that ruthless calendar
watching the days pass
spring, summer, fall, without you
a new year begins
and one more month races by
relentless and unyielding
thanks to JusJoJan for this chance to mark a sad anniversary.
Family Share
The subject for today’s JusJoJan is FAMILY.
Love ’em but they drive me crazy. Yep–that’s my people.
if they are too close
but also too far away
that is family
And while we’re on the subject of family, let’s do some sharing …
Here are this week’s questions:
1. Who is your oldest living relative (aunt, grandparent etc)?
My grandma (mom’s mom) will be 104 this year.
2. How often do you visit them or is distance a factor?
She lives on the other side of the U.S. from me, so (before COVID) I’d see her a couple of times a year and about once a year in the last couple of years.
3. Have any of your family lived to be 100?
G’ma is the only one (so far) but her baby sister was in her 90s when she passed.
4. Would you like to celebrate your 100th birthday?
Maybe-if I’m as cool as my 103 year old grandmother!

Provocative Questions 222
This week’s provocative question(s) from Fandango:
Are you currently on Twitter?
I do have a Twitter account. I don’t Tweet myself but it used to be a pretty good forum for info and entertainment. In the past, I primarily used it to keep up with current news and to follow my favorite authors, social justice warriors, and historians. The latter, in particular, offer fantastic context for current events. Since Musk (and his obvious right-wing crush and thin-skinned small dick fragile ego) took over, Twitter’s usefulness has diminished greatly and its ugliness has exploded. I’m rarely on it anymore.
Have you heard of Threads and are you likely to open up a Threads account?
I have heard of Threads and many of my favorite follows have migrated over to it. I don’t love the idea of giving Zuckerberg more of my business, but I’m probably going to give it a try. I already have an Insta account so it’ll be easy.
If so, will you maintain your Twitter account or will you move exclusively to Threads?
I’ve never been an active Tweeter, so I will probably let it go dormant and see what happens with Threads. Who knows, maybe the baby man will dump it and it will return to its previous level of stupidity / usefulness.
