Joni Mitchell's song "California" is 54 years old this year. Released in 1971, its lyrics are as relevant today as then.

All the news of home you read
Just gives you the blues

#Writers on KDP - how are you compensating for the guilt of doing business with The Zon?

As an #indie author, they still account for most of my book sales, other than Ingram. Thoughts?

Hi Catriona! Oh yes, these "dad" jokes are kinda? sort of? funny...it's hard to gauge what the general public finds funny these days. But, every bit helps...

Hi Wendy - Ooooh that is an amazing gif! So 3D realistic I can sense his sniffing! 🤣

Play is not a break from learning, it's the way children learn best.

Through play children practice problem solving, cooperation and resilience.

Creative play, not screen time.

Play is not extra, it is essential.

Hehe Norb! That is funny - I actually do have a pond with some very large goldfish, and the neighborhood cats are fascinated, but too well fed to go fishing, fortunately.

You are most welcome Melisa! I hope you enjoy your weekend.

Oh thanks Eaton - I had it yesterday and it went well. I'm recovering for a few days so not online much. I'll be back soon!

Good point! I often see egrets in my backyard as I have a pond (with fish). They are always so pristine, it's amazing. I do know birds have a natural oil that repels grime - but cats? I think Mr. White Cat has an owner he goes home to at night who helps groom him, so fluffy!

Hi Melisa! No worries - I'm here sometimes, but have kept my Xitter account too. I thought Blue would be taking off for a while, but now it seems the initial flurry has subsided and I get less interactions here than X.

And he's there as I'm typing this...he's very white and looks like he is groomed regularly, yet lies in the dirt every time he visits. I don't know how he stays so pristine!
