    It’s kind of been a rough time since I last posted. I was going to go back to Indiana last Sunday, but the plane was canceled.   They put me on an earlier flight without telling me and had to reschedule.  I’m here till Mother’s Day. Maybe. JetBlue announced today that they’re not going to be… Read more

  • 4/23 – Mia Land O Lakes.

    RIP Mia – Land O Lakes icon. I knew it was going to happen. Actually, it took a lot longer than I thought. After the Washington Redskin icon protest from a couple of years ago, I thought there would be some sort of revolution to rid society of culturally (and maybe gender based) advertisement icons.… Read more

    I hate breaking in a new supervisor. I’ve been with this college as an adjunct for over five years – Lauren and Greg. Greg really didn’t care.   He was on his way out anyway.   Lauren tried to be ‘attentive’ starting out, but she bowed for the most part after a couple of months.  Lauren had… Read more

    Right now, there are two theories about where the virus came from. I guess it’s indisputable that it came from China, but was it intentional or unintentional. Personally, I’m favoring unintentional for a couple of reasons. If this release of COVID was intentional, I don’t understand why China would release it in China. There’s a… Read more

    Life continues to twist. I’m still uncomfortable with the whole stay-at-home thing, but I know it’s going to get better.    Tomorrow, we’ll probably get the car back.    That means I can go to the park and move about a bit.   In a way, it’s not a lot, but it’s something. The best part… Read more

  • 4/8 What we – should – be talking about.

    No lie. This whole virus thing is really messing with my head. Yes, I still think it’s overblown and over reported. The media seems to take unaccountable delight in reporting the number ill and number dead.  Those who have survived are mentioned in passing but quickly followed up by reinfection stats. The world seems to… Read more

    “The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it. Article One, Section 9, Clause 2. –  U.S. Constitution. As far as I know, this has never ever been invoked.  Well, invoked in the continental 48. I think that says a lot.… Read more

    Well, this sucks. It’s in the mid-80s and the gym is closed.   The maul is closed.  The beaches close tomorrow.  The parks are probably going to close soon. It’s beautiful weather.   Not muggy.  Not rainy.   Just pretty. … and there’s nowhere for me to realistically go. This sucks – hardcore. I went walking for a… Read more

  • 3/10

    Today didn’t go as I had planned, but it was a good thing this time. The original plan was to see The Invisible Man at an 11 or noon showing. I was going to treat myself to Polo Tropical.     I’ve been wanting to try that for a while and I was going to work… Read more

  • 3/6 – Sick Day Four

    I’m getting a little more cabin-fevery-ish. First day, I was sick. Second day, mostly better. Third – better still, but Jason became ill. Fourth —  pretty sure I’m fine but Jason is on the upswing. Being the adults we are, we’re having sick days that almost any child would be envious of.   —  Days… Read more
