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

    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

  • 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.

  • 4/20 — part 2

    I am sooooo going for a walk tomorrow. Today has been horribly blah. Yeah, it’s been raining a bit, but it stopped.  I could have taken a walk this evening but didn’t for some reason.  I guess it’s okay to have a blah day every now and then. I didn’t clean out any closets or 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

    I’m trying to become more accepting of the entire virus situation. I have to keep reminding myself that it’s not forever. The world is just a little crazy right now, but things will even out soon. Exactly when soon (TM) is, no one knows.   A week?  A month?  Next year? But, life moves on. 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

    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

  • Coronavirus

    I’m calling bull. Yes, it’s a new virus. Yes, it kills people, but so does the common flu if you’re old or don’t take care of yourself.  Getting up out of bed in the morning can kill you.  Staying in bed can kill you.  Driving in cars can kill you.   A chicken bone can kill Read more
