Hi, BlueSky! I’m Nikki. I’m not on the clock here, so I’m just around for a little light civility, learning, listening, art-enjoying & maybe some cute animal pics. Occasional snark included. Also, my house was mangled by Hurricane Milton so I may share some of the recovery process. Cheers! 👋
So this happened.
In 20 years of journalism, I have never interviewed an inflatable chicken.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, the rumble of thunder in the distance, a crackling fire, a vintage copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula, a kettle on the stove, a raven keeping watch, and a basket of emotional support scones.

I find the phrase “stock market gyrations” irritating. Gyrations move side-to-side or in a circle, but this stock market…well, I wouldn’t say it’s causing much of anyone or anything to gyrate.

Yes.
At the end of the day, aren’t we all just dreaming of that moment when we pull a loose book from a bookshelf and find that it reveals that long-awaited secret door?

Yes.
This isn’t really my work-y account, but here’s a preview vid for a recent interview I did. It was fun in a tough time. (And yes, I’m a bit of a cornball who loves to celebrate wonder where I can find it).

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.
