So, the outbreak today started with those things in the circles above. They mix the political ones with the emoji of how Kristina felt after the scooter mishap. Plowing across the streams of conversation was the football thing that DeMille nixed insertion on the heading as “too provocative.” Stay with something safe like senior accidents […]

The Holiday-made Monday tempo collided with Saturday and there was dislocation in the air, some attempting to relax and others underway with the list of things that need to get done. Some Black Friday stuff to wrap up. A stop at the Credit Union in the chill set the right mood. Awake. Also the storm […]

Ambivalent morning. Lot of people getting up in crowded houses. Orion had parked his belt in the sky just over the summit of the west wing at Big Pink. The Beaver Moon was gone, finally, and the first question was whether those three bright orbs had familiar names, like Sirius. Or something different. These three […]

This was on the screen glowing on the device on the conference room. We assumed was set to “alert” to encourage some sort of response. This one was from DeMille and addressed to whoever was supposed to be listening for phones or alerts in the morning. Getting it sent involved an interaction between the Building […]

The President was speaking this morning, something with which we share challenges. The moments in fresh air, the door swinging open under the clouds and fresh breeze was livening, But it was laid on top of the Production Meeting and the collective urgency to be doing some other things that need to be settled before […]

Goodness, what a week that just passed! In included First Snow here, big fluffy flakes that came down with gray chill gusty drizzle for a while. It was a seasonal adjustment to the smoking area on the Patio and consequently everything needed to be done in the conference room with the big flatscreen adding low […]

“Not all those who wander are lost.” J.R.R. Tolkien “But sometimes the wanderers aren’t aware of where they are going.” Vic Socotra Vapor had that look on his face at the picnic table. It was crisp with that cold front that swept through last night and the waning moon hung bright in the blue sky. […]

Morning! Splash here, and I am large and pretending to be in charge. That’s me on the bottom in the middle, but look at those pics! We looked at the graphic over coffee this morning on The Patio. We thought it was a cover of TV guide or something, not the start of the Cabinet […]

Hi! This is Kristina and I am not happy about Tuesday morning. This one, anyway.  Melissa promised she could get me a great opportunity to learn the ropes on the legal internship thing here at Socotra House. She used to do it, but DeMille, the boss, was told to do some local stuff for the Daily- something harmless […]
