Photos and thoughts from September that were a little thin for their own post. To my surprise and honor I was nominated to serve a term on the Board of Directors of an organization that I’ve been a member of…
Autumn Webkeeping
As my blog approaches its eighteenth birthday it’s time for some webkeeping. I created a weekly newsletter that you can subscribe to and receive links to my blog posts. It is sends on Fridays at noon Eastern time. If I…
This beat cha-ching like money
It should come as no surprise to ANYBODY who has known me for even the slightest bit that I love me some boy bands. Always have, always will. If you haven’t heard of BTS before, they are a K-Pop band…
State of the Wardrobe
My wardrobe has two distinctly different styles: WORK (biz casual, blazers, fancy sweaters, dresses, jeans), or SLOB (fleece, elastic, hoods). Now that I’m working from home until at least January I’m trying to upgrade SLOB to include comfortable clothing that…
Pouring one out for RBG
On Friday night, we learned of the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She’s best known for being a liberal justice, but she was also a hell of a trailblazer. She was only one of 9 people in…
Ollie, September 2020
When the weather is nice and I don’t need a fantastic internet connection, I’ve been making an extra effort to take my laptop outside and sit in the shade to work. Ollie joins me, but doesn’t understand that if he…

Warcraft Escapism
Since it’s the only “travel” I’ll be doing in the near future, I may as well enjoy the scenery. As of this morning Leota Lyotta is 26, Kevashandia is 21, and I have a level 6 shaman named Vanderhoof. Lyotta’s…
Who’s Zoomin’ who?
WM’s teaching remotely until the world either ends altogether or returns to a new and shittier normal. We’ll be sharing the office and figuring out how to combine his online teaching with my online meetings. This fall he’ll be passively…
Show us your books – September 2020
Look at me, posting on time for this event! Firstly, a huge thank you to those who donated or shared my birthday Facebook fundraiser for Black Girls CODE. We raised $300 of my $250 goal. I was afraid I’d receive…
Another trip around the Sun
Today I am 48 years old. I don’t know how this happened, because I still feel like a doofy teenager inside. However, my crackly knees loudly disagree. Friends, year 47 has been pretty shitty, “highlighted” by health worries for me…
Murphy thinks he’s people
I never know where I’m going to find this dog.
