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.

11:22 a.m. 38 degrees on what will be a cool damp day.

I'll do the shopping, but no real oomph to go out. Bored, to tell you the truth. Buying bread is just what I do. Nothing exciting about it.

The sun may peek out again come Friday and Sunday may be the nicest day we've had so far this early spring.

At least I've had my coffee and fish sandwich (mayo, celery seed). It was pollack. I really prefer cod.

Checked vaxx situation here. I became eligible this week (criteria here not as generous as elsewhere) but there's a vaccine shortage and no J&J listed and ... I don't jump through hoops.

42 damp degrees at 3:10 p.m.

I went. I saw. I bought... I try to spend $20/week on groceries by buying on sale and not buying all the chocolate and nuts I see. Today? $20.70. I splurged and bought gnocchi and mild Italian sausage.

Now I eat.

Women's bball: Oregon (6) in a mild upset that some predicted; good game [4.8]. And Texas (6). Two other close games.

Good news: Virginia bans the death penalty.

Bad news. My nerves are shot.

I just found out that David McClain Author Icon died March 21st. He was the Mayor of Blogville back in the day.

He and Mel aka Mrs Tor Author Icon were beloved members of the WDC community. David was a natural story teller. His exploits at Almosta Farm are remembered by many. Melinda was a horse woman and lover of nature. She died in David's arms years ago.

Since David and I were close in age and looks, it's hard to see recent photos from hospice. Pancreatic cancer robbed him of flesh and more.

Better to look at photos from years ago when they were happy with horses, dogs, goat and a pig.

In this ancient photo found in Debi Wharton Author Icon's blog from 2009 we see CC, Ken, Melinda, Eric and Debi: "Invalid Entry" Open in new Window. David's death March 21st puts it in perspective.
