Yay COVID-19… Sigh…
I’m taking advantage of Wisconsin’s Stay-At-Home-Order-Or-Spread-Your-Filthy-Germs-and-Make-People-Die to stretch my writing wings and asked Facebook friends for writing topics. These are a real departure for me but I’m having fun and learning a few new things along the way.
I typically write – with absolutely no exceptions that I can think of – based on my personal connection to the subject. So, that’s what I’m doing. I may do some research on the subject or not. These aren’t scholarly treatises. Gak. Boring.
People who’ve never before been drawn to this blog via an inclination to poke around the spider-webby Susan psyche may find some (Read: Most) of my other posts a wee wonked and way more info than they’ve ever wanted about me. This is my blog so I’ll post if I want to, post if I want to, post if I want to.
If a guest topic brought you here – welcome. If you want to poke around some, you’re welcome to do that too but consider yourself warned.
I curse. And things.

Why don’t we call it ‘physical distancing’ and then apply that to how people drive? from PJ R.
A piece on awareness of how many people out there share one’s name. Speculation/fantasy about what their personalities and lives are like. I’d say google your name and see if other Susan Frys would allow you to interview them, but in this age of scammers (especially at times of heightened risk such as now), that’s probably not a good idea, hence the imagination. Perhaps a dialog between imagined Susans – from Marcia B.

Best and worst lists about things you’ve done in your life. The Faire, being in business for yourself, the AirBnB gig, ghost hunting, etc from Cathy C.
