I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy new year, msbelle.

I hope the practice today pays off on tomorrow’s fritters, Dana

Mom made borscht for dinner, but not the same recipe she used to make so it is not full of potatoes and carrots and beef, and it called for fresh dill but she used dried, so she wanted to warn me in case it is bland so we can consider it a palate cleanser if necessary. Smells good, I think it will be fine.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

2025 in Cincinnati has a lot of backyard fireworks. (Not us.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Hey, I managed to stay awake until midnight! Now I can go to bed. Or at least, I can go to bed after our neighbor stops blowing up his entire roadside stand's worth of fireworks. I think he's been hoarding fireworks for the past 10 years just for this moment.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Hey, there are 3 police cars on my street -- 1 directly across from us, 1 blocking the nearest side street, and 1 about 4 houses up. Very curious. Maybe I won't go to bed just yet.

Me starting 2025 like an old lady, peering out the front blinds at all the goings-on.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Update: 4 police cars. We’re pretty sure it’s because the guy diagonally across the street was shooting his gun at midnight, instead of setting off illegal fireworks like everyone else.
