Every day has its celebrations. A very happy birthday to Rhonda today! I hope we’ll schedule a birthday brunch or craft night soon to give you the attention you deserve from Houndstooth Hall. Also: cake.
Additionally, today is Star Wars Day, and wee Yoda joins me to say May the Fourth be with you!
Every day also has its losses. Our friend Jeff, who remains a significant part of our memories, died on this day in 1995.

I can’t get over the number of mass killings every year. It blows my small island mind.
We are very broken here in regard to our gun culture.
