April 28th 2024. That was when we launched Desert Dialogue! I say we, even though it was only me that day, because the bigger picture always has been a we thing. Never a me thing!

86 days in, and I am ready to take a looksie!

Please, if you are a contributor to Desert Dialogue, feel free to weigh in, provide advice, celebrate with me, throw your suggestion in the waste bucket style hat (I’m kidding. I should be able to do that on day 86.) And, if you are not a contributor, and want to be, comment your favorite cartoon below! Bet you can’t guess mine.

P.S. you do need to reside in the Desert Southwest or have lots of awesome tales to tell about it, whether they be fiction, non-fiction, maniacal rants like yours truly, or whatever is clever. Seriously! We would love to have you.

Okay back to the analytics.

Why? Because I am an analyst, an employed analyst. Yup, if you read my publication, you get to be the first to know that I am once again…

FINALLY with job. Hallelu!
