It is April, 1902 and I am reading the morning post beneath the watchful gaze of three ballerinas. My hair is up, my cuffs are starched, I won't be able to vote for another eighteen years but, my hand to god, no one will stop me.

I need a special name for the dark snowy mornings that happen after the clocks change because the one I use now didn't go over well on this Teams call.

The Bangor SSA office didn't know anything about this when I called on behalf of a new parent yesterday. They have 30 days to get the kid a SS#, the hospital can't help them, the National SS office hung up. Here's the contact person for Maine (she's not answering her phone)

The small changes I make today will converge into a powerful force over time.
Anyway, here's what happens when you forget to check on your Christmas tree farm for a hot minute - in the grand scheme of things stuff gets big fast.

Growing up we had a whole mess of cousins and they were handy in a crisis - people you were somehow tied to and likely didn't know how.
I'm your cousin now, and I say don't let anyone tell you they know how it comes out today, we'll have to wait a while for that. Go drink some water, we love you.

I'm a still life painter. If he's okay with joining our obscure yet impassioned world-wide community we welcome him with fruit, flowers, animal allegories, and um, whatever that object is in the background there.
I offer a turkey as proof of membership.

Thank you! It's great to meet so many rock fans.
I live in the land of rocks and stones so it's either love them or be buried under them. Here's a photo of my garden, the paths are made from the rocks that are pushed to the surface by frost-jacking every winter.
