I am horrible with plants.

You do not want me to babysit your plant for any reason.

Still, _this is the time of the year_ that I gather a bunch of different seeds and what not, and hope for the best.....

Years ago, my late wife Kelly and myself. Aside from being a nurse she was a part time librarian. So no surprise we used to hang out in bookstores and make out a lot. ha.

You know, back in November I said I was thinking about ... perhaps stopping smoking -- I had got up to 2 or 3 packs a day after my wife passed. I realized today, that when I said that I had 3 or so packs left. And here 5 months later I have still have most of one 1 left.

That's not too bad.

My, I really dislike the Twitter-like limit on message lengths with BlueSky. I feel like I can only write half a sentence or so before it is flashing red at me that I need to trim my sentences.

That might be true, but still... :)

It's been ... awhile since I've really worked at writing. There has been a lot of RL and it's like asking me to hike up a steep mountain trail when it's late and I just want to lay down on the path with all the bugs and dirt and sleep. :)

Still, there are stories churning in my head....

Testing. Testing. 1. 2. 3.

If this had been an actual emergency you'd be too busy screaming to read this....
