Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

(Cue "Welcome Back") Hi, JZ, good to see your typeface! And great to see you here.

She nodded off after logging in and reading posts.

She’s perkiest in the morning so I’m sure she will check in tomorrow if not tonight.

Hi JZ!

I am leaving Sydney and flying to Auckland today, then flying home Wednesday. I can’t believe this trip is almost over! I don’t want to go back to real life (though I do want to see my dog)

Now tagless for your comfort.

JZ, I have a wicked laugh at the thought thought of Oliver reading your OFMD fic.

I have a good friend here, Mother Jane, who is an Episcopal priest and she has been sharing her library with me as I study a little more about the bible and she has been an absolute godsend. (See what I dis there?) She always has time for my Atheist ass.

We are heading to Burning Man in two weeks because it’s the husband’s bucket list item to cross off. I believe the planning is more important than the experience for him.

Hi, JZ! I’m so glad you found a faith home in the Lutheran church. I’ve been thinking that if I can’t find a UU congregation that clicks I’ll look into the ELCA. My grandmother was a member of the Missouri Synod Lutheran church, which is a very different thing. I like to think she’d be confused, but happy, if I switched.

COVID is knocking me a bit flat, but it’s doable. I’ll probably miss work tomorrow, and maybe Tuesday. I have multiple new books that I can’t quite focus on, but they’ll keep. Right now I’m watching a show on Nordic wildlife. Lots of snow.

Calli, don’t push yourself too fast.

Our wings are not tired.

Waves to JZ! Always wonderful to see your font. I have Pastor Bea's service open in one tab and A03 in another, so thanks all for the links.

I can’t believe this trip is almost over!

But such a trip! I have enjoyed seeing your updates.

We’re eating yummy leftovers from yesterdays party and watching Project Runway. We usually only eat in front of the tv on Fridays but I told ltc this is one last birthday treat.
