So lovely and refreshing to see blue skies again a So lovely and refreshing to see blue skies again after a long, smoky summer and fall. I always love this time leading up to winter solstice. Mountain daylight, short as it is each day, is so clear. People talk a lot about thinning veils in fall, but I feel it more acutely now, between past and future. I like to think the winter world provides cover of darkness to reflect on our thoughts, fears, regrets, memories, and hopes.

I have nothing philosophic to offer on 2020 except to acknowledge my good fortune despite my difficulties with this horrible virus. So many people have suffered this year: irretrievable loss, crippling fear, insurmountable difficulty, unwanted change, unaccountable hatred. Just please know I see you.

My brother and I have been tracing our people back My brother and I have been tracing our people back several generations, mostly to England and Scotland. One line came to Plymouth in the New colonies prior to 1640!

We thought our Scottish roots stem from Paisley based on a will that mentions his father's birthplace. But I'm finding some conflicting info that indicates Hugh Fraser was actually born in Kilmorack, Inverness-shire. Lovely place, Inverness. I rather hope the new sources are right because the area felt oddly like home when I was there. (Also, based on the spelling inconsistancies of names in the will I'm not sure old George Hugh Frazier/Fraiser/Fraser at 100 years of age would remember precisely where in Scotland his father Hugh was born) Distant family lore claims Hugh was transported at a very young age as an indentured servant in 1715 or so, never to see his parents again.
๐Ÿ˜ณ
The dates are mildly impressive. We are quite firmly American and I wonder which generation decided they were no longer Scottish but Something Else. But I'm mostly interested as a storyteller. Also seeing first names follow the generations is curious and heartwarming.

Wearing pearls tomorrow to honor Kamala Harris? I have a lovely set of black pearls that are perfect. It's just at home but we are having champagne so I should have some nice jewelry on, right?

I know it might have seemed like a joke when I said I was cleaning house along with the nation but this is really why I'll actually be cleaning house. I know what I'll be able to do.

(Plus, champagne at 10 am isn't conducive to much else.)

Hey so like. Tomorrow, huh? I'm just gonna point out that I think for many of us, even if it all goes super well, it's going to be rough, emotionally. We've been...well, there's been a series of other shoes falling, for years, and things going well might feel wrong and unsafe.
