March 17

In case you've wondered why some of the entries have wound up on the domain space, it's because there's more server updating going on at Diaryland, and sometimes I can get in to edit but not to post. So I jump in to put in a link to the entry. The best way to find the most current entry is to come through the domain's index page and click the link for current entry.

In contrast to yesterday's seriousness, today I'm going to confess something you may have suspected all along. I have a smartass streak.

I have long known this about myself. And on days like today, I let the streak take over my choice of jewelry for the day.

Becky's Leprechaun pin

I found that pin twenty-some years ago, in a bookstore in Gastonia, NC. I don't think I've missed a year wearing it, for at least part of the day. I did lend it to a friend for an afternoon one year, but otherwise, I've worn it.

It's fun to see the reactions the pin gets. Most people don't quite expect that punchline, but they don't know what it was they did expect. And that pleases me, because my favorite jokes are the ones where I can't see the punchline coming.

And a bit of silliness in a day filled with war and threats of war can't be a bad thing.
