News from the year of the plague
I’m enjoying the hand washing part. I’ve never been a big handwasher and now that I’m being forced to do it, it’s kind of fun. I’m combining it with good wishes for the planet and for you espe...
Something else for you....
..... a whole bunch of Ann Patchett.... This might be good too.
Jon Muth/Dickenson
and this - - https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Jon+Muth+Prints&FORM=IRTRRL here is the whole poem: Will there really be a “Morning”? Is there such a thing as “Day”? Could I see it from t...
four random prompts, two links and a house

Two long hard days.....
… and perhaps a third tomorrow. Monday was the day Joana went for chemo and a discussion with her doctor. He wants to change her chemo. She is on three medications = I don’t know their names. ...
Barny
Barny is a lot like Stripey Butt except she lives outside. She is a girl. She is not fixed. She has green eyes. She is less demanding. She has a whole other life, actually.
More country music and notes
Mother love is a great thing but she is as guilty as he is.
One More
Well hi again. Not sure what is going to happen here - maybe nothing. Life is full of surprises. When it’s not full of boredom. I suppose it’s all our own choices too, which we are - excited...
Round two
It’s two hours long but it’s very good. Save it for when you have some time and maybe something else to do while you listen. There’s lots to watch too. Ray Price played a little fair at Nati...
Me again.
SOMEONE said I had written three days in a row = so now it’s four. That is if I get something said and saved. Let’s assume so. It’s Monday night and Jim is at Planning & Zoning. They have ...
I'm what's left
I am the only one left from my family now. No one else remembers what I remember. I am 73 and my mother died at 48 and my brother at 69. My dad lived to be 82 so I suppose I may have more year...
Do you?
I’m thinking of making a New Year’s Resolution to write here everyday. Before I can do that though I have to see if I can post something two days in a row. I don’t have a lot of confidence in m...
Holiday Sting+Arlo+Glen+Elvis+Sting
There are more than one, more than a hundred, and only one. See the shared towel.
Just a survey?
Monday night, a little after 7:30 pm. I’m writing this to have a record - before I forget. My phone/land line rings quite a bit. I have a wireless phone that I often keep on the table near my c...
Cheer up
This was on my browser front page this morning. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/they-re-trying-to-wipe-us-off-the-map-small-american-farmers-are-nearing-extinction/ar-BBXqKFy?ocid=spartan...
A survey from Marg via Gypsy.....
I have a million things to write but lack the discipline to write even one of them. Bear with me please. 1: How many cars have you ever owned? Three in my name. I prefer having access to a car ...
Caring for trees
https://newrepublic.com/article/155699/ghosts-war-wisconsin-forest The photo with the article is very good. ---------------================@@@@@====================--------------- Yesterday’s crp...
So
So. So. So. It’s Saturday evening - 5:31 to be precise. It’s dark outside. It’s quiet in my kitchen except for a buzzing that comes from my new bright florescent light or from my own ears. I m...
Spaniel Eyes
His name is Jan Schlichtmann. His father said he had spaniel eyes.... This takes almost an hour - but it might be worth it. It related to my book A Civil Action by Jonathan Harr. ===============...
Beto was the kindest, most graceful candidate ever.
Maybe I’m glad he didn’t get to run against Trump. He’s being saved from the truly evil stuff. Added a link.... that may or may not work. If you get there, read the thread… it’s very nice. h...
More
I should write here more. It would be good for me in many ways. And it probably wouldn’t hurt you either. I have a jillion reasons I don’t write here. 1. Laziness 2. Lack of discipline 3. No...
Hang on
I love you. I have everything. I am part of life, of all life, of your life. We share this willy wally world. I will be here tomorrow and I believe you will be too.
cormac
I’m not a huge fan of Cormac McCarthy. I took this image as much for the starry background as the text. But still.... I think the only book of his I’ve read was No Country for Old Men, which I ...
Gypsy's feelings
1: your happiest memory and how you felt? I don’t know. 2: your most embarrassing moment? Did you laugh it off or feel ashamed? I know this one. I rarely mention it, but I think I wrote it som...
I should look back
to see what I wrote last. It might have been a survey. I’m running on E around here it seems. I have little to say and I say it. It’s a cold Saturday. I think there is fire in the stove. I...

Just a few words that don’t mean anything.
