St. Paul.
It’s currently my favorite proper noun.
It’s where I live. It’s where I’ve been trying to get to for years and years, but only recently felt I had the freedom to make my return to it. It’s where I am very happy.
And, it’s where I’ll be writing from…sorry for the lengthy absence.
I’ve been shifting some piles.

"These Granite Islands" by Sarah Stonich and "Summit Avenue" by Mary Sharrat. St. Paul fiction. Enjoy.
I can understand your absence while you shifted some piles but I must say, I’m very happy for your return. I love your blog!
I wondered if your tweet about “cleaning up the blog on the back end” might mean a new post and was pleasantly surprised to see several!!!
Welcome back. You were missed!
Thank you! It feels good to be back with a new look from a new location. I’m really looking forward to being back in the saddle.
