Went to the library yesterday, and in the spirit of banned books and the ambition of advanced age, checked out a 14th Century dirty book.

Got up a bit after 5 this morning, went down to make coffee, etc. Turned on the ceiling light with dimmer near minimum. All this as usual.
In the midst of the usual countertop clutter, in barely adequate light, I made out this little tableau.
The iPhone did OK, I think. And me, sans coffee.

The view out the back door (with reflection photobombing from the front door). Every morning for almost 37 years, usually including the squirrel.
We’ll probably be leaving in the next couple years.

Other representatives of religion get all the publicity these days. Maybe that’s a good thing, as a sort of DEW line.
But the loud fraction doesn’t necessarily reflect the whole.
This is us (Little River UCC, Annandale, VA) last Sunday, celebrating Trans Day of Remembrance.
We plan to get louder.

A pause for today, and gratitude for the last 50 years. I could get soppy, I suppose—she’s not over here yet to hoot at me—but I won’t. I don’t really do soppy.
