Is this the first time character balloons are appearing BEFORE they become popular icons? Leo and Uncle Dan? Is this a new kind of marketing? I thought characters needed to be known before they appear in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?!

Now I remember why I haven’t been an enthusiastic Instagram user. I’m constantly bombarded by stuff like this. “DM us! We’ll promote it!”

Today’s New York Times Connections featured a fat cat instead of a flat one. Oh well.

I was today years old when I learned there are baguette vending machines in France, mostly for small villages who don’t have bakeries. Bon appetite!

I was going to do this on Insta, but this is far better for it with the writing community. Reply with your answer and later I'll reveal if we matched! (I realize some answers may have Charles Nelson Reilly-like innuendo.)

It’s been a minute, folks. Phew.

Honestly, this is on my days on, too! (Just add book and tea. Cat already provided.)

If you’re trying to reach me, please know that my health has been poor lately and my PPMS keeps me exhausted most of the time. I’ve been slow to return emails, so please forgive me. After an event, I now need several days of recovery. And chocolate chip cookies. More cookies. ALL THE COOKIES!
