I’m all caught up on travel posts! Huzzah! At least until my trip at the end of September. Where am I going, you ask? Stay tuned. In the meantime, this is a brief rambling interlude.

And how much have I read in March so far? Okay, so that’s not technically true. I have read emails and the area orientation … More Reading Update March
Quite a while ago, I deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts. I did that for a variety of reasons. But I kept on with Instagram and its twitter-like spin-off Threads.
