Spoilers ahead. If you plan on watching The Prestige (2006, Christopher Nolan, director), do not read this blog post. My advice if you haven’t already watched it (TL;DR): skip it. The theoretically cozy brown chair that I choose on the rare occasion when my husband and I watch a movie on the TV by ourselvesContinue reading “Knit and a Flick: The Prestige”

Home is Where Health Is
Here’s the thing: everything I need is right here. And here’s a sliver of what I see when I look back at pre-pandemic days and then today, as if I could fold time so that those two periods (pre-pandemic and this morning) could line up next to each other, shoulder to shoulder, hip to hip.Continue reading “Home is Where Health Is”
