Welcome to Litsy!

As commented on @dabbe a few minutes ago:

While I'm good with variety posts, I'm rather new here on Litsy and only know the Litsy as it has been since my joining this magical community.

I find Litsy a safe place, a gathering place that serves a community of members like a mom and pop bookstore. We recognize one another if we visit often. We learn about one another, celebrate each other, offer emotional support, etc.

1. Survived the endoscopy and colonoscopy. One polyp, results soon. 🤞🏻
2. Popsicles. Got me through my 2-day fast.
3. A happy #fu to this horrendous post. Our country does NOT have kings! Schoolhouse Rock even wrote a song: #nomorekings!
4. Matt & Pip reading together + getting Matt hooked on L. Penny. ❣️

1. Even though Phoenix has now broken even more records for heat this week (we've been in the 80s F when we should be in the high 60s), I have not lost my cool ... yet.
2. The monologues of Colbert, Kimmel, and Meyers have been helping me to cope with our fucked-up country.
3. Matt. #always

1. After what was to me one of the worst days in American history this past Monday, the sun did come out the next day. And the next... If you want to hear the best rendition of this song that I have ever heard in my entire life, here's the link:

1. Mailing out my #LitSolace autumn cards.

3. Getting ready to high-five Randy Johnson's Bobble-Mascot at the D-Backs game on Wed.
4. Tuesday night's debate + a hat to show how easy it is to pronounce Kamala's name. Perhaps Trump should wear it so he'd remember. 😂
