Only two states added to the map in July — New Mexico and Minnesota — but on the whole this is not bad. July was an insanely busy month. I just discovered that I neglected to submit an invoice for a job I completed on July 11. I’m glad I realized this before I yelled at Accounts Payable for an overdue invoice. Oops.
Plenty of the missing states are doable. In August I’m going to spend more time on the road, and more time hanging out in the parking lot of the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital where, it seems, every state passes through sooner or later.
About Susanna J. Sturgis
Susanna edits for a living and writes to survive. Having been preoccupied with electoral politics since 2016, she is now getting back to writing -- and she's got plenty to write about. Her blog "The T-Shirt Chronicles," started at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, is a meandering memoir based on her out-of-control T-shirt collection. Her other blogs include "From the Seasonally Occupied Territories," about being a year-round resident of Martha's Vineyard, and "Write Through It," about writing, editing, and how to keep going.
Not bad at all, Susanna. Does it count if I see some missing ones? 🙂

Well they are the show-me state. Maybe they need directions to your little piece of Paradise?

Do you need Missouri? I can’t tell by the map.

I do — it’s that sort of rhomboid blank spot west of Illinois and northeast of Oklahoma. Seen one lately?
