September: Arrogance and Misguided Math
A familiar fox arrives, the rose behind its left ear bobbing as it bows its head to you, then takes a missive from the bag at its side. You take the letter, and begin to read... Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Lend me your... *checks notes* eyes! (Yes, I know this is October. I worked through the month of September and almost got it done... but not quite. So you get TWO letters this month. Congratulations... so sorry.) In personal news... As a youth, it always bothered me that September means...
August: Better Late Than Never
A familiar fox arrives, the rose behind its left ear bobbing as it bows its head to you, then takes a missive from the bag at its side. You take the letter, and begin to read... Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Lend me your... *checks notes* eyes! In personal news... Something (probably the Great Groundhog who prowls our neighborhood. Seriously. He took out a maple sapling.) has eaten our magic lilies... aka, surprise lilies, aka, naked ladies (And WHY does one insignificant object have so many...
July: What Independence Means
A familiar fox arrives, the rose behind its left ear bobbing as it bows its head to you, then takes a missive from the bag at its side. You take the letter, and begin to read... In personal news... I went to Realm Makers! I pitched a book! I listened to many people speak! I got Steve Taylor's autograph! I had fun!!! (I'm still a little overstimulated. It was a very good time, but still very weary, lol) What I’ve Been Reading: To Love You was one I found I enjoyed much more than I thought I...
Welcome to June (albeit late...)
A familiar fox arrives, the rose behind its left ear bobbing as it bows its head to you, then takes a missive from the bag at its side. You take the letter, and begin to read... In personal news... Lovely seasonal weather we've been having 'round about my place. Tornadoes and such. Much rain, contrasting with heat waves. Tornadoes also bring power-outs... Oh, the joys of the Midwest. Surprisingly, I wouldn't trade it, though. Also, I have an absurd urge to bake like a lunatic despite the...
April: New Life!!!
A familiar fox arrives, the rose behind its left ear bobbing as it bows its head to you, then takes a missive from the bag at its side. You take the letter, and begin to read... Greetings, and salutations! I hope you all had a pleasant and peaceful Easter! In personal news... Life's been erratic. I'm coming to terms with some realities that I'm not fond of; when I take a course of action, or make a choice, it seems like a lot of doors have been shut in my face. I'm trying to be all right with...
March: Beware the Ides... (or) This is Late. Behold...
A familiar fox arrives, the rose behind its left ear bobbing as it bows its head to you, then takes a missive from the bag at its side. You take the letter, and begin to read... Hello, friends! In personal news... We're restoring a Canada Goose decoy a friend of ours has been using as a decoration. From lichen-covered and paint chipping to a fairly goose-like appearance... at least we hope. This is the entire reason I studied birds as a child. Years of Academy training... finally come to...
February: What's Love Got to Do With It?
A familiar fox arrives, the rose behind its left ear bobbing as it bows its head to you, then takes a missive from the bag at its side. You take the letter, and begin to read... In personal news... January and into this month has been... good. Busy, but good. I quizzed people for a Family Feud game for my church (They hold a Valentine's Day event for the singles, widows, couples with small children, and couples who live rural and are getting older. I've held with snacks and games a couple...
Janus... Looking Forward and Back with Myth
A familiar fox arrives, the rose behind its left ear bobbing as it bows its head to you, then takes a missive from the bag at its side. You take the letter, and begin to read... In personal news... I may have to start calling this section "medical updates". A delightful ongoing saga... So my nasal spray induced nosebleeds of some size. Not at all my usual issuance. So I went to see an ENT (hence why this letter's late)... And, long story short, I got my nose cauterized. I was told it was...
Advent! (Resend: lines cut from story. Blasted tech!)
A familiar fox arrives, the rose behind its left ear bobbing as it bows its head to you, then takes a missive from the bag at its side. You take the letter, and begin to read... In personal news... I am an aunt! The baby in question is a darling little fellow. Very attentive. HUGE eyes. Has hair, which I approve of in an infant. For reasons of privacy, I am not sharing his name or likeness. I am doing better with the ear infection, I believe. Working with a new nasal spray has been helping,...
November: Or, I Finally Remembered the Subject Line.
A familiar fox arrives, the rose behind its left ear bobbing as it bows its head to you, then takes a missive from the bag at its side. You take the letter, and begin to read... In personal news... I've been fighting an ear infection/blocked eustachian tube/possible sinus polyps for a month and a half, now. Fun-fun silly-willy with antibiotics, nasal sprays, steroids... I'm choosing to be alright taking deliberate rest time and then deliberate commitments. I've been kind of out of it, but the...
