I hope you have had a fun day, dear Hanarobi! I was just remembering the get-together last summer and what a fantastic time that was. Thank you for organizing it.

And now, some links:
〉 Fascinating article about Nate Moore, The man who put Marvel in the black: Nate Moore makes The Falcon, makes Black Panther, and he's making the future of film. ( Read more... )

My weekly links posts began on Jun. 30th, 2011, kind of, and boy that's a long time -- almost four years of regular posts. I'm impressed with my dedication ( Read more... )

Hello, happy Friday, I'm home and dinner is over and Webster has done the dishes so I'm about to settle down to watch more Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries because I am in love with the Honourable Miss Fisher while I sip a glass of prosecco. I hope your evening is as relaxing.

POEM of the week: In Italy, by Derek Walcott, found at a favorite blog ( Read more... )

This is Memorial Day weekend in the States, what used to be called Decoration Day and which originated after the American Civil War. It's also the cultural beginning of summer here. If you're curious, you can read a bit about it hereSuper busy at work this week, which is reflected in the paucity of links I have for you. Sorry. I'd rather wallow ( Read more... )

Well, at last a Friday links post actually posted on a Friday. I ended up working from home today because Webster had a doctor's appointment but didn't feel well enough to drive himself. I'm glad I stayed home and drove him; we ended up having a pretty nice time and he was feeling better by the end of the day. Yay! He has to go back in two ( Read more... )

Another Friday with very few links to share. It's been a difficult week: I'm so worried about my mother, and Webster still isn't fully recovered, and I really do not want to go back to work on Monday. One of the few bright spots is I'm pretty sure, from work emails I've read, that my new CIO has found funding for a second person in my position, ( Read more... )

Hello, I'm back from Phoenix. It was a rugged trip for several reasons, such as the heat, which was appalling. Mother is substantially weaker -- she's in a wheelchair now, rather than using a walker. Her memory is, of course, shredded, though what she says is still sharp and funny, if repeated a lot. I didn't get to see my sister-in-law at all, ( Read more... )

Posting a day early because I'm off to visit my mother, which I'm really looking forward to. Not sure if I'll have anything next Friday ( Read more... )

I have almost nothing this week for you! And for the next two weeks I'll mostly be with Mother in Phoenix, so those Fridays will also be light. If you see something you think I'd like, please let me know!

Aesc! Have you see these sleeping bag thingies? I instantly thought of you burrito-ing away ( Read more... )

Today is my 62nd birthday! I've had a pretty nice day, though busy -- I stayed home from work, but had the windows washed (and we have a lot of windows) plus the yard pruned and trimmed. We were supposed to go out to dinner but poor Webster isn't doing well. I'm thinking about take-out, hmmm.

It is also Dogeared's birthday, and Pionie's ( Read more... )
