My initial draft was in September 2023 and my revised draft was in late 2024.
The analog version isn’t available yet, so I don’t know what obscene amount of money I’m about to spend to have it in print.

Somehow it was 18 years ago today that I talked to my brother for the last time. It was a few more weeks before he died, but I was out of the country and this was years before you could use your regular cell phone internationally.
A lifetime.
This picture is my favorite of the two of us.

You really don’t realize how often you think of someone until they are gone. My beloved grandpa passed away last week. The only thing that made him happier than teaching someone something new was finding out that they already knew it. He was a lifelong learner.

This was my first one basically. I joined a small one on a whim in February but this was the first time I planned to go to one. Grammar error on my sign. Sigh

I hit my heading goal for the year (my height)! Books on my left are what I finished in 2024 (-3 I don’t have analog copies of). Books on my right are ones I am still working on.

My roomie and I bought some collapsible bookcases this spring and haven’t gotten around to setting them up. Finally lined the hallway today and consolidated all my To Read bookcases into one place. It looks beautiful.
