    There’s going to be a rally in Tulsa Oklahoma in about from now. I think this is really going to be a make or break thing on the Covid front. There’s supposed to be something like 19,000 people for an inside rally.   There’s another one that’s supposed to happen outside. So, in two weeks, Read more

    Called it. Actually, I called it years ago and then again on this blog.    I don’t know which date, but it’s there. Now it’s official. Quaker is retiring Aunt Jemima. –  After 130 years. Not to be outdone, Mars is repackaging Uncle Ben.   It didn’t say that it was going to get rid of Read more

    He knew her before he knew her name. The ebony hair on the white pillow.   The pale and nearly translucent skin.  A barely breathing corpse. It was just like his dream. He knew this was why he had studied and trained for years to become a doctor.   Just to fulfill this dream. It was her.  Read more

    A long long long time ago, I came across this Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times from the introduction of a Terry Pratchett book.  I forget which one.    I think it was one of the novels about the indestructible Sam Vimes.  But, I could be wrong.   It’s been years and I had Read more

    I tend to write more when I’m in Indiana. I think that’s because some of my worries are poof. I’m not worried about the water bill or the electric bill.   I feel comfortable getting something to eat.  The family doesn’t get on me too much about it and I know enough to stay away from 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

    Here I sit. I have a blood draw at one and it’s eleven. There’s nothing to do in class.  Well, there’s always something, but I’m not doing it right now. The house is quiet save for the clanking in the dryer. I’m actually kind of nervous about the blood draw. Okay.   I famously hate needles, Read more

    I’m in a unique situation. I’m the oldest of three siblings, who are all in their 40s, who still get along with each other.  I think that’s something my dad never dreamed possible when he is, in part, responsible for our unity. Sure, we think and say bad things about each other every now and Read more

    Okay. This is getting to be old real quick. I’ve been back at Mom’s house for not even 72 hours at this point. I came in on Sunday.   Today is Tuesday. Ever since then, I have been physically exhausted. I’ve been going to sleep around 9 or 10, embarrassingly, and not waking up until 9 Read more
