  • Lost in the triad.

    The maid/mother/crone isn’t new to me. Rather, when I was fascinated with Wiccian, the trio really it home.  I found it echoed in Greek and Roman mythology.   Of course, it’s present in Catholicism and Christianity.  The three can be found in movies, books, and television shows.  Video games have entire constructs about the three.  First thing that pops into… Read more

  • It’s a bit hard to believe that about 13 months ago, Mrs. Clinton herald her downfall with the statement “Trump supporters belong in a basket full of deplorables.” It was something like that.  By that time, she was nothing more than a nuance to me since I couldn’t get over her lack of email accountability.  Whatever… Read more

  • The city named Bob

    A couple of weeks ago, my brother and I came to a consensus that the city we where born and raised in should be called Bob. Our city was previously named after a certain Spaniard who hooked up with a queen, got four boats, and sailed the ocean blue in 1492.  However, because of reasons, my sibling and I… Read more

  • Fireside tweets

    It is whispered by some that only by abandoning our freedom, our ideals, our way of life, can we build our defenses adequately, can we match the strength of the aggressors. … I do not share these fears. Pres. Roosevelt –  Fireside Chat – May 26, 1940 ——————————- Roosevelt was, I think, one of the… Read more

  • It simply amazes me that Hillary Clinton is still placing blame. It was the Russians that caused her the promised election.   It was Bernie.   It was the emails.  It was this.  It was that.   It’s not her fault that she lost.   That honor belongs to someone else, probably Comey. And her loss caused her to… Read more

  • I saw Stephen King’s IT on Friday (the original day) at the 1:20 showing. So what? Why is this remarkable, you ask? I didn’t feel guilty about spending money on myself for a ticket. I didn’t berate myself for sitting 2+ hours without at least standing, fidgeting, or doing something. I broke away from NOA… Read more

  • I was talking to someone yesterday about the lack of contact from my psychiatrist.   She provided me with insight that never ever, ever, ever considered. —   The person claimed that I felt the psychiatrist abandoned me. She urged me to reach out to the psychiatrist.  I was the person who was ‘abandoning.’   I jumped to conclusions… Read more

  • Head Shrinkers is how my dad used to refer to the psychological profession.  Or, to be short, just ‘shrinks.’ I’m willing to bet this sounds like a derogatory term for those in the profession.  A person doesn’t go through college, internships, and the fear of starting new to be referred as a poor name.  I understand… Read more

  • For those not educated in fortune tellers who have been dead for nearly 500 years, Nostradamus was a reputed Roman Catholic, physician,  and apothecary.   He survived the Black Plague, attempted to find a cure, and had several children.  One of his many admirers was Catherine de Medicis – a very wealthy and influential woman who… Read more

  • Hello Harvey

    No, I don’t mean Harvey Dent (Two Face), but rather the hurricane, of course. I can’t help but pay attention to it.  Fox, CNN, and other broadcasters directly talk about the hurricane or shrink the redundant blue/green/red/yellow swirls to the right-hand corner of the screen just in case if people don’t watch it, it could… Read more
