The Dance of the Leaves seems like a good idea when you don't have to get them into bags and out to the curb!

Yep. Reading fantasy time! Reality? A lot scruffier (yogas and pony!) and a lot less relaxing!

TOO MUCH INFORMATION?

In my latest Millionaire Match column, a few thoughts on that NSFW #taylorswift song -- and privacy. And check out the new column on my website, all about #relationships, trending topics, and a little Grandma (or Grandpa!) wisdom.

#TuesdayThoughts

on the #media landscape from small-town #Vermont DJ Jaye Jordan, describing a #newspaper reporter friend:

"If I'm a dinosaur, she's an ammonite, one of those gorgeous spiral mollusks that had been fossils for thousands of years when the dinos crawled out of the muck."

...and jumping right back into it -- or right out the window! Even Kate Greenaway can't fix a Tuesday that feels like Monday!
