Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

Just thinking

  • Yes, I have returned to Indiana from Florida and, gee, do I feel civilized. I had a doctor appointment on Monday, had one today, and have one scheduled for Friday.  Next week is the cancer doctor and some other doctor… I forget.   In June, I have a new foot doctor to see somewhere I’ve never… Read more

  • A rocky vent

    There’s this odd phenomena happening.   From my limited observations, this could be a global issue.  All I know is that it has happened in my home town, surrounding towns, and even in Florida. I think this happens when a bunch of people gather who have to much time, money, and misplaced good intentions. I really… Read more

  • … and I walked.

    Since coming to Florida, I’m guessing that I’ve walked between five and 13-ish miles a day, save the one day that it was raining and a couple of days I stayed in to catch up on work. –   My mileage may vary, as I still can’t find the wire to charge the Fitbit, but today’s… Read more

  • Comparison is not a sin

    In the House, we were told comparison was a sin. It was sin to compare what I have to what someone else has, to the way she or he looks, or even to how they act or behavior. I think the running theory was that the girls in the House needed to be happy with… Read more

  • No socks day

    I declare today to be no socks day. In my Flordian observations, I’ve noticed a distinct lack of socks. This is the land of year-long flip-flops and sandals.   Socks are expressly forbidden. They’re not found on the feet of those who were the painful to look at high heel sandals of those who visit the… Read more

  • Florida – Take 2

    Well, it’s official. I’m flying back on March 18th. This trip will be a little longer than the first – 6 weeks instead of 4. I suppose this is a step in the right direction.    Still, makes me nervous. The weather, while temped tossed, is changing for the better in Indiana.   From where I am,… Read more

  • Term end time

    It’s that time of month again. –  The once every eight-ish weeks when one college term ends, there’s a two second breath of air, and the next term begins.   The past two weeks, I’ve type so much that the gel on my fingertips have chipped off. Last week, it was the rough draft.   Last night,… Read more

  • Gun control for mental health

    Again, I was back at the gym. Instead of talking to a stranger, I was talking to an older woman.   I think her name was Janet (Janice?)  She’s short with white hair.   Great personality and a booming voice that’s fit for a retired kindergarten teacher…  which is what she is.   I think she told me… Read more

  • Panther Claws

    Lately, there’s been a lot of hype over the new Black Panther movie.   Schools are taking classes to see it.   From what I’ve been told, pre-order tickets are as precious as adamantium.  It’s already on track to blow the recent beat up the recent Thor movie at the box office. All that’s great.   More power… Read more

  • Outside Fuzzy

    Once, several years ago, mom had several birdfeeders, ranging from plastic, to wood, to metal, filled with sunflower seeds and thistle seeds. I would sit on the front porch, surrounded by birdsong.   If I ever looked up from my laptop, blue jays, robins, assorted finches, and cardinals fought each other for position on the feeders.  … Read more
