September. My birthday, reading Tolkien, introspective days, finding autumn despite a lingering summer.

August. Another couple of museum but closer to home, with neon signs and art! Visits to talk to animals at the zoo and the farm.

July. A trip to Cleveland, seeing Caravaggio and Monet, vinyl shopping, reading and Summerween!

“I can understand why he might not, in fact, be alright. Why maybe none of this will be, because we have, all of us humans, decided what to save, and that is ourselves.”

Finished a new favorite! ★★★★★ for “Wild Dark Shore” by Charlotte McConaghy!

Posting about Maid-Rite on my personal Instagram today… of course it’s not really about sandwiches.

But in case you’re wondering:
They make these “loose meat” sandwiches that come with mustard, pickle and onion and have been around since the mid 1930s.

That’s me in the middle and a bunch of things that relate to me, so this app (and people on it like me) can figure me out… are we supposed to use hashtags or what? Is the fact that I’m old showing? 👀
