Mi vida es un bolsillo lleno de arco iris.
My life is a pocketful of rainbows.

So, here I am...
***This blog was Established 2005***
And I am slowly reestablishing it.

I love English Lit! I have a fascination with puns, satire and tropes. I relish sharing the latest logic puzzle I've found. I advocate for education reform. I read Spanish much more fluently than I speak it. I know a lot of German. I dabble in SEVERAL languages .... including writing, history and knowledge of cultures. I am very interested in urban farming and self-sufficiency. Huge Douglas Adams, Roger Zelazny and Piers Anthony fan. I like reading Stephen King/Richard Bachman. I could spend hours with Terry Brooks and Shannara. T.S. Garp and I would get along famously. Avid Armchair Traveler ... especially Italy and Mongolia. Miicroadventures rock! I homeroast green coffee beans ... my fave are those from Chiapas, Mexico. I try new teas and those from Scotland make me smile. Friends and family are AWESOME!

I hope that something made you smile today!.

2022-ish Goals

1. Finish the annex to my office ... a large amount of book storage, an armchair and a comfy cot behind a moveable wall.I love library annexes and delight in visiting those with "open-stack" rooms and (old)book sales.
2. Read the non-fiction works of John Irving and watch the five movies.

Above is the first one, a reread. A student and a mechanic tour Austria by motorcycle ... somewhere in the course of the story the two men want to attempt freeing all the animals from the Vienna Zoo.
I want to locate the places visited ... a guidebook I have, Wikivoyage, Youtube vlogs, Google Earth. Armchair travel and using the globe we gave my mother.
Yes, I said this list was 2022-ish. I've already started this one and am on page 44 now. Animals that I need to learn about include the arboral rat, the flying phalanger, grayling(fish that are eaten) and the Spectacled Bear(vunerable bear species; Andean; awesome faces).
3. Get COVID-19 booster.
4. Make journal entries the whole year. Personal, social media, family updates. I like to do photo journals!
5. Work on a comedy routine ... because I would like to do open-mic standup after the pandemic is over.
6. I have a project where I am writing a piece for each of this master list of logical fallacies ... that will take more than the year 2022.
7. Submit a lifestyle piece to BuzzFeed. Submit a personal or critical essay to Buzzfeed READER. (I used to do a variety of paid writing and would like to get back into that.)
8. Listen to each album in my record collection at least once.
I play Christmas music whenever I want here (it's me). So, I've already played a bit of Christmas stuff recently. Our Christmas album tradition will be in full swing after Halloween. I have 50-some of the Christmas records my parents played ... yes, there were more. Christmas was/is both my father and my FAVORITE holiday!

9. Add to our spiral rope chain Christmas garland by making my own (normally people make necklaces out of this).
10. Finish reading The Catcher in the Rye.
11.Be coordinated enough to flip two pans of sauteeing vegetables at the same time. It's a cooking thing ... you have your priorities, I have mine. :-)
I will have to get pans that aren't my usual HEAVY cast iron though. Yay ... new pans!
12. Put little decorative things among the lady ferns and get a pic of raindrops falling off. Maybe rain on the decorative things, too.

13. Find some sort of healthy-ish jello option.
