s post started as so many have in January, with one of them fancy fauxanuary prompts: In what ways do you communicate online? First, I have to admit that I was happy that this was such an easy and direct question. I’m in the middle of the latest Louise Penny Armand Gamache book and except
What is your favorite animal? First, I just like animals. All of ‘em. I like sloths and I like monkeys and I like turtles. But I think that there is something special about Dogs and Cats. And I have had both, two dogs in my life and seven or a hundred c ants (it’s hard
