I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better.

Writing in this morning's @massterlist.com, Jon Keller points to Trump as driving large gender gaps in new Mass. polling. This chart (which I made in 2014) shows they're older than that.

Be advised my job with Little Miss Amelia (a cat) appears to involve arranging the blankets on ONE of her chairs for her daily 5-hour post-breakfast nap. She appears to own at least two chairs, Most of the couch, and all of the pillows of the bed. I am allowed one pillow.

Good Morning. Today I am being ordered to the Granite State for my niece's birthday. I thought I was a guest. I am not. My sister sent me a text late last night, as I dreamed of nerdy men with glasses, informing me that I would inflating millions of balloons to create a 'birthday balloon wreath."

I made lasagna for Thanksgiving. Not a traditional dish, but a major upgrade my usual 'cheese plate.' It appears to have passed muster, because my little brother took a serving, and at the end of dinner took the entire damn pan for leftovers and announced I would get the pan back when he was done.

I wiped out on my ebike pulling into the local farm stand, skidding in the mud of the parking lot, going down as I avoided someone pulling out without looking, and the appalled farmstand owners gave me a loaf of fresh-baked sourdough bread for my trouble. So I'm going to do this, like, once a week.

As I continue my journey of gaining basic kitchen skills, I am over the moon to tell you I have discovered powered sugar (sugah) is not a magical substance, but something one can actually make pretty easily and very cheaply at home.
You may have already known this. I am excited.

I was feeling sorry for myself because I’m unemployed and maybe I just don’t make good mashed potatoes, after all. So I coaxed myself into a bike ride. I never regret a bike ride, I told myself. I rode an hour. The Great Marsh was empty and silent, but bright.
