Whoa, we’re halfway there
OK, so I was able to find @xian@mediajunkie.com in a fediverse lookup, which was pretty cool. There was a sort of bio listing in Mastodon. From there I was able to follow my own blog (yay), and I could click through as well, but that brings us to the design-neglected user page instead of the…

Getting the itch
It feels like time to blog again. For one thing, a lot of stuff is happening every day and I’m losing track so just literally logging interesting things right now would be a good idea. Also, the microblog walled gardens are starting to eat themselves and this blog can be part of the fediverse, I…

Too much oatmeal too late
Trying to get B out the door for her east bay appointments, making steel cut oats the slow way, a bit too much milk so a touch more oats and done sooner than expected and thicker, cut with a bit of skim milk and tossed with berries, just too much food to eat too close…

Hunkered down
So here I am, locked down in the back room (well, it’s kind of in the front of the house but nevermind) while B hosts the weekly Saturday morning ladies’ breakfast for the women who live in our little neighborhood. How did I end up in some bizarro west coast version of a Cheever novel?

Old-school time travel
Privileged to read an advance draft of Martha Conway‘s stunning new novel, Thieving Forest, I was thrilled to attend her book launch party in San Francisco over the weekend.
