I feel like I’m waiting for the Third Shoe to drop. Well, I say third, but I’ve lost count, honestly. It seems like there has been a hailstorm of dropping shoes that started in 2016 and hasn’t ended yet and it almost feels like it never will. It’s like we’re living in the apartment below […]
If ever we needed a day completely devoted to giving thanks, it’s right now. We do have a lot to be thankful for, even if we have to dig deep to find it. And hopefully on January 20, 2021 we will have so much more to be thankful for. I’m not talking about the easy […]
Frienily, we held on, we believed, we held the vision, we persisted. We have a President-Elect and a Vice-President Elect who are (relatively) sane, believe in science, and actually want to help people live better lives. Cue happy dance music and get yer groove on. But the hard work isn’t over by a long shot. […]
When I was a kid, there was a woman in our neighborhood who had a tracheotomy due to throat cancer. She continued to smoke through the hole in her throat. I have known way too many people over my lifetime who refused to do anything about their drinking until they woke up in the hospital […]
I’m thinking out loud here, connecting a few dots that I have put on the map along the way, seeing the shape of things from a 20,000 foot perspective, so don’t quote me on this, and don’t think that this is gospel or science, because I’m just thinking out loud. Okay? Okay. Here’s one sciencey […]
Summer is just not backing down, He is standing His ground, hanging on until the Autumn Lady comes to say, “Enough, child, you’re punch drunk. Go to bed.” The weather forecast said we could expect a high of 71 degrees today (that’s 22 for my civilized friends around the world), and here it is 91 […]
Love ‘im or . . . meh, Joe Biden is probably the next guy who’s butt will be in the chair behind the big desk in the Oval Office. And honestly, whatever. He knows the gig, he’ll do fine, Kamala will charm everybody and we won’t be a laughing stock anymore. Which is great. But […]
One might almost think humanity has outstayed its welcome here on Mother Earth. I don’t think I can even remember all the midden that has hit the windmill. Between the pandemic and the fire tornadoes, it has been one hell of a ride. The effects of climate change are making themselves conspicuous. We’re launching into […]
As is not unusual, I had no idea what to write about for this week’s post, so I asked the Tarot, because why not? Two of Swords, Seven of Wands, Ruler (King) of Cups.* Interesting. The Two of Swords is a card that typically advises the querent to withdraw, isolate, call a truce — but […]
Yep, I went through a rough patch. And I wasn’t going to talk about it, but then I realized, if we’re ever going to remove the stigma from depression, schizophrenia, bi-polar, and other otherness, we’re going to have to talk about it when it happens to us. I’ll try to be brief and not whiny. […]
