I'm starting a new blog because

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 am more listless than sleepless. I do much better on the road. Can't wait until I can *Plane* to *Planet*.

QueenNormaJeanGreeneggs&vegham writes about sleeping and also mentions homelessness in winter in Eastern Montana. "Sleep on Demand Command" .

I commented: "I've been to Honolulu and seen the homeless. I was homeless in Kansas and weather was an issue, especially on holidays (which are holidays for everyone else) when most everything is closed.

I don't know how they would keep me on my back without constraints. Not the kind of test I'd do well.


Norma also played the part of Mrs. Kelly "Meet Mrs. Kelly"  in "Happy Birthday Dear Grandpa" a comedy put on in her small town "Laughter in the Time of Corona" .

Never know what's going to show up in the in-box. Hopefully this gives me some energy to tackle some not-so-good news I got earlier this week. as 2nd Runner Up for the Musicology Anthology for

It was a helluva lot of work. Next time ... plan it better and set aside more time (that advice applies to everyone! New contest starts April 1st). Many thanks to Jeff for hosting it.

And then this... Merit Badge in Musicology Anthology [Click For More Info] Congratulations on being the 2nd Runner Up in [Link To Item #1377819] 2020! As I told Emily ... I do enter contests for the badge. I mean ... not everyone can win and although I win a few I'm up against some awesome writers.

I highly recommend reading the winner "AC / DC High Voltage"  by Legerdemain .

ME: Frost is predicted next week in Western Montana (but they really don't know...). AQI of 27 but hopefully some more sprinkles. A very cool day predicted.

Scored supper! Bri had too much pancit (pilipino style) and banana cream pie. I made sure it disappeared. *Smile*

No UM football games ... thankfully ... our covid numbers locally went through the roof today and Montana hit an all time high of 323. In Florida terms that would = 6,000 cases; if this were California = 12,000. We went from one of the safest places in the USA to one of the most at-risk. I am NOT amused.

So every cough, every high temp has me worried. I check when I'm not feeling 100%. So far, s'okay. Went up to 99.1 (which is high for me) but then back to 97.6. I do the best I can.

Robert Waltz answers "What is something that only comes once a year, but you always look forward to?" in "O'zapft is!" . Would you believe it has something to do with bier? *Shock2*

I commented: "I was in Munchen. I avoided Oktoberfest because there's no place to stay and I don't drink bier. I went to Praha instead (too many tourists).

As a child I'd look forward to strawberry picking time (late June). These days... when the local peaches ripen (especially white peaches in August). In Costa Rica the 'first' rain (April, varies). In Taiwan, the Lantern Festival (February, varies)."


I don't believe in American exceptionalism nor nationalism nor military glorification. So rather than comment on a particular prompt, I'll just ignore it.

Must remember to edit and post this poem by the 29th: "Red, gold and green [233] " . Posted. Yes, I want that badge! (see above)
And this short story "Where the grass grew tall (913 words) Sci-fi"  now "Where the grass grew tall [238] 960words"  and posted.

Other snooze: Remembered to send postcard to Susan in Minnesota. Celebrated with pumpkin pie. And bought *Watermelon* a red watermelon (there were out of yellow) and an *Eggplant* eggplant. I'm a big spender! $9.50. Checked mail. Said hello to a couple people. Trying to stay vertical. Up to January 30th with my photos from last trip. Studying Chapter 9 of my Norwegian course.
