    Had an unbelievably lazy morning. I did get up early, around 6 which I think is my natural time, and munched on some slightly burnt low-fat eggos and a yogurt.  Felt cold.    Went back to bed and snuggled under the covers playing phone games while listening to the birds and the rain. At a Read more

    Well, today has been kind of a waste. After going with baby brother to his doctor’s appointment this morning (no masks required), I came home.   Worked a bit.   Caught up on my games.   Took a couple hour nap  Watched some cold openings of the BB99 (?) on Youtube and read Quora for about an hour Read more

    This has been a day of patience. I had to be patient this morning and felt like the morning hours were wasted.  I was to spend the day with my little sister, who didn’t wake until around eleven.   Which, I guess, has become the new COVID normal, but I couldn’t help but feel let down Read more

    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.

    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
