This was her first desk when she was probably four or five.

We had forgotten about it, because it was in my office, covered with a sheet.

After my two Christmas books, I am FORCING myself to allocate some time to tasks other than writing. One of these tasks have been to finally, after over a decade, to reorganize my cluttered and chaotic office. I, to my amazement, have made great strides. I made a concerted (& very credible) effort to (majorly) declutter, rationalize and simplify. Succeeding. In the process I uncovered this desk — which has been under wraps for at least 10 years. WOW.

You can see the shapes she had started with … houses, Sun & stars. But, she had also written her name — in remarkably good script. Then there is also a LOT of binary. I know I taught both these kids binary, BUT I can’t remember how old they were.

This was cute. This was neat. I had to capture ‘her start’ & post it. She will hate me for doing so. SMILE.

Yes, our 2023 fall foliage is peaking. Today’s rain will knock down quite a few leaves.

This was my view, this afternoon, from my desk, in my office, as I was proofing my latest book. Proofing is very stressful for I. So, this was a nice break.

Sunset In Central New Hampshire AFTER ‘Hurricane Lee’ Went Past The Coast.

Given that we are about 40-mile inland, ‘Hurricane Lee’ was really a non-event for us. Yes, we had some gusty winds & there are still some gusts. Hardly any rain. A fine drizzle, if that.

So, we lucked out. Glad about that.

A fairly common occurrence in New England ahead of a storm.

Saw it out of my office window.

Didn’t have the time or inclination to head to the beach to get an unobstructed view. So shot these, in a hurry, from the road. But, you get the idea.

Sunset, In Central New Hampshire, From My Desk — May 7, 2022.

Yesterday’s sunset. I moved a bit to my side to get you a different perspective. In doing so, I managed to capture the setting sun itself.

Again, as with yesterday, I was lucky. I happened to look up at the right time. I usually don’t have the luxury of looking up (or out of the window when I am working). No rest for the wicked, etc. etc.

I won’t insert a picture of my desk in this post. IF you have never seen it, & are mildly curious, just click here for the picture. SMILE.

For the May 7, 2022, sunset


I, as is my wont, had been working heads down. When I am working not much distracts me. SMILE. But, I happened to look up & see this out of the corner of my eye.

Thought I should share it with you.

My desk, in my so called ‘office’. The window is to the right. Yes, I have a LOT of toys.
