Hey y’all,

How was the Spring season (aside from allergies)? I can’t believe HOW fast the time is going in 2024- it’s almost Summer! I recently went to NYC for a cousin’s wedding; I have a LOT of family who are now settled in various neighborhoods of Queens. Yes, I still love NYC, though a LOT has changed since I lived there (2005-2009)! I’ve finally passed 700,000 hits on the blog; it took quite some time.

There is some sad news: one of my regular readers passed away in April; she was ONLY in her mid-50s. Susan (AKA Servetus) was a college prof/well-known online for being active in the Richard Armitage fandom; she commented on my blog 1st in 2013. Susan had her own blog (focused on RA); she was V smart, thoughtful, and a great writer.

I’m NOT feeling like my usual self for few weeks now; maybe I should look for ways to get out of the “lazy girl era” (as the Young’uns says)! Aging is NOT fun- just ask anyone over 40. I’m really behind on my posts, BUT hope to catch up soon! Thanks for reading (& subscribing) to my blog.

Best wishes,

EMMA.
