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

    It’s kind of been a rough time since I last posted. I was going to go back to Indiana last Sunday, but the plane was canceled.   They put me on an earlier flight without telling me and had to reschedule.  I’m here till Mother’s Day. Maybe. JetBlue announced today that they’re not going to be… 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.… Read more

  • 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

    I hate breaking in a new supervisor. I’ve been with this college as an adjunct for over five years – Lauren and Greg. Greg really didn’t care.   He was on his way out anyway.   Lauren tried to be ‘attentive’ starting out, but she bowed for the most part after a couple of months.  Lauren had… 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

    Well, at least this pandemic has done one thing that I didn’t think would happen for a really long time. —  After some nudging, Jason pre-ordered the Final Fantasy 7 remake. It was delivered on Friday and he started playing that same day. There’s something special about playing a game knowing that there aren’t any… 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

    “The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it. Article One, Section 9, Clause 2. –  U.S. Constitution. As far as I know, this has never ever been invoked.  Well, invoked in the continental 48. I think that says a lot.… Read more
