The Modern Word

Apologies for the couple days of silence here at Olla. I've been caught up in a bit of a reading marathon lately (offline, that is). At the moment am very much enjoying this book about the Cockettes called Midnight at the Palace by Pam (Sweet Pam) Tent, who I met last year at one of the local Cockettes' homes for their reunion soirée.

It's been lovely-quiet around here since the TV's been off and I'm enjoying it and taking time off from blogging as well. I'll be back with more stuff here soon, but in the meantime, I hope you all have a very excellent May Day and are enjoying the beauty around you.
