Yesterday I had to explain and apologize at the library. Winslow, who does not knock things over, slid some precariously stacked books off a table and spilled coffee onto “Drawing Autism.”

He was fined $2. He didn’t ruin the book, and I wanted it anyway.

I just hope the #library adds a new copy back into the collection. It’s a wonderful book. And one of the artists is in our library system.

This year, I've made a small change to my morning routine. A small and welcome change, that *I* made. 👍

I start the day with a cup of Darjeeling tea, instead of 'ordinary' tea. 😀🫖
