And let me tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody ever tell you any different.
-Kurt Vonnegut
The Kurt Vonnegut quote above is a pretty great philosophy to live by, in my opinion. I’ve never been a go-getter or someone with a seemingly endless supply of energy and single-minded focus to devote to their goals. I’m happier puttering my way through life and making sure to stop and smell the flowers, wave at a few babies, and pet a few puppies on the way.
After owning or writing for a few different niche blogs over the years, I got tired of limiting myself to a narrow range of topics and started this blog to give myself the freedom to write about whatever I want, when I want. In short: to putter about with blogging as I like to do in life.
I don’t expect this blog to be my most successful in terms of income or traffic statistics, but I do hope that I can share some of the things I love and appreciate with you and help brighten your day or make it easier or more pleasant in the process.
A Little More About Me
- I’m in my 40s and married, with one kid in college and another in middle school. I’ve also helped raise several nieces and nephews. Our family is multicultural and interfaith.
- I live in Washington state, USA
- I love reading, writing, hiking, gardening, travel, eating good food, watching movies, and listening to music, among much more.
- My favorite genres to read include historical fiction, mystery, romance, and SFF, plus fanfiction for various fandoms and nonfiction on topics such as history, science, and environmental issues. I’ve always been a bit of a nerd, so I love learning, have many interests, and know a little bit about a lot of things.
