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

    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

    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

    Today didn’t go as I had planned, but it was a good thing this time. The original plan was to see The Invisible Man at an 11 or noon showing. I was going to treat myself to Polo Tropical.     I’ve been wanting to try that for a while and I was going to work… Read more

  • 3/6 – Sick Day Four

    I’m getting a little more cabin-fevery-ish. First day, I was sick. Second day, mostly better. Third – better still, but Jason became ill. Fourth —  pretty sure I’m fine but Jason is on the upswing. Being the adults we are, we’re having sick days that almost any child would be envious of.   —  Days… Read more

    Not exactly how I expected my day to go. I was ill for the past two days. Starting on Tuesday. the only thing I could keep inside me was blood. Food and waste certainly weren’t hanging around. How romantic and super non-embarrassing that night was… to be forcefully regurgitating again, just two weeks after the… Read more
