I just talked to a customer service person on the phone who said that she had never seen the name "Sara" without an "h" before. She sounded American. I am at a loss.

This weekend I’m a judge at my favorite Girl Scout event of the year, a camping competition. I’m in my tent and I hear the troops setting up. It makes me so happy that even with all the things going on, there are troop leaders willing to put in the time to give Girl Scouts this experience. 🏕️

Found this relic in a drawer at work. My boss had never seen one before. I started to explain “imagine forwarding e-mail, but paper” but soon gave up. (Yes, I know that hyphen in the e-mail also adds years to my apparent age.) 👵🏻

Picked up this fabric at my quilting guild’s meeting. No selvedge. I have no idea what to make of (or from) it.

Few things make me nosier than measles exposure location announcements. Working out, going to a gallery, eating in restaurants, all sounds good... but why the hardware stores? What kind of vacation is this? publichealthinsider.com/2025/05/13/p...

I was at a memorial for Diana Arens today and it felt weird that we weren’t all taking photos constantly. We document! @masvanyo.bsky.social @taracraig.bsky.social I nearly took ones to send to you of your photos on the huge screen. But my few social skills kicked in and I kept my camera away.

“I don’t need patterns any more,” I said. “I can improv all my quilts now,” I said.

Pat C wrote a good piece about Diana Arens, @dianaarens.bsky.social , who died suddenly a few days ago. Diana and I had been friends since we were teenagers — not in regular contact these days but still sending the occasional text. allcountingonyou.com/diana/

I’ve been a fan of “Jesus Christ Superstar” since I was a kid, and got to see it on the big screen today at SIFFarama. Holy moly it’s good to really see the costumes, Judas’ expressions, the details. Go, if you get a chance; it’s in Seattle a few more days.
