![]() ![]() I love the photo both because you can tell how goofy she is, and how goofy she made me. ![]() ![]() I'm looking at the photo I used for last year's fundraising pitch, and it's a picture of me sitting at my desk (this desk, the one I'm typing at right now, the one I write at every day) with Olive sitting on my shoulder, staring at me, and making me laugh. This will sound weird, or melodramatic-or maybe it won't-but every time I try to write about 2022, all I can think is "well, my cat died." She (Olive) died this past October, very young, of a stupid congenital heart problem that we just couldn't fix (thank you all for your kind words of condolence, by the way). I'm not sure what to say about this past year. ![]() Every year I ask readers to consider what the blog is worth to them on an annual basis and give accordingly. Anyway, it's early January, which means it's time once again for my annual week-long pitch for financial contributions to the blog. Me, uh, not great so far (COVID, you know), but I'm 95% better, and was never terribly sick to begin with, so I have every reason to believe things will turn around for me shortly, thank God (and vaccines). ***HELLO, READERS AND FELLOW SOLVERS IN SYNDICATION*** (if it's mid-January 2023, that's you!) How is the new year treating you? Well, I hope. ![]()
