RIP, Leslie Harpold

A few times I’ve linked to Leslie’s Advent Calendars. I’ve been following them since 2003 or so. Each day was a delight. During the year, I’d visit her site and read some of her writings and savor every word. But on December 1st of each year, she became the first stop on my daily web travels.

The creator, blog and web design groundbreaker Leslie Harpold died this weekend. She was 40. And although I never met her or even emailled her, I’m just terribly floored at the news.

Thank you, Leslie, for making the world a bit brighter.

This is one of my favorite writings of hers.

I’d rather be happy, too.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
