roasting seeds

Roasting a spaghetti squash- so good with garlic and parmesan cheese.

Roasting the seeds too. Little bit of oil, little soy sauce. Crunchy goodness.

My life is changing and so my thoughts turn to food and self-sustenance. Instead of teaching in the classroom, or a mix of classroom and clinical sites... tomorrow it's all clinical sites, all day, every day, 5 days a week for the next 5 weeks. It's a big change. Here I go. [image error]

Maine earthquake: we will rebuild

Totally fine here. No harm, just completely extraordinary. Here in Maine we're usually free of earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, tsunamis, poisonous snakes, and crocodiles. We do get Down Easters; that's a big snow storm.[image error]

domo

She was Asian and upset.

I tried to connect. "Domo arigato," I said.

"I know what that means, but I'm not Japanese," she replied.

Yeah. There I go again. [image error]

a discovery of witches

is so good. Also the sequel. Read both, fast, and immediately started to reread, slowly.

Am just finishing the sequel- why can't I remember the name? -something about the night-  and it is so good. It's like coming home. It's magic, history, philosophy, science, romance, and well written. Thank you, dear sister, for recommending these books.

Maine earthquake

I felt it. I was sitting in the living room, reading and listening to the radio. I heard a rumble and my chair wobbled. I thought maybe it was a big truck going by, and went to the door to look. Nothing. All quiet.

Went online and learned about the earthquake. We don't usually get them here in Maine. Freaky.[image error]

Reiki goes to college

I taught a 3 credit Reiki class at the University last summer. Now I have another chance to teach it at my small community college. We offered it last year, but no one enrolled. We are going to offer it again this spring. It will be a hybrid class: online and face to face.
