Issue 5 is now out & they just keep getting better. A retro presentation of absolutely contemporary work. A community like I haven't felt in years. I'm thrilled & energized to be part of this project with my old friend Maureen Owen.

A dream
January 2, 2025
A young man (I must have asked) told me firmly that I should stop doing my blog. It's 2025! he exclaimed, which I understood to mean I needed to get with the many newer ways to communicate.
I hadn't thought of taking a pause but now I am. My original goal was to finish something every day, to know it was finished because I published it. I have come up with different strategies over the 12 years I've been doing this & while there are definitely stretches where I'm more interested or less, I still enjoy finding out what I'm thinking about by writing something here.
No conclusions. Maybe he'll be back tonight with next steps.
In the neighborhood: barter
January 1, 2025
How I pay for internet: I take my neighbor across the hall out to lunch every month.
He would share it for free but why should he? We like to hang out & I would take him out to lunch. Everybody wins.
Proving yet again that where I live is indeed a village.
Also: HAPPY 2025!
