  • Blogging For Breast Cancer 2025
    by Sans Souci on October 12, 2025 at 4:10 pm

    I am re-posting the INDEX to the series, “Blogging for Breast Cancer.” Those who subscribe to my blog will receive an e-mail alert of this post mid-afternoon. It’s been a long time since I have sat down to blog. You could say, I had my feelings but I lost my words; there has been a lot going on in the new microcosm that is now my life, and even more going on beyond me. It’s been hard to sort out. I hope to be back soon. I am fundraising on social media and am giving it another week or so … Continue reading →

    by Sans Souci on January 16, 2025 at 5:29 pm

    [if viewing on a device and photos are not fully visible, tap on one and scroll sideways] It has taken me a year to tackle Robert’s obit. I couldn’t face it. The words didn’t come. Then they came and there were too many. Then there were not enough. Now, it is done. The best I could do. It will be published nationally on Saturday in The New York Times, January 18, 2025 on the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of his passing. He read The Times everyday, never missed a day since he was a pre-teen. All those years. Now one year … Continue reading →

    by Sans Souci on January 12, 2025 at 7:37 pm

    This post is not numbered. It is no longer the mother-story. It is no longer the husband-story. It’s MY story. Maybe I should number it 1. First. The new Beginning. Yes, I know, it has been two months since the last post. The gaps have been filled by stuff. Weird stuff. Elections (I’m not going there), feeling stuck, too much on the to-do list, too many holidays, learning how to navigate life my way. A year after someone passes there is an “unveiling” of the headstone. I think It’s kind of a smack upside the head to let you know … Continue reading →

    by Evan K. on January 1, 2026 at 2:24 am

    Well, look at that—a year-end post posted during the actual year the summary summarizes! First time since 2022. Progress, I suppose. Welcome to the 16th annual year-end postal tabulation post! Let's get right down to math. This year I visited 302 new post offices (and photographed 371 in all; so, many revisits). My current grand total is 12,199 post offices across the U.S. Meaning, of

    Welcome to yet another slightly late retrospective of postal travels. Turns out this is the 15th annual year-end postal tabulation post! Holy cow, how time flies. This year I visited 489 new post offices (and photographed 623 in all). My current grand total is 11,890 post offices across the U.S. It's actually getting a little tricky to catalogue these travels, because even when I'm not visiting

    Yes, it's been a long, long time. I started blogging many years ago. It was virtually a daily ritual which I made time for regardless of what was happening in my life. But times change. A great deal of water under the bridge since those days. Time doesn't seem to allow these days, for the […]

     Today, the 2nd November is All Souls' Day.

    We decorated the tree today with the help of the small human living next door. He doesn’t celebrate Christmas, but he’s enthralled by all things Christmas. So, I am trying to respect his traditions while including him in ones he is showing interest in. It’s a win-win I think, because I miss my littles so

    Actually, if I’m being honest, this looks a bit more like an elephant foot and a small dropping. Whatever it looked like, it was what we had for dinner and it was certainly yummy. During the growing season, I love to go to a local farm stand and try to figure out how to use

The late actor Dennis Hopper, in an interview in 2008 with Men’s Journal, claims Davis named the song after intellectual
