For the weekend
Let’s sit with this entirely necessary palate cleanser. Bless you, Senator Schatz.

Oops
My old theme died, which is weird. No content was lost apparently. Hang in there while I figure out what to do. ETA: I’m afraid it will take me a while to make the place look good again. But at least I can reach the Dashboard and continue to post while I fiddle. I can do the CSS stuff, but I am slow at it.

The New Colossus
A poem by Emma Lazarus. Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost … Continue reading →

Solstice is my favorite holiday, with its assurance that spring will arrive again, even if it seems far off at this moment. When darkness is at its strongest, the tide turns and the sun begins its inevitable return. From here on out, the days slowly grow longer. It’s a powerful metaphor. And I love the 2011 White House Holiday Card. When we were in D.C., and took a White House tour, we got to see both Bo and President Obama in person. It was great fun and a real honor. This card is warm and loving, and I hope that … Continue reading →
Where I’ve been lately…
Not writing about politics much, as you can see. I’ve been back into writing fiction again, after being away from it for several years (mostly). It’s the good effect of trying out NaNoWriMo, even if I didn’t get the full 50,000 words written that month. I’m posting at my writing blog, Clary Books, so do stop by and say hello sometime.

Slowly, slowly, adding in the content. More this weekend, more next week. I can’t figure out how to get my Flickr badge to work!
