I send you these wishes for your new year, that you will feel safe, secure and seen. And that you will be able to help others feel safe, secure and seen.
Just saw the memorial segment on CNN’s New Year’s Eve show. I’m old enough now that I know of most of the people who they featured.
Boom.
I love the low-key “Let me tell you the correct pronunciation of the word you just used” that Jeopardy hosts do.
As an Animal Crossing veteran [I don’t want to admit how many hours], it’s fun to use the Dream function to tour other Islands at random. I happened on one today that validated some of my own design decisions. But also I was judge-y. My house had more rooms. My museum is more complete. Etc.

Seeing others work on their online presence inspires me. Have been looking over my stuff and fixing some details.
Signed some Christmas cards today. I swear a good third of them look like I have not mastered fine motor control or have not learned all of the letterforms—as I approach the sixth decade of signing my name.
Went to Apple to have them repair my iPhone. Have been living without the back camera for some time. But increasingly it was more and more troublesome. Thankfully, I was covered by AppleCare and it’s all over but the restore.
Watched the first two episodes of Agatha All Along tonight. Looks like a fun series. I’m hooked.
