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

  • Little lost boy

    It’s been raining here. –  I mean, really raining.   Like three inches here and four inches in another county. It hasn’t gotten so bad that the highway has closed, but cars have made some nice water wings going through it. I like the rain.   I like the thunder. I don’t think people understand or respect… Read more

  • I saw Hereditary yesterday. It was a 1:10 showing and about a handful of people where there.   One was a child – a girl I think – maybe 13ish.  She was sitting behind me and, as far as I know, watched the whole thing. This was my third movie I’ve treated myself to in the… Read more

  • bash, bash, bash

    Look, okay, I know that I have quite a few health problems. I’m really very aware of them, what’s going on, and what the future could hold. Heck, at this point, I probably could almost be a doctor. I’ve been poked and prodded in just about every imaginable way over the past two years.  I’m getting to… Read more

  • Okay, yesterday I had a rather good eating day. I limited myself and didn’t really overeat. –  I fell off the wagon a little when I saw there was Wheat Chex. Oddly enough, Wheaties is probably one of my top 3 cereals.   I just like the taste.  Wheat Chex mostly has the same taste, but it… Read more

  • Mother’s Day

    This year has been particularly difficult on my mom. She’s homebound, probably in some pain, and can’t do yard work or do a garden, which some of her favorite things in the world. After everything and yadda yadda yadda, I’m glad she’s still with me, despite how ornery she is.     I know she’s ornery.   It… 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

  • 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

  • Shrink me, Fran

    In my head, psychologists are shrinks.  Grandmothers are battle axes.  Bras are bolder holders.   Childhood insight! I started to see a new shrink.   No, I don’t mean that in a negative way as some people may assume, but it’s not meant to be that way.   Think of shrink as someone who can shrink problems.   To… Read more
