I am making Brussel’s Sprouts with bacon as my dish to pass. I forgot to buy Blue Cheese or Feta Crumbles, which I really like with it, but people other than my mom don’t always like all the stinky things in a dish to pass, so perhaps that is good. We also like rutabaga.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
meara and I had an exchange recently about something that she pointed out had happened when she was 23. 23! I am agog and amazed at how long we’ve been adjunct family to one another.
I just “saw” meara on Facebook tease it Holly about how she was fourteen!
It has become all blue skies here! Very pretty. I think we might go to the zoo on New Year’s Eve instead…

I still cannot believe Holli is a full-on adult with her own business and publishing career!
I went to a lovely holiday party last night (did take a covid test in advance), and over-indulged in seven fishes and lovely holiday cookies. Now I am baking the maple-walnut pie for tonight's dessert, and in a minute I will take the dog out for a much-needed walk. Later we will do breakfast and presents at my sister's house.

Aargh! I know I am getting old when I mix up Holli with shrift’s “real name”. I was so shocked when I learned it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I discovered the buffista random quote generator and sought out the people who made the funny.
My origin story as well. I didn’t lurk for long.

Vortex was on Salon and got me to join in late 1999.
I made monkey bread prepped last night and put in the oven this morning, and it is delicious.

Merry Christmas/Happy Last Sunday of 2022 from a surprisingly balmy Seattle (50 F). I'm glad the ice melted in time for Christmas but my body is confused about no longer needing multiple layers and a puffy coat to venture outside.

Love to be out here in these streets giving incongruity.

Just went for a dip in the rooftop pool! It’s a balmy 20 degrees (F) outside with light snow. Wonderfully contradictory sensations.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Holli now refers to herself as a fandom old on Tumblr, which I guess is technically accurate but still makes me feel dead.
