Might be a fun time to share. On my birthday several years ago, one of the Olympic Park employees in Park City, Utah, gave us special access behind the ski jump barrier. This is what it looks like to the athletes. Pretty intimidating but so cool to see.

My parents often give me hand-canned goods like pickles, tomatoes, salsa, applesauce, and the like. By far, my major vice is canned jalapenos. They hurt SO MUCH, but dang it, they're so delicious. My tummy is mad at me right now. So is the roof of my mouth. #NoRagrets
We just confirmed with the sheriff that five ICE agents checked in with the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff's Office this afternoon, but that CGSO staff did not provide agents with any information. We'll be following this story closely, so stay tuned to www.globegazette.com.

Nine years ago today, I lost my best friend Ginger to suicide. We were friends for 15 years. We were supposed to grow into feisty, cool old ladies together and wear big glasses and bright lipstick, sipping on martinis over lunch.π₯ I'm hanging out with friends tonight to celebrate her memory.

My latest Substack column is out should you care to give it a read.
Instead of my next column dropping on Tuesday, it will publish Saturday morning. It's an adaptation of a column I wrote just before my late mother's birthday in July. I thought it apt to revisit it on the one-year anniversary of her death. β€οΈβπ©Ή

Every holiday season since she passed 15 years ago, I unpack my dear grandmaβs vintage (hideous) peacock lamp as part of my Christmas decor. I have never had room for a tree, other than a small garland one, so the presents go under the buffet. Behold, the regal Christmas Peacock. π¦π

Tonight, I took a steaming, hot shower; jumped into cozy jammies; did a facial treatment; and began drinking wine, so I couldn't go out to grab aurora pics. Here's a shot of my wine glass, lit by my work laptop and a pumpkin candle, though, if you're interested. π
Dear God, my Twitter feed opened to "for you" instead of "following," and now I have to go wash my soul with bleach.
