Wonderful news!

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
--Martin Luther King, Jr.


The quotation is because it's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the USA. I am so grateful to him.

And now, back to my small personal crisis. "This is more than allergy," is the Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist's verdict. I was able to see him this morning, as icy roads had caused several of his scheduled patients to cancel. So he's treating it, and it's more chicken soup, blankets, tea, and quiet reading at home...with Taiga firmly ensconced in my life. What a relief.

This is the stairwell in the building where the doc's office is located. I'm not likely to be wandering around outside in the cold, looking for blips for a while. I took this in desperation, but when I got it onto the computer I gasped with pleasure. What great lines! Makes me think of my Blip friend Barrioboy, who loves diagonals.
