Note count
Has anyone noticed that the note count is gone from Prose Box entries? I for one miss it. I thought it might be overall windowy / chromey / googley stuff but I see You Tube entries still have no...
Chapter one of the end
I had a burst of enlightenment this morning. I was in bed - probably as good a place as any for enlightenment - and the day had had a pretty good start without me. I’ve been spending a lot o...

Here’s my favorite jigsaw puzzle. https://thejigsawpuzzles.com/mystery-puzzle-6982694
A few things
One of my fake phone calls today said it was from Anadarko, OK. I looked up the town. It’s 50 miles from Oklahoma City, has 5000 or so people, and a Native American Museum. The Museum ...
Sports report
Will blocked for No. 8 who’d just made a touchdown. This was the losing end of a 21-19 score. He and his family put a lot of effort into this.
Wins and losses
I’ve had some of both today. Which do you ..want first? Let’s try a win. Check. Here’s my blue blooming coleus. Next a loss. I lost my grocery cart at the store todayl. I was close ...
I'm not much of a believer, except for a little.
What’s happening? Public radio just told me that crypto is coming. Political candidates who are against it are being attacked. Okkkkkkaaaayyyyy. I decided a few days ago to give up, to sub...
Greeneland
I’ve been spending time with my old idol, love and fellow saint, Graham Greene. Mainly in the second volume of Norman Sherry’s biography. But here’s a link to Greene’s life as a spy. I ...
Good morning
I don’t know what to say. I’m disappointed. I hate making the whole thing about me. Eight years ago, grandson Will, who was ten years old, was so disappointed he didn’t want to go to schoo...
Cowed, pushed into a corner, not very happy
For a while I thought election day was this week. Now all I can think is it’s another whole week. This might be the first presidential election since 2004 when John Kerry ran against the sec...
Starlight mints
Tuesday, October 22nd. The month is skimming quite along. Weather’s nice. I’m not sure what else I have to say. It’s funny what we decide to share here. Somewhere between everything an...
So.....
First, thank you for the notes on yesterday’s entry. There are lovely people here, who are caring and sweet, and whom I remember fondly. Second, I went to town today. I voted. And I ...
Do not foresake me
oh my darling I think that’s from High Noon. I’ve been spending time with John Cheever. We just took a liner to Portugal - destination Rome, for a year - to spend his windfall from his first...
First 2sday
Ah here we are in a new month. I didn’t write much in September. I had a few things to write about but I was lazy. Summary? Travel? Events? - I went to my class reunion and it was pleasant. ...
The good ones leave...

Hi again, the second day of the ninth month of 2024
is Labor Day. I used to work with a guy whose birthday would sometimes be on Labor Day. His name was Bob and he was a gossip and perhaps a tattletale. Well, aren’t we all? At times anywa...
Oh hi everyone
It’s me again. First entry since the big update. I haven’t really noticed any differences but that’s ok. I am at the stage of life that differences are the enemy. Even good ones make me s...
Another non-manic Monday is just beginning
I’m here. Between jig saws and notebook jottings. Somehow I’m sharing it with Frank Sinatra. Who would have thought? It was a very good year. All my bright tomorrows belong to you. And a ...
Three quotes for you and an uncropped turtle
I want a little amusement from time to time. I get so tired of you. If it’s free, you’re the product. A self-serving truth. They are handwritten on a yellow light bill envelope. The firs...
My Minnesota flowers
Some are from seeds purchased at Hampton Court a year ago in June. This one contains a self-portrait of the photographer. These came in the email yesterday. John had called earlier and we tal...
Books, bed and me
This is something I watched last night on youtube. It’s an mutual interview between two writers - Ann Patchett and Amor Towles. In the book they talked about her book - These Precious Days a...
Life is a funny thing
It’s 4 am. Yeah, that’s a funny time. No idea why I’m up. Even less of an idea why I’m typing here. I almost called it writing but that’s too far. Not far enough? Either way. It’s bee...
Once a month...
I was thinking - there is a new month coming in three more days. We get to start over a little bit in a little bit. I was thinking I might buy a hair product each month. I was thinking I ha...

Just a few words that don’t mean anything.
