the one new year’s resolution i’m determined to keep
Years ago now, four of them, maybe (four years? really?), I got an email from a guy I’ll call Greg, because that is his name. He asked me to join the staff of the website Utata, which is the public presence of an active Flickr group. The reason I joined the staff was to write … Continue reading

It’s been quite a day. A terrible storm this weekend left my office without power; we had a backup generator which provided some light, electricity to a few computers, and allowed us to run fans, since the air conditioning was off and today’s temperature is hovering somewhere around I AM GOING TO MELT YOU.

elsewhere
Since I’m obviously not coming up with my own material this week (my brain has been engaged elsewhere, overthinking things that don’t make for good blog fodder), here are some things from other people.

of lilacs and links
I’m kind of crazy about flowers, meaning that I love love love them and with each spring, my favorites bloom over and over, mainly because they are all my favorites. I have flower beds in front of my house that were a lot of work at one point but now pretty much do their thing … Continue reading
