Staying Home, Week 1

I’ve been furloughed for a week now, and I’m doing okay. I’m cognizant of how very lucky I am–I’m furloughed, not laid off or let go. I qualify for unemployment, and I have a computer and internet to get that ball rolling (now if they could toss that ball back to me, with money…) I […]

I Love the Gem Show

I love geology. I am a great big fan of rocks. I love fossils and geodes and crystals. My favorite rocks, though, by far, are ones I can wear. Enter the gem show. Most years, I don’t go to the gem show. I know me, I know the capacity of my house and the (much
