The Morkie surveys Treesa’s controlled felling, unaware that she’s missing most of the action.

Old Saw, COUNTRY TROPICS

Haunting guitar/drone ambient that sounds like a backroads drive to Deadwood.

THE COLLECTIVE / EX LIBRIS

Finished both of these must-reads this morning. So very, very good.

The Leaning Tower of Treesa…

I think - THINK - I've gotten the Buttondown/Squarespace DNS thing figured out so the next MacroParentheticals dispatch should be coming from letter.parentheticalrecluse.com – but that link is still going to a search page so IDK. Will keep investigating and banging my head against the desk.

SPOILERS won BLOWN AWAY CHRISTMAS so all is right in the world, at least for this moment; the day awaits.

The tree leans still.

MainFicThing has taken on a different form but one that works – at least this morning. Certainly worth exploring: might end up in a dead end but I've come to accept that as the norm so I'm pleasantly surprised when it actually opens up a new, unexplored path.

Slow day ahead, but the rest of the week will be a bit crazy. Wreaths and tree guys and fasting and wellness exam part one. The day awaits.
