They are lurking outside my front door right now, like nasty little vampires, humming “Come out to play! Invite us in!” It isn’t right.

I picked up the audiobook of Agrippa, by Robert Harris, and didn’t check at the time who the narrator was. I started listening this morning and, gentle reader, the narrator is Simon Russell Beale. I feel rewarded beyond my deserving.

I just found out that Wolverine is supposed to come from Cold Lake, Alberta. I lived in Cold Lake for three years; at that time, it was a postage stamp in the middle of nowhere. I … need to sit with this for a few minutes.

Monarch butterflies must be starting their migrations, as I have seen quite a few of them flutter by in ones and twos, bright orange and black against a blue blue sky, heading south towards Lake Ontario. They’re easy to miss if you aren’t looking up.

Hiiii ! This is your Canadian ceramic artist writing! Soooo after this week-end debacle, I just wanted to write a little update about the Canada - USA trade war and how art is actually political. 80% of my work sells to the U.S. and it looks like I just lost my main source of income.
Canadian otters on a Canadian made mug that's handmade and cute and how could you put tariffs on that ???

Jane Fonda’s tribute to Dolly is perfect.
janefonda
I am devastated. I just learned that Dolly has moved on. I know that millions are mourning and I want to say this - more than anyone I have ever known, Dolly will always be with us because she was so present, so powerful, so generous and playful that she is woven into all our lives and hearts forever. We have our memories of her, her songs, Dollywood, "9to5," the millions of books she got into the hands of children, all the iconic images that bring her to us. And they are all blessings. Let's be grateful for all that she has left us to ease our sadness now. I never knew anyone like her. She was simultaneously a naughty, playful southern gal from the hollows of
Tennessee and a deep, soulful thinker who could see through people right down to their true selves. She was many things...lyricist, songstress, player of many instruments, writer, prankster, visionary, loyal friend, who'd never go to bed before she and her friends had laughed so hard
they'd have to cross their legs.
She had a survivor's instinct and seemed to always know just what to do, just what to say, to make things right....and then she's stick her butt out the car window and moon Kenny Roger's home. She was the voluptuous embodiment of empathy. That's something of hers she'd want us all to take with us.
To her gay and trans fans, I want you to know that she loved you. You know that without me telling you. She loved all her fans and they are legion. And you know she doesn't want y'all to mourn now. Dress up and celebrate her spirit. But first, watch the final episode of Grace and Frankie where she's an Angel, the head honcho working class angel in Heaven.
RIP, beautiful woman. We love you.
