Why does laundry feel so hard? Some days, if there’s a choice between wearing that hideous mustard-yellow shirt my mother-in-law gave me because she hates me or doing laundry, I’ll choose the ugly thing.

It’s March 1st and it’s snowing outside. Ugh. But we have tulips blooming wildly on the kitchen table and birds at the bird feeder so there is consolation. That’s what I feel like life is right now; going from small consolation to small consolation like jumping from rock to rock in a rising river.

Anyone have any guesses about why my neighbor is hanging a turkey carcass from his tree?

Weird things I've learned while working on the book #3 million:

The poinsettia is named after Joel Poinsett, the Secretary of War who implemented the horror of the Trail of Tears. It's not the plant's fault, but I will never feel the same about them again.

Costco successfully defends its diversity policies as other US companies scale theirs back Costco has claimed victory in pushing back on a shareholder proposal that urges the wholesale club operator to conduct an evaluation of any business risks posed by its diversity, equity and inclusion ...

I always enjoy Costco, but today I got a special thrill out of buying too much of the stuff I needed- and some stuff I didn’t need!

We were so thrilled to give our talk at The Museum of the Cherokee People.

Here are some moments from the visit.
1. Kirk Savage earnestly answering a question about how the land for the Qualla Boundary was gathered together.
3. Kirk and me with the wonderful Avery Maples, who organized the event.

I’m here too, wondering if I got either the address or time for the party wrong. Haven’t gotten the hang of this place yet.

The only thing good about this political shit show is that it's making me write with fierce fury on my book.

Writing nonfiction (and it's going to be an amazing book!) but I love poetry and art beyond all things. Where are all the poets, poetry lovers, art makers, and art lovers? I want to follow you!
