My Dearest of Silliest of Sillies,
How did year's-end approach so quickly? Oy vey.
Regardless, I appreciate you for adding cheer to my blog home over the past year.
Please enjoy the heck out of the season. A very Merry Christmas to you. Happy Hanukah. A meaningful Kwanzaa to all who celebrate. Stay safe. Be well. Enjoy yummies, and know that you are loved.
(Good thing I'm Jewish; we can guess which list I'd remain on otherwise.)
Dear Sillies,
Here we are. For us Americans who, for the most part, already constantly indulge, it's time for abundantly excessive indulgence. Oy vey.
I do hope you all enjoy much yumminess - in whatever ways, shapes and forms bring pleasure.
Happy Thanksgiving week, my dears.
Dear Sillies,
When I started blogging circa 15 years ago, I aimed only to post a handful of short scenes. Perhaps someone will read them, I figured. *Insert shoulder shrug.*
Wow. How naive I was to the transformational blessings I'd appreciate from our little niche of cyberspace. Namely, YOU, my friends. You've changed my life.
Specifically too, this one guy, Bryan Pedas. His blog with Brandon Meyers, A Beer for the Shower* (no longer in existence, but stay tuned for much more brilliance from Mr. Pedas), quickly rose to blogland fame. For fitting reason. Their cartoon artistry; their sardonic wit, their weekly investment in a full-blown relevant, goofy, and entertaining blog production; their warmth and kindness.
Bryan and I connected approximately 13-14 years ago. He'd become my book editor and cover designer. Through regular email exchanges that total approximately 700 e-letters to date, we've supported each other's respective creative endeavors and life in general.
Plus, I got to be Bryan's groomsman. (We're all gender fluid in CA, after all.) Psst, I kinda rocked it.
Being able to support Bryan's wedding to Meg last month did me proud. They're a beautiful, fun loving couple I'm honored to have in my life.
The magic of the written word, my friends. It can take us to unimaginably fantastical places. I've no words but gratitude.
