My Bio
Hi! Bio = "life"
I studied biology. (bio=life, ology=study of)
So, I studied the study of life. Stand back... it's a metaphor.
I thought it would be beautiful to study the study of life. And it is, in a way. But, also exasperating.
I thought it would also be practical, job-providing. And it is, in a way. But, also boring.

Biography
From bio (life) and graphy (making pictures or writing)
So life writing or life picture... hm, how lovely. But, isn't that the point of here. I fill my life with pictures in order to paint a picture of my life?

2022: The year of practical things and romance Practical things: I bought a house! Well a condo. But you know. :-) Other practical things still need to be done. Moving to 2023 goals. Romance: Well, I have gotten more comfortable on fb dating. And I tried other apps. But nothing has gone anywhere.... keep trying I guess? Not sure it will be a goal for 2023. But I'll keep trying. Creativity: I joined band! I would like to keep practicing outside of band. But that was a big jump for me. Vacation I did a national park road trip to Albuquerque and a national park trip to N. Carolina. And I visited Ajay and Rebecca in Boston. So pretty good vacation wise. I still need to get my passport and go international, go on a cruise. Vacations might be more limited since I have a mortgage now. But I should work on staycations too!
