Yesterday I played pickleball for just over an hour for the first time in a year. It was super windy, and I had never been on an outdoor court before… Those who tried to play despite the winds didn’t last very long. Jackie and I were there longest, because we came early so […]

I had a fascinating dream this morning just before waking up. In the dream, I was the emcee for a large gathering of like-minded people. At first we were assembled at what appeared to be a large fairgrounds-type facility. I found myself leading this gathering, but I didn’t have any real direction
Last night at around midnight, after watching Parts 1 and 2 of the Lonesome Dove series (long overdue, and probably coincidentally), my brain flipped a switch. I’m decidedly HAPPY again! It feels like a freaking miracle. Here’s what happened. I turned off the lights at about midnight with the thought it was time

After nearly nine decades, here they come again — SCARY “SOCIALISTS” — rescuing We the People (“the riffraff”) and penalizing the poor, poor, pitiful, misunderstood billionaires in Ivory Towers… Can Trump’s brainwashed zealots be far behind, crying foul … or will they be gob-smacked back into Reality by what happens for them when the

Well, well, well… who’d a thunk turning 70 could be this painless, or this much FUN? What a wonderful day my birthday has been for me… My sister, Jackie, is away in Arizona playing pickleball with the snowbirds who usually live up here most of the year, but she didn’t forget my birthday.

Political Turmoil Being an eternal optimist, I felt pretty certain I’d feel better (less stressed) after the Biden-Harris Administration was sworn in. Of course, that was before January 6th happened, when all hell broke loose outside and inside the U.S. Capitol. Now there’s the threat of an assassination coup during Biden’s first

Upwork (“Upchuck”) will be down for maintenance all day today, so you’re going to be the beneficiary of the extra time. Yippy skippy, right? When Elance renamed itself Upwork several years ago, I thought that was the dumbest move they’d ever made. How many positive words do you know that start with “up”?
