I voted for Joe Biden in the general election last time (after voting for Bernie Sanders in the primary) for at least two reasons: 1.)

Now that I’ve spent several days resting, recovering, and catching up with homebound emails and chores (and recovering from the COVID I caught on the plane on the way back), it’s time to start putting into words, sentences and paragraphs the fabulous time that Lisa Twining and I spent in New Zealand.

I still can’t get on Facebook except via my smartphone this morning. When I try, it says I’m a PITA (because I’ve tried too many times before, or just because I try to post my website URL to my FB page?) If #2 is the case, why does FB allow me on in any way?

I just got a birthday card from Jessie Richards. It’s handmade by her. Gorgeous! And what was tucked inside blew me away, too. She sent additional mad money for my New Zealand adventure! It looks uncirculated and newly-minted. I hope she isn’t a counterfeiter! (JUST JOKING, JESSIE!!!) ***I

I’ve loaded my Kindle with new-to-me books. I need reading material for the long flights to and from New Zealand that lie ahead… I’m halfway through one of them already. (Stop that, Kris!!!) When I had lunch with Judi Cooper at Olive Garden the other day, she told me about her favorite four

I had brunch with Lisa yesterday. The only time we’re usually able to get together these days is when we shop for groceries — and even that is rarely possible — so we usually go weeks without seeing each other. She’s my best friend, so it sucks not to see her as often as
