A dress and church shoes didn’t stop this little girl from her steep uphill climb!
For Lost in Translation’s Pick A Word, the words are: ARDENT EXPANSIVE FRAMED LEISURELY STEEP I chose STEEP.

Just too, too absurd . . .
Yes, this really happened about 50 miles from me. I had to check my calendar to assure myself that today is not April 1.

“There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, leave the ones who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.” –Jóse N. Harris
This quote was part of a longer piece sent to me by a friend. Since it was not attributed, I did a bit of sleuthery and found it repeated dozens of times in different places on the internet. Luckily, I eventually found it attributed to Jóse N. Harris in two different places, so that’s what I’m going with. It is the best advice I’ve found for this time of life… or any time of life.

Help!!! Does anyone understand what the Email section is in Jet Pack? It gives Opens and Clicks and I haven’t the foggiest idea what they are.
Mutability
My life is spinning open to spring beyond my grasp,
unsecured by hardware of loop or bar or hasp.
Hope lifts to wing with feathers spreading in its flight,
springing into the future until it’s out of sight.
By what am I driven that I have set Hope free,
to reach out beyond me, perhaps that it might see
all that I desire beyond the status quo
of the lives that I have lived—the truths I’ve claimed to know?
Life in the guise of here and now, of Heaven or of Hell,
is a man-made legend that we know too well.
But when the death knell chimes for us, what new truth might we learn?
Will we face those pearly gates or will we slowly burn?
Might we go on to distant worlds so far that we can’t see—
orbs turning in another realm where we have come to be
in another shape or form, another turn of mind?
And will we still be our own selves when newly redefined
as bird or beast or creature heretofore unseen—
just one more ghostly image cast on time’s flickering screen?

These are pictures of the entry arch before and after the earthquake as well as one of the cracks inside the house.

To answer Derrick’s question about the earthquake: This was an earthquake in October of last year whose epicenter was on the coast but it caused big jerks here. I was in the car and thought it was a really strong wind buffeting the car back and forth. Then I saw the telephone poles swaying and people streaming from the stores into the street. There was one quake of just a minute or two followed by another. There wasn’t any damage here that I could see, except when I got home I noticed cracks in my house and entry arch that over the months have gotten wider and wider until at last my door to the street wouldn’t latch at all as the cracks above it had widened so much. Cracks in my house appeared from front to back door in my entry hall which is really the juncture of the two wings of my L shaped house and when my friend Agustin inspected the house he determined that the two wings of the house had never really been joined by metal joists but just by concrete, so these are being installed and hopefully all of the cracks will be sealed and won’t reappear. In addition, the sorts of cracks shown in the last photo opened up from front to back of house in the hall as well as in rooms adjoining the center hall. Lots of work left to do after the main repairs are finished.
