You can’t take my focus away…even in the Happiest Place on Earth.

I did a thing. I’m the Leslie. ~ Tap1

Elderberry syrup. A little late but still working through the freezer from the garden before planting this year’s.

Mambo Italiano. Writing this one came with some tear-filled memories of my grandmother. I do need to procure some grapes and make a good Chianti at some point.

In many Boston households of Italian descent, there was once an object so ordinary that no one thought to document it. A gallon jug of red wine, usually Chianti, often wrapped in wicker twine sat somewhere in a corner. It was not decorative. It was not artisanal. It was never a topic of discussion.....

Two realizations:
1. I actually came through on my promise to record my adjustments to my grandmother’s Pascal cookies this year.
2. I may have made the biggest biscotti known to man.

What is Taphophile Twins up to?

This is a prime example of how NOT to restore a gravestone. You NEVER pull a stone forward and back like this. This is awful.

Mount Zion after the Blizzard of 2026 has taken on a different look. It is entirely unwalkable until it thaws. It can’t be plowed because the markers closest to the path are buried, leaving the trucks unable to drive through without risking them. They would also deeply immerse other markers if they tried. The contrast of white against each type of stone leaves it all the more obvious where work is needed. That will have to wait for warmer weather though.

The important thing is that Baby Tap1 knows the difference between there, their, and they’re.

Also, it’s my understanding that darts have been thrown. This Mayflower descendant runs on Dunkin’. (No claims are made for the others in the photo. No idea where they stand on this topic other than on the float.)

To our surprise, Tap1 was recently featured with baby Taps 1 and 2 in Mayflower Quarterly. They rode in the America’s Hometown Parade this past November. Baby Tap2 was not amused by the torrential rain that day.

Who ever thought we would post a casting call!

CASTING CALL!

I'm not asking you, I am telling you.
You have what it takes to be a model for me.

I have been teetering close to 150k.... tag a friend, invite a death curious cousin, make sure YOU are following my page, because 2026 is sharing up to be full of green burial cemetery visits and collabs!

PS: this is a living person test die-ing for a shroud demo. This could be you if you are in southern Oregon, Eastern Georgia, Tippy Top of Florida, or Houston, cause it's big enough to be it's own state. Comment and boost the alligator!
