I just got finished listening to Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage, by Alfred Lansing. Although Shackleton didn’t do what he set out to do — cross Antartica on foot — he brought his entire crew (and one stowaway) through a set of disasters and risks amazing to hear. I may have to buy the book, because — oh, best beloved — I believe the book has maps!
I don’t know if it’s insult to injury or coals to Newcastle, but my nails this week are snowflakes:

December 18, 2023 at 9:28amLove the snowflakes, Marian! There is little to no snow where I live and the prediction for any before Christmas is not good. Cold today, but then it warms up and 40’s by the end of the week. I am like Dan…a little snow is nice, but Antarctica can stay away.
