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

  • 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

  • I’m on the fridge…

    In case you didn’t know or I haven’t mentioned it or whatever, I live on a dead end street.     There’s one way in.   There’s one way out.   They happen to be the same way over a railroad track. And, I just found out, it’s like this since 1918. Dern man, right? When I returned from… Read more

  • It’s that wonderful time in the semester where the rough drafts are due. –  It is my job to tell a bunch of adults that their grammar is fairly sub-par in the worst cases and passible in the best. I’ve learned through experience and time, a lot of instructors don’t approach the grammar issue.  Maybe… Read more

  • Calloused Hands

    I’ve been thinking about my dad a lot lately. Well, rather, I’ve been thinking about why I’ve been thinking about my dad. — I kind of blame Memorial Day. There’s just something about graveyards that reminds people of the dead.  Course, my dad was in the Army for a while too. I don’t think anyone… 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

  • A good eating day

    I’m trying really, really, really hard to have a good eating day. Most of the time, I don’t, but I’m really trying today. A good eating day means that I don’t overeat, under eat, and I don’t stress out about it.  I don’t try to guess the calories, look at nutrition labels, and guesstimate how… Read more

  • Wedding Mint

    My sister is the bride’s maid for her best friend’s wedding this August. Today was our first outing looking for a dress at the local bridal shop. As soon as I walked in, this wedding dress, shining white with silk, lace, and bows, was waiting to greet me.  It was wrapped around an immaculate headless… Read more

  • Yesterday, we had another school shooting. And yesterday, yet again, a lot of people blamed video games, guns, bullying, ect ect ect.   At this point, I really don’t think anything is really be done. Suggestions to stop or deter it has been teachers carrying guns, which I’m oddly for.  Having worked in a public school… Read more

  • Random 001

    There’s a lot I want to write about, but I don’t feel like writing about anything. Does that make any since? But, if I’m ever going to squeak my books, I really should actually start writing – anything from the start.   It’s easy to say you’re a writer, but hard to be one. So.. um…… Read more
