Here for #5amwritersclub, here to blog about our perfect September weather, which may not seem worth noting, except that I used to live in southernmost FL, where I would envy everyone who had this kind of Sept, as I continued to endure relentless heat in Sept (and Oct and Nov).

Here for #5amwritersclub, here to write a blog post about getting a flu shot and a Covid booster yesterday, here to try to calm my fears that this may be the last year of any vaccines. I'm less worried about me than I am about all the children if vaccines go away. Sigh.

Here for #5amwritersclub, here to write about autumn as a season, autumn as a symbol. How old does one have to be before one is in the autumn season of life? Hmm. Perhaps my blog post will tell us.

Here for #5amwritersclub, writing a poem about my grandmother and her one Whitman's Sampler that she got each Christmas, while random U2 songs play, and I miss everyone fiercely and long for cheap chocolates collected into one expensive box.

Here for #5amwritersclub, but not sermon revising. We have some visiting seminarians at Faith Lutheran in Bristol, TN, and one of them asked if she could preach the sermon. Here's hoping it all goes well this morning. Worship starts at 10, and all are welcome.

Here for #5amwritersclub, here for a bit of blogging about this anniversary of Sept. 11--hard to believe how many years have gone by since the terrorist event in 2001, since the coup in Chile in 1973.

Here for #5amwritersclub, here to write a blog post about the short story that I wrote that just got accepted for publication. It's been awhile since I've had a short story published, so I am unusually thrilled.

Here for #5amwritersclub, here to do some blogging and perhaps some poetry submitting to journals--it is September, after all, and those submission windows aren't open as long as they used to be.
