I generally stop doing any blog postings after the morning, so apologies for the "day after" post.<br /><br />Yesterday's Absence of Malice event was a lot of fun! It was great to see you, Hank, Edith and others on-line and to interact with friends from all over.Grace Koshidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934603958949938617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-86328752963760726452020-05-09T21:55:23.553-04:002020-05-09T21:55:23.553-04:00It was great fun, and I think we should all go for...It was great fun, and I think we should all go for the purple hair, streak or whateverFintahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17087809450585073206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-13539285164014955872020-05-09T20:08:10.319-04:002020-05-09T20:08:10.319-04:00This is lovely, Julia . . .

On her, it always looks très chic!]<br /><br />The days really do run together . . . I often find myself checking the clock to see what day it is [my alarm clock displays the day of the week, along with the date, the temperature and humidity, and the phase of the moon]. It makes me feel rather silly, but I'm blaming my confusion on fifty-six days of quarantine . . . .<br />Joan Emersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06810313925049108163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-34879973985371904892020-05-09T18:30:09.776-04:002020-05-09T18:30:09.776-04:00I watched Absence of Malice on replay and it was l...I watched Absence of Malice on replay and it was loads of fun -- to SEE you, Julia, Edith, Hank, Kristopher!

It was in the 20's overnight here and when we walked the dog at 11:00 am, I wore my winter coat, hat and gloves and at one point, I put the hood up on my LLBean cause the wind is howling. <br /><br />I was really upset that there was no post this morning, silly me. I am just so glad that everyone is okay. Forgetful, is fine. <br /><br />My husband suggested that I dye my hair purple, but I have a ways to go before doing that. Love your poem. Happy everyone is fine.<br /><br />Julia, Karen is right, age is a state of mind.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128026892155650398noreply@blogger.com
