    I feel like I have a lot going on. It’s temporary, I think, but it’s a lot. The most immediate is that the class ends tomorrow. Final essays were due last night and only a handful submitted. So, in theory, there should be at least ten finals plus oral presentations, plus little bs things to… Read more

    This is kind of an odd day. The Super Bowl ended with a bang, apparently, as the Eagles slaughtered the favored Chefs. Favored, I guess because of Swift’s boyfriend, Trump endorsed, and received numerous disputed calls to get them there. I guess it is supposed to be one of the most lopsided Bowls ever. The… Read more

    I don’t know if I’m cold or hot. When I wake up or just do something around the house, I feel like I’m freezing and resist the urge to play with the thermostat. Of course, I cave because the hands feel like blocks of ice and I start shivering. On comes the heat and within… Read more

    I kind of have to feel for the journalists. They “actually” have a job now. After four years of non-reporting and hiding the Biden’s fumbles, there has been a constant and rapid fire changes in policy through the drama of executive orders. The nominations of cabinet members need coverage since, at this point, most of… Read more

    It’s about one in the morning. Trump will be sworn in, again, in roughly eleven hours. He, apparently, has over 100 executive orders to be signed before lunch which is reputed to undo some of Biden’s bull and radically start an American transformation. Biden committed harm to America. It’s far reaching and will impact people… Read more

    The world is going back to normal. Jason has returned to work I’m not seeing the little sis as frequently. I still get a mom visit, but it’s brief as she injects the shot of whatever big pharma miracle into me to help (hopefully) rebuild my bones. It’s cold – uncomfortably so. There’s more snow… Read more

    Does anyone else feel that this is America’s underlying song since Trump won? Well, maybe not every American but enough to encapsulate the majority feeling and cultural unrest. Not cultural unease. There’s been too many historic waves of terror over the pas thirty years, even this year alone, to make us feel at ease. But,… Read more

  • Jason actually wanted to see a movie. Normally, I want to go and he doesn’t. So, we don’t. But he wanted to see this one and I was curious and we did. I’m glad we did. There are bloggers and reviews that will point out how controversial, good, had, or honest it is. I’m not… Read more

    ….. Sneezles (the cat) hasn’t eaten anything in nearly a week. Or, at least about a week. He barely moves. Barely drinks. I think he mews when he doesn’t see anyone for a while or just when he has strength to do so. Quite clearly, he won’t be around for much longer. And there’s nothing… Read more

    Well, off he goes. Jason went to take part two of the Certified Accounting Test. I feel that I have to spell it out because if people thought he was testing for the CIA it would be insulting. I’m at the house today. There’s no real reason to go out save for dinner. But I… Read more
