Random Quote
I have lived an enjoyable long life. A life of wickedness and adventure. I have been the thing in the darkness that people fear. I would not have changed a thing.

Another Today
Today… I printed my latest work project so that I can give it a final check before sending it to Typesetting. It wasn’t quite done, but the finished parts were in good shape. Considering all the time off I’ve taken … Continue reading

I Just Shouldn’t
I shouldn’t read the news. I also shouldn’t listen to anyone who wants to tell me about the news. My husband just told me the other day that the emerald ash borer has been spotted in Rhode Island. Great. Next … Continue reading
Day Off 2
Like yesterday, today was a day off for me. Unlike yesterday, I felt no compulsion to use my time wisely. I woke up late, lobbed around, wallowed in the sludge of the Internet for a while. The only thing I … Continue reading

Day Off
