My Kings Books event is just three weeks away now! I’m getting excited and a wee bit nervous. I’ve only done one other personal appearance since COVID and it was for a much smaller group (eight, as I recall). The Kings Book venue can accommodate up to 100 people, 80 of them in chairs.I very […]

Have you ever noticed? Trumps’s people look — and act — like abused, silenced hostages, like terrorized children. Observe their body language in every image. Do they look like free, happy people? No, they look and act just like terrorized hostages. I noticed this first years ago whenever he stood publicly with the women

I’m having so much fun being retired that I’ve decided only to blog once a week from now on unless there’s some actual breaking news in my life that can’t wait a week to share. I’m loving walking 8000 to 12,000 steps per day, reclining in my back yard part of every afternoon, and
“Cadet Bones Spurs” (the guy with five military draft deferrals) wants a military parade for his 79th birthday this year. And because, just coincidentally, the US Army will be celebrating its 250th birthday on the same day, he has decided to “executive action” one into existence entirely without governmental approval.

Later today I’ll be getting an Emotional Support Animal Letter from the counselor who delivered my earlier diagnosis and documentation letter several years ago. I had to let her know the various ways in which Charli helps keep me on an even keel emotionally to mitigate against the accompanying stress and anxiety I feel

I find myself feeling freer the closer I get to September. Although this particular act of “freedom” is tinged with some nervousness — pulling up stakes and moving to a foreign country with a different language isn’t a commonplace, “inside the comfort zone” thing to do for most individuals.Especially for someone like me, who

I need to get my GoFundMe relocation fundraiser off the bench again. Here’s the link: https://gofund.me/e3a967ed Last night I wrote an appeal-for-help letter to former writing clients asking them to send me a belated “bonus” for the thousands/tens of thousands (probably millions by now cumulatively) of dollars that I’ve helped them earn over

Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate. First thing I did this morning after liberating the chickens from the predator-proof part of their pen was clean the fish tank. It was time and I had the energy. I’d been looking at it for days and thinking, “Yeah, gotta do that …
