1. Good morning. I’m sitting in my car eating an early lunch, trying not to spill juice from my fruit cup (which was preceded by string cheese because I eat like a child). Even though it’s not June 20st, it’s summer. I’m glad it’s summer. But a couple months ago I was having really mixed … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post ,Vol. 55
(Yes, yes I know I said that I was getting back on a regular blogging schedule. And yes, I realize I did not post on Saturday. But that was because I had a performance on Friday (all day sort of thing), which is when I usually write my Saturday blogs. So really I just picked … Continue reading um….I got published?!!??
Hello all. My attempt to get back into a regular blogging schedule did not....go exactly how I wanted it to. But!! I got my first Covid vaccine last week so that's cool.
