Twenty-one
In an alternate universe, one that’s not too far from this one, Alternate-me is buying our son Quinn a drink for his twenty-first birthday. In this world…alas.
Tuesday Tones
If the picture above doesn’t make our new post-series theme clear, we’re talking about Moon Music! Or, classical music inspired by the moon. Why did I land on this particular theme? Well…why not! I did a search for some pieces … Continue reading
Butterflies, Caterpillars, and the Bokeh Buddha
We have a mulch bed with a bush in it right outside our front door, and in recent years, milkweed has taken up residence there. Many folks would rip out the milkweed, but not us! We know it’s a haven … Continue reading

Another week, another quiz! Let’s see how this goes: The 2×4 Meme TWO foods you can’t stand 1. Broccoli! I’ve written before of my hatred for broccoli. 2. I love potatoes in just about every form in which they can be served…except … Continue reading
Something for Thursday
Well, I don’t know how often I do this. It’s not very often. Probably the last time was something like Ravel’s Bolero. I’m about to share something I don’t like at all. See, there’s this thing that’s been going around social … Continue reading
