November - Are we ready?

I love the show Hamilton and when Jefferson returns from Paris, he comes in singing, "So what did I miss?" 
Well I wasn't really gone that long, and I still was reading and commenting on blogs, so I don't feel I missed  too much.  And I can't sing. 
So, here I am with a small amount of stuff to kick off November. 

Food for thought  for, no doubt, a nutso week ahead. 
We did go to Marble Falls in Ray's RZR - zoom zoom. Lovely  weather and some rocky scenery. 
Yes, I am queen of this hill


 

And I enjoyed a pop-up art event in Arlington. We took off our masks for two seconds for this picture. This is my friend Stacy, a poet, and artist, and all around cool chick. And yes, she LOVES Poe. 

So, nothing too profound on this post. Just a toe back in the water. I'll be doing book reviews again - I've kept reading.  Still going to work.  Ray's back working from home and he did test negative after a co-worker was idiot enough to let his family go to El Paso (duh, hotspot) and then they ended up positive.  But, yea for Ray - he's fine! And he's glad to not have the drive again. 

I'll close with a quote I read in a magazine - possibly attributed to Lenin - 

There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks, where decades happen

Strap yourselves in, the ride's going to be bumpy.

  1. Hi Joanne - good to see you here again ... and more importantly good to know Ray tested negative. People are quite extraordinary ... but enough of that from me ...

    That trip out looks to be lots of fun vroom vroom as you say ... what's his other car - a Rolls?? Well done on getting to the gallery and meeting with your pal, Stacey ...

    In recent decades - we seem to have had our fair share of challenges ... I could do with a calmer outlook! Take care - Hilary

    1. I still go to work but it's close. I like Ray working at home part-time - only Tues thru Thurs. It's handy for me to text him errands to run - ha!

    1. well, he didn't catch it this round. I fear for the Halloween bust and then other holidays brewing - we are around some younger guys who are exposed more. We are careful...but, it's tough. Take care!

  6. Ah, yes, and we're onto a day in which decades may happen. Sigh.

    Thanks for saying that's Poe. I did not know. But I like Poe.

    Thinking of you as I expect a spotlight will be on Texas in the next few days.

    Love ya. Keep the peace.

  7. Amazing and scary quote to open this post and a truthful one to close it. Impactful on both ends.
