Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Today was not one of my more productive days when it comes to writing. However, I don’t regret it too much because I did something wonderfully fun. I’m almost embarrassed to tell you about it because I know you’ll be jealous, but . . . well, I have to boast:
Continue readingLooking at the headlines lately, I have the feeling we’re at a tipping point in America. I’ve had this feeling before, and it’s been an icky feeling, because my concern was that the slippery slope we were about to slide down would land America in the ditch. Now, though, I
Continue readingI’m off to the Travis Air Force Base Open House. I’ll tell you about it when I get back. In the meantime, I’m happy to report that my mother got excellent medical care and is overcoming her pneumonia really well. She feels fine and is still in the hospital only
Continue readingI’ve learned never to go visit my mom in the hospital first thing in the morning. It’s a busy time for nurses and a bad time for my mother, so I’m invariably in the way. I will be heading off soon, though, to find out how she’s doing. Before I
Continue readingMy mom suddenly went from her normal slightly loopy to very confused. It may be something as simple as a bladder infection (a common cause of confusion in the elderly) or it could be something more complicated. At her age, one expects things to happen so, while I’m concerned, I’m
Continue readingTo President Obama, the American military isn’t about defending America against her enemies. After all, why would he want to do that? Our chickens are coming home to roost and we deserve what’s coming to us. Instead, per Obama, our American military is all about addressing victim identity within America’s
Continue readingSorry for the silence today. I had some bills to pay this morning, and then I took my mother out for lunch and shopping. Normally, I would come home from such an outing a nervous wreck. Today, though, my oldest best friend in the world, whom I’ve known since I
Continue readingI’m soon heading to yet another appointment intended to keep my musculoskeletal system from disintegrating entirely. I’m hoping to be functional again by September or October, but it sure seems a long ways away. Anyway, before I go, these are for you (and let me know if you have anything
Continue readingSaturdays just slip away from me. Now you see ’em, now you don’t. Suddenly, it’s 1:30, and I’ve accomplished nothing more than making another batch of haroset, which I’m trying to eat in lieu of ice cream. There are things, though, that I’d like to share with you: The first
Continue readingThis has been a very strange day, starting at about 3 am when I awoke to find that the power had gone out. By the time I’d notified PG&E, I was wide awake and suspected that my day had begun early. Then, one of the dogs came down, which she
Continue readingSpring break is over and real life resumes. The kids weren’t thrilled to return to school, but I’m pretty pleased to have my life back on schedule. As you could probably tell from last week’s lethargic blogging, I don’t do well without some boundaries to my days. I’m off to
Continue readingI thought my day would be busier, but it’s settled into a relaxing mode that makes enticing just a wee bit of blogging. So that’s what I’m doing here — a wee bit of blogging. First on the agenda is a freaky “pigs flying” moment from MSNBC. NewsBusters caught a
Continue readingIt’s Easter Sunday, and that means all family all the time. No complaints here, though. It’s been a lovely day so far and I anticipate an equally pleasant afternoon and evening. Full blogging will not happen today, but here are a few (a very few) links that intrigued me: I’ve
Continue readingMy computer was giving me problems all this week, which slowed me down and, eventually, stopped me altogether. The computer finally is back up and running now, thanks to an old friend who’s a very good tech guru. Now, though, I have to run, since my Mom has a doctor’s
Continue readingWe always hear about countries or communities that are suffering from brain drain. I’m not sure if brain drain can ever be defined down to an individual level but, if it can, I’ve got it. Insomnia always leaves me with fewer brain cells the next day. Still, there’s interesting stuff
