  Isolation Photo Project : Day 158

  I considered quitting the Isolation Photo Project last week, but I’ve enjoyed the daily posting. I want to continue posting daily but don’t like all my posts with this title. I’m uncertain how I’ll change things, but I hope to end this project this Sunday. Of course, I’m still physically isolating, and we’re no longer shut-ins like we were from early March to early July. Our weekly socially-distanced-face-mask-wearing outdoor dinners at the Brick Farm Tavern, Flounder Brewing’s beer garden an...

  Right? Like maybe she was quipping about the exorbitant cost of actual ski trips :-)

  Huh. I had no idea until today that "ski trip" was a euphemism for "cocaine binge".  I mean, I actually do know people who ski for real fairly regularly and my first thought was just "they don't really look different after? Maybe a little flushed" :-)

  My personal website is https://desmondrivet.com I have a blog on it and a kind of microblog as well. It's not wildly beautiful.  I write about whatever strikes my fancy, so I definitely wouldn't call it "cohesive".  But it's there and I use it and it's mine.
