What would your life be like without music?
As someone who is hard of hearing, I think it’s a little odd that I am so fond of music.
Life without music, it sounds awful. Pun not intended… but seriously, other than a Rick Roll, I love most music.

Prompt Answer: Celebrating Holidays
How do you celebrate holidays?
Well, my mother was Jewish. My not-biological-father was lapsed Roman Catholic. I’m pagan.
So the secular holidays are meh. I don’t celebrate them much, beyond getting together with friends for a homemade meal.
Now the witchy holidays I try to keep, do a little something for each. Like, tomorrow is the first day of Fall and I plan to try and make some quick bread when I get home from work, spoons depending.
