Today’s post started as so many have in January, with one of them fancy fauxanuary prompts: In what ways do you communicate online? First, I have to admit that I was happy that this was such an easy and direct question. I’m in the middle of the latest Louise Penny Armand Gamache book and except
What is your favorite animal? First, I just like animals. All of ‘em. I like sloths and I like monkeys and I like turtles. But I think that there is something special about Dogs and Cats. And I have had both, two dogs in my life and seven or a hundred c ants (it’s hard

What could you do differently? I am puzzled about the relationship between WordPress and Day One, since, on the surface, they seem to do similar things, so…I’m not really sure why they are encouraging folks to use their prompts…here? But since I am otherwise promptless, I’m just trying to not think too hard about it.
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life? As with so many things, my thoughts on this one have flippity-flopped over the years. I used to say that I would take any pill you would hand me if it meant that I could live forever. I made it very clear
Woke up this morning to our first significant snowfall of the year. It was beautiful, until Kevin had to go and clear the driveway. Then it was just plain tedious. For Kevin, obv. FL was at work and I am in no way able any longer to clear snow. However, when Kevin was about a
