So this afternoon, HR (Husband Robert, to the uninitiated), Ex-wife Donna and I went to see the current top-grossing film in the nation, Wicked: For Good.

We got our popcorn and headed for Auditorium One, when we decided we REALLY needed photo documentation (well, perhaps I alone decided that, but HR and Donna went along).


In a weird way, just the three of us out together on a movie date is … Defying Gravity.

“It’s time to try defying gravity
I think I’ll try defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down”

I Have Been.


Robert and I were very encouraged last week when we walked into our wonderful local library and saw a beautiful display recognizing and celebrating Trans Awareness Week.

“Transgender Awareness Week is a week when transgender people and their allies take action to bring attention to the trans community by educating the public about who transgender people are, sharing stories and experiences, and advancing advocacy around issues of prejudice, discrimination, and violence that affect the transgender community.” glaad.org

Taking the trash out into the alley behind our place, I ran into this …


“Uh oh,” I thought, “there’s a story here somewhere.”
A discarded (before Halloween!) strange-looking jack-o’-lantern hunkering down at the feet of a thoroughly smashed mirror.

I moved closer, snapping a few photos (I’m not sure why).
“How very sad,” I cringed, “and somebody’s in for some bad luck!”
“You obviously know not of that which you speak,” a crystal clear voice came from the shards.




I walked away, educated.

I am Happy to see that not all U.S. businesses and institutions have fallen in line with the Trump administration’s hateful, anti-LGBTQ fear tactics.
Walking into Kroger this morning:




And our local library …










“World Ocean Day unites and rallies the world to protect and restore our blue planet!
Since launching global coordination in 2002, World Ocean Day has grown from an idea to thousands of events and millions of people reached each year. The World Ocean Day network includes 2,000+ organizations in 180 countries.
Following a four-year petition drive with our international network, the United Nations officially recognized the Day in 2008.” unworldoceansday.org

Robert and I are fortunate to live about twenty minutes from the ocean—the Atlantic Ocean. Tybee Island (aka Savannah Beach).



I so agree with poet Mary Oliver!
Let’s Make Earth Healthy Again.
