Takes another break... I suppose it was inevitable. But going from full-tilt mold remediation straight back into my 40+ hour a week job sort of wiped me out. Then, already tired by all that, I was pulling foxtail grasses out of the back of the perennial bed over the weekend. There were swarms of biting… Continue reading The Daily

It wasn't the most productive weekend. I got some weird flu bug that created the most painful immune response I've ever endured. That lasted from Wednesday to Saturday. I was out of bed on Saturday, but I wasn't doing much but reading and writing. I did get a lot of both done, so that was… Continue reading The Daily: 24 April 2023

St Dwynwen was a fifth century princess, the loveliest of King Brychan Brycheiniog’s twenty-four daughters, and the Welsh patron saint of lovers. Her day in the Welsh calendar has steadily grown in popularity since… Continue reading The Daily: 25 January 2023

I read the entry for the month of January in the Vermont Almanac (v. III) and was pleasantly surprised to discover that January 2022 was much colder than average — almost 7°F colder — and very much colder than average for the last twenty years. It did not make the list for top ten coldest… Continue reading The Daily: 19 January 2023

is ill... First week of the spring semester and already two of us (out of a staff of three) have severe colds. Not COVID. But still, lots of snot happening in the bookstore this week. I have phlegm in the brain and can't do words... so I'm taking a few days off. Cheers! Eliza

for 19 December 2022 Some of the responses to the last couple essays inspired a bit more thinking. I decided to share it because that's sort of the point of this writing, communication. Back and forth. If all I wanted to do was to blurt out my thoughts, I'd choose a lower effort medium, like… Continue reading The Daily
