I haven’t been to Salon.com in years. I suspect I’m not alone, which may have been the problem. But several years ago they stopped updating frequently, and with less new content there was less incentive to go there. I’m still sad it’s closing down.

I have no position on stand mixers. My current one, inherited from Mom and rarely used, is bowl drop. It seems fine? The rarity of use is due more to limited counter space making baking annoying than anything about the mixer itself.

This morning was a first for me. I got up and went to the gym and it was closed. I checked online and discovered it wouldn’t open for another hour. I didn’t know I could beat the official gym people to the gym. Anyway, my favorite bakery is a block away from the gym, and since I was already in the area, I figured I’d get a maple-nut cinnamon roll for breakfast. Kinda the opposite of my original plan to start my day. Eh, my sister wants to go to a big craft fair this afternoon, so I’ll get steps in either way.

Steph, I hope your vacation is delightful, albeit delayed.
