The first “boot day” of fall. When I inevitably remember how many socks I’d intended to darn over the summer.

I can think of no more perfect way to spend an early Sunday morning in a hotel than knitting and reading A Bloomy Head in a sunbeam.

Last night’s post Washington Pen Super Show spread. Bought more ink than I was planning to, but otherwise stayed on target.

Searched “core workout for middle age women” on YouTube, because I don’t want to be told “hold this pose for 30 seconds” by someone who’s never had to consider whether they’ll need to change their pants after coughing.
Search returned “core workouts for seniors” and now I have to go back to bed.

Lovely solo day with a much needed lunch break. It helps to go to the DC Super Show with a Plan.

Catching up on my personal book reviews. I don’t post them anywhere. I feel like it makes me a better reader, and hopefully a better writer when I pay attention to what I like and don’t like in a book. And it’s an excuse to use my fountain pens.

Sorry, not cheeky graffiti after all.

As we talked about the war
I told the old punk
that I almost feel silly
caring about anything else
at a time like this,
and after a moment
the old punk replied:
at a time like this
we must remember
being able to care about anything
is a prerequisite
for caring about each other.

My two youngest kids are five years apart. So, it’s been probably four or five years since Her Right Foot was part of our regular rotation. Youngest found it, beloved and tattered on the shelf this afternoon, and said “we’ve never read this book!”

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman was a friend who worked with Gabby to stop gun violence. We’re thinking of her children, who've now lost both their parents, and we’re praying for Sen. Hoffman and his wife, who are still fighting for their lives.
Stay strong.
Stay strong.

I saw more people on the National Mall for the Cherry Blossom Kite Festival.
Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.
