So.....
First, thank you for the notes on yesterday’s entry. There are lovely people here, who are caring and sweet, and whom I remember fondly. Second, I went to town today. I voted. And I ...
Do not foresake me
oh my darling I think that’s from High Noon. I’ve been spending time with John Cheever. We just took a liner to Portugal - destination Rome, for a year - to spend his windfall from his first...
First 2sday
Ah here we are in a new month. I didn’t write much in September. I had a few things to write about but I was lazy. Summary? Travel? Events? - I went to my class reunion and it was pleasant. ...
The good ones leave...

Hi again, the second day of the ninth month of 2024
is Labor Day. I used to work with a guy whose birthday would sometimes be on Labor Day. His name was Bob and he was a gossip and perhaps a tattletale. Well, aren’t we all? At times anywa...
Oh hi everyone
It’s me again. First entry since the big update. I haven’t really noticed any differences but that’s ok. I am at the stage of life that differences are the enemy. Even good ones make me s...
Another non-manic Monday is just beginning
I’m here. Between jig saws and notebook jottings. Somehow I’m sharing it with Frank Sinatra. Who would have thought? It was a very good year. All my bright tomorrows belong to you. And a ...
Three quotes for you and an uncropped turtle
I want a little amusement from time to time. I get so tired of you. If it’s free, you’re the product. A self-serving truth. They are handwritten on a yellow light bill envelope. The firs...
My Minnesota flowers
Some are from seeds purchased at Hampton Court a year ago in June. This one contains a self-portrait of the photographer. These came in the email yesterday. John had called earlier and we tal...
Books, bed and me
This is something I watched last night on youtube. It’s an mutual interview between two writers - Ann Patchett and Amor Towles. In the book they talked about her book - These Precious Days a...
Life is a funny thing
It’s 4 am. Yeah, that’s a funny time. No idea why I’m up. Even less of an idea why I’m typing here. I almost called it writing but that’s too far. Not far enough? Either way. It’s bee...
Once a month...
I was thinking - there is a new month coming in three more days. We get to start over a little bit in a little bit. I was thinking I might buy a hair product each month. I was thinking I ha...
Stop it
Bob Newhart was a great gift to our time. Does anyone else remember this skit? https://www.mindingtherapy.com/bob-newhart-brief-therapist/?unapproved=46561&moderation-hash=1902c5ea1892e39a4...
What dogs do for us
Writers Group - July 2024 - My Favorite Pet Zelpha told me that my favorite pet is my current pet. So sorry, Gracie, it’s Lib. Gracie was the yellow lab - Samoyed cross who came from the neig...
False start
I started an entry here and now it’s gone. I do not care enough to try and do it again. Sunny day here - semi-chili in the frying pan. My wild geranium dishpan flower on the deck looks good...
Bunny by the road
He’s a little movie.

High Water
These are Jim’s pictures. I left my phone at home today. It’s actually easier to have him email pictures and then I download them and then upload them to Imjur, than it is to down load them...
What I really look like
This picture is maybe a minute and a half old. It’s not flattering but it’s real. I took a series before this one, trying to make myself look good. I failed. I gave up and went back ...
Saturday, the sixth of July
I’m in a bit of a writing mood, but I’m not sure what or where - or maybe eve n how or when. Oh well here I am. A fresh PB window. I’m on the deck. Warm, sunny, bird-noisy. I have to squint ...
Tom Cruise is 62!
https://x.com/search?q=%22Tom%20Cruise%22&src=trend_click&vertical=trends I’ve never been much of a fan, but I like him better than Brad Pitt. Brad is 60 by the way. But to be fair, her...
Anonymous results of survey
Keep in mind I used to do this kind of number play in my old old old job. Also keep in mind that I was being paid to do it. Also that I had better equipment both personal and professional when I...
The last day of the first half of 2024
It’s a beautiful day in my corner of the world. More sunhine, fresh dry air, a breeze, enough birdsong to entrance a bigot, and I’m happy on top of it all. We fed the three calves - who are gro...
