Finally! On Easter the last of our snow melted. We have flowers for the first time since winter arrived. This post is for my mother, who picked violets for her mother, once upon a time.
Happy Spring!

This is a public service announcement for writers and other humans:
If you’ve ever confused stalactites with stalagmites, here’s a hint: mites crawl.
Adulting is Hard

Brave Sir Tintin (1999–2017)
Tintin was an excellent cat. Orphaned on the frigid November streets of Ottawa at the tender age of six months, he nevertheless established a loving home complete with devoted human servants. Well-traveled and handsome to a fault, he remained a homebody who adored a good cuddle by the fire. He was sprightly enough to catch mice despite having no front claws, but never missed an opportunity to lounge in a sunbeam.
Tintin passed away following complications from lymphoma which, according to his vet, would have felled a lesser cat long ago.
He was loved, and he will be sorely missed.

You know how some Mondays you wake up to grey skies and a sheet of ice on your front step, and you have a million things on your list you’re not sure you can do and everything could be awful… but somehow it’s not? Yeah, for me that day is today:)
For you too, hopefully!

Because Presidents’ Day

Happy Presidents’ Day!
If you’re wondering what presidential life and history was like before Twitter, check out:
- the Smithsonian’s Presidents Tour (because you know you want to see what George Washington looked like with his shirt off😉
- the Google Arts & Culture’s Presidents’ Day Collection, or
- (slightly off topic but what the heck) use this Telegraph article to familiarize yourself with Hamilton (the musical and, by extension, one of the founders who got this whole shebang rolling).
Because democracy didn’t just miraculously happen and, sadly, is not guaranteed.
Happy Happy!

Today: Last Day for 2017 Obamacare Enrollment
Posted in Other, Writing, tagged #whatmakesusgreat?, ACA, health, healthcare, Obamacare, Thoughts on January 31, 2017| Leave a Comment »
Because we all deserve healthcare. Check out HealthCare.gov for more information on 2017 open enrollment. Even better, eight out of ten people who enroll through HC.gov get financial help!
The Affordable Care Act protects people with pre-existing conditions, covers adult children on their parents’ plans until age 26, provides access to preventative care coverage, and more. It covers aging joints and catastrophic illness if you’re older, and if you’re young and healthy and devil-may-care, well… Obamacare would also cover you if you’re just riding your motorcycle down the street and get T-boned by a car. Just saying:p
Because a great country protects its people.
Why Writing Is Hard, Today’s Edition
Posted in Writing, tagged creativity, Fiction, inspiration, Motivation, persistence, Thoughts, work, writing on January 27, 2017| Leave a Comment »
Writing is hard, almost all of the time. It’s been said before, but imagining a new world, reducing it to marks on a page, and sending it out to be reconstituted by another person is a lot like a magic spell. (Or mind control. Or sea monkeys, but hopefully more realistic;) It takes concentration, and focus, and clarity.
All of those things seem to be in somewhat short supply these days. There’s a lot going on in this world. And I fear that I have been neglecting you, fair readers.
So here’s what I’m planning to do: post more. No crazy promises I’m sure to break, like a post every 23 hours and 59 minutes, because let’s get real. I’m aiming for success, not self-recrimination:) And if a photo or quote is what I’ve got for the day, fine. With luck, it will cheer, inspire, amaze, or similarly affect you as it has me.
Because when it comes right down to it, isn’t that what it’s all about?
Here, have a picture of some sea monkeys:)
