I’m off work sick with a terrible cold/flu. Which means I’m in that weird liminal space between “so tired I can’t get off the couch” and “bored out of my tree.”

On my recent trip back home, it was confirmed that one of my uncles (of whom there are many) thinks that my mother is a witch (which he means in both a spooky and pejorative sense).
And because I am the Son of THE Witch, he’s reluctant to associate with me.
I’m not mad about it.

I’m not one for family heirlooms, but as a #fountainpen lover, I couldn't say no to my great-grandfather’s old Capwell inkstand (the clock still works, too!).
Family lore (and documents) indicate that he was gifted it after winning a sports match at Trinity in the 1930s.

Due to a late connecting flight, I just had a very “Darjeeling Limited” experience running across the tarmac, bag in hand, onto a waiting airplane on my way to St. John’s. (Yes, they closed the door right behind me.)
