A year ago my plan was to live in Seattle and date a pirate…

The biggest event in my life today was repotting my peace lily, aka white flag, which is now resplendently green in a green pot. According to NASA, it has high air cleaning capabilities, but I got it because I had one before and it survived living with college folk. I’m tempted to name this one, something like Lydia.

Also I learned that woodducks are really quite pretty. I mean, for a duck. You just wish you had plumage like that.
