Friday, January 20, 2023 Ten or fifteen years ago, I cut off a chunk of my thumb using a kitchen mandolin without the guard. When I did it, I felt pain, knew I’d cut myself, and grabbed my thumb to keep it from bleeding. Apply pressure! It worked – all the way to the hospital!
Thursday, January 19, 2023 I went back to work today. Two things of note happened. Or maybe I noticed two things. One was a fashion I have not seen at the high school; it was new to me. Since there is no longer any kind of a dress code at school (if you can buy

Friday, January 13, 2023 I have no rights to this picture of the day. My sister sent it to me. It’s someone she knows. It’s someone I know. It is taken in New Zealand. I think it is AMAZING! I hope you are enjoying it. Four years ago today, my mom died. Wow. Like most

Thursday, January 12, 2022 We went to see the musical Hairspray. As we were driving to Minneapolis, I asked Keith if we had seen the movie. I could not remember a single thing about it, but it made no sense that we would not have seen a movie musical. We are movie fans, we are
