Still working on getting into the swing of weekly blogging again. Nothing jumped out at me for a musical theme this week, so I just picked King Crimson’s Cat Food off the top of my head. Having three cats sleeping all around me probably had something to do with it.

So before I need to feed these cats, let’s jump into Perl Weekly Challenge 318.

I haven’t been feeling like blogging lately. In November, my mother, the woman who taught me how to program and was for decades my default person to ask complex SQL questions, went into the hospital because she was having trouble breathing. In early January, she died.

I’ve been struggling to deal with my feelings about this, but one of the things that I knew deep in my heart is that she wanted me to return to Perl blogging. If for no other reason than to honor her…

And with the first task being “circular”, I couldn’t help think about Joni Mitchell’s Circle Game. My mother loved folk music, too.

So let’s circle round to Perl Weekly Challenge 316.
