Hmmm…I have been offline since 2020 and am still hoping to converse with anyone willing to work on their German,English or Hebrew. Only learned that I am a Jewess in1990 and want to learn more of my Judeo culture. I see that I am blocked by many members…what could a retired statistian have done so heinously wrong?


If you write,I will respond.

I cannot respond to any individual messages as my profile is blocked. I have contacted INTERPALS — but there has been no resolution for over a month.

Friends and fellow writers, I have embarked on emergency fostering of hard to place pets in my rural area. Several animals have been abandoned on my acreage...and thankfully I am stable and sufficient enough to accommodate my new guests. There will be more posts soon as I maneuver this new reality.

I’ve been offline due to 2 deaths in my circle of friends (69 yo and 78 yo). Although both had cemetery burials planned ; however, they were cremated and no memorial services are planned.

So I’m putting Stevie Ray Vaughn’s The Sky Is Crying while I work from home. Later I’ll be planting some Oxalis deeply discounted as they were not sold on St. Patrick’s Day.

I’ll write tonight when I can gather more pleasant thoughts. Be safe and well.

It is true we love who we love....however, we must choose the truths we shed light upon and the timing of those sensitive revelations....

We all deserve happiness in this cruel, hard world. Hippocratic without hypocrisy... do no harm when possible.

Postcards ... I still send them whenever I travel. Writing in 25 words or less to describe first impressions that will never be experienced again is an art. I’ve begun again as an outlet from the isolation ... I’ll try to post one new picture to illustrate that delicate dawning of Spring per day.

Let’s see what I take today and caption for tomorrow.
