Remembrance Project Day 1: Finding the starting line
Maybe it doesn’t matter where the starting line is, because we all end up arriving at the same destination on Remembrance Day.
Thursday Throwdown: All Hallow’s Eve, Eve
Who’s already fallen face first into a bag of fun-size Halloween treats? Come on, your secret is safe with me. I’m actually pretty capable of rationing out a treat or two every day, but my gentlemen associate can smell candy no matter where it is in the house, and he gets feral from the sugar. […]
Remembrance Project 2020 Ramp Up

I don’t have much in the way of an introduction (or rationale, which might be the more accurate word here, really). I was on vacation last week, and as I puttered around, a few of these songs showed up on either Sirius radio in the truck, or on my music playlist. So here you go.

Roundup! 9/29/2020
Who loves etymology? I mean, this would have been better served up to all y’all on the equinox, but here we are… Why Does the Season Before Winter Have Two Names? Does anyone hoard journals and notebooks like I do? I have good intentions, but I am reallyREALLY not a journaler. I can do better […]
Thursday (+1) Throwdown: Merry Marymas!
Come, friends, join my birthday celebration with this extra throwdown. Why *you* buggin?
