Windowless room may be more productive, but I am writing where the bees are today.

Scholarship check coming in today…spawned tears. He so deserves it. For 28 years I have had at least one child in my home. For many years as a single parent, too. Now that they are all off chasing dreams, time to remember what mine are. I am not done yet. I never will be. But I suddenly have time.

Curiosity might just kill the cat today. My pitcher 😭 Get a Maine Coon I said. So intelligent and trainable I said.

Exhibit A- the place she is trained to not go. Exhibit B- the f-s she gives. Exhibit C - the mugshot w/the plea of innocence.

His voice, when it came, was for something bigger than himself. Timeless.

Editing a short. Character’s name feels off — Character name is in a well known book I have read multiple x’s (been years).

If only this was on the agenda this summer. I love the coast of Maine.

I wiped some of this deterrent spray on the shelf because in her attempt to co-opt the space with my seedlings she has destroyed some brushing in and stepping on and nibbled on others. This is how well the deterrent works 🙄🤦‍♀️

The generation that blasted Twisted Sister in their bedrooms now thinks drag queens are ‘grooming’ kids. Y’all were fine in the ‘80s—quit pretending this is new.

Tomorrow Jan 20th an American hero will be honored and he will always be remembered with much esteem. He earned history’s respect and carried himself with dignity and grace.

Happy Birthday Dr King.

From a desk calendar my wife gave me for Christmas:

"You can't judge people only by how they treat you. The true test of character is how they treat those they don't like or need."

A true indicator of goodness, and leadership.
