 |   A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

| 31 degrees just before midnight. Apparently they reneged on that 'promise' of 50 degrees this week. Fickle is all I can say, fickle. Fish-shiitake soup ... nice mix. Finished February contests in time but I gave up on 3 or 4. This month is 30dbc, 8 entries for JI, and as many contests as I can stomach. We'll see. I also need to put my focus elsewhere. 2:22 a.m. Too tired to think, but I check my email anyways. Nice way to begin March, 1st place.
Before 9 a.m. sunny and 22 degrees. So bright... I may have to stay vertical. In my inbox, 3rd place:
43 degrees and a tad too shiny at 3 p.m. I did not win or place in one of the contests I entered.  Which is fine. That's why the "Second Time Around ~ Birthday Special"  is so great. Round 20 opens March 15th. The clue to winning is choosing a strong poem/prose that did not place (honorable mention is okay; in fact, a great choice) or one that got rave reviews but didn't win, place, show. I won grand prize this past time and that's special imo. Hint: enter as many contests as you can; rejections should be expected; sometimes a writing isn't quite the judges cup of tea. But ... there are other contests.  So far for February (some were due on the 14th) 2  1st place; 2  3rd place; 4 dnp (did not place). So ... 8 of 16 resolved. I walked to campus today and went into the UCC. Very few people there. Didn't see anyone I knew.  The crown-of-thorns was blooming and the humungous fiddle leaf fig looked tip-top. On the way back I looked for signs of spring. Saw tips of crocus and daffodils so there's hope.  44 degrees at 4 p.m. Time to open a window. Later now, ate, window still open. I may be able to leave it open a crack tonight. Book unnerved me. I think the fight scene triggered anxiety. I may need to factor that in before my next choice. I'm on page 114 of 214. This week's agonizing goals:  Finish one book, start another. Kung Fu Avengers done, reading The Midwife's Tale. Contact family. Clean, because I don't want to.  Plan a trip.

  PROMPT March 1st When you are old, what do you think children will ask you to tell stories about? I'm old. Been old for many years. I'm rarely around children or youth. I travel a lot and spend lots of time around travelers in their 20s and 30s. I don't remember what they ask me! I'm usually the one initiating conversation. We usually talk about what's around us. I can't talk about recent movies or music because I'm clueless. Politics or religion can be a field of landmines and quicksand. Good question but I have no good answers.
