Messing about with empathy
I am continuing down a geographic rabbit hole. We’re all mostly stuck at home, so I thought I would go traveling with my blog. Each day this week, I’m going to explore a different continent. There are now eight continents, but I’m going to cover the traditional seven. Perhaps later, I’ll explain why we added…

Happy Mother’s Day. Children moms. Kitty moms. Doggy moms. Snake moms. No matter what kind of mom you are, I hope you have a lovely day. You are special and loved.
Today is National Windmill Day. I love modern windmills (not necessarily a popular opinion, that’s okay.) To me, they are kinetic art, and I love seeing them lined up along a hilltop or standing like an army across a windy landscape. The Dutch created National Windmill Day, which makes sense because almost every postcard from…
I’m participating in Story A Day May (as I talked about on April 30.) It has been going well, so I thought I would share one of the short stories I wrote. Every day I get a prompt in my email, which I then make my own. The prompt for this story involved changing a…
This is not a new blockbuster movie (although I would watch it.) When the new Mars rover, Perseverance, lands on Jezero Crater in February of 2021, it will have a passenger attached to its belly. Ingenuity is a four-pound helicopter that will eventually fly above the martian surface. Awesome. There is an in-depth article on…
Today is No Diet Day. I don’t know why someone decided May 6th should be this holiday. If someone celebrated Cinco de Mayo in a big way, wouldn’t they want to go on a diet the day after? Maybe the creator of this holiday thinks all diets should be avoided. Maybe they prefer the term…
Happy Cinco de Mayo, and happy birthday to my friend, Footmark!! I never really celebrate Cinco de Mayo because every Wednesday was taco night in my house growing up, so I didn’t need a special day to eat Mexican food. I also don’t drink alcohol, so it’s not much of a party day for me.…
