Wise Madness
Every year on July 4 I read the Declaration of Independence. It’s never the same twice, for I am not the same, because the world is not the same. As Saturday is No Kings Day I decided to do my reading today. Here you can read the text of America’s founding document and see what […]
I’m going to write a blog I should have written eight years ago, immediately after I sinned. In I Claudius Augustus says to Claudius; Your brother Germanicus says you are loyal to three things, Rome, your friends, and the truth. That’s the kind of thing I would like people to say about me.” That’s one […]
I was in therapy for a long time, so I learned a few things. I’ve been involved in politics since I was 10, I handed out literature for Eugene McCarthy, so I learned a few things. I read blogs and listen to podcasts on politics and polling as well as reading the New York Times […]
I have not been writing because I have not been having adventures. That is not a good excuse. Days without adventures are days to write about thoughts. Those are supposed to be most important entries. It’s late, I don’t think I’m up to thoughts. I could write a potpourri, at least that’s the way I’ll […]
It’s 8:03 PM on a day I had no plans and I’m just starting to blog. That’s not good. Now I have to squeeze it in before the Met game. Yesterday’s adventure was my first walk to Aldi in ages. I used to do this weekly. It’s 2.94 miles away. That’s not too impressive but […]
I’m trying something new, writing while watching the Democratic National Convention. I’m not sure why I’m watching, I dislike political speechifying. I like the way I put it yesterday, It’s pretty much the same thing as a high school pep rally. I don’t need help getting psyched for this election. I’m going to a virtual […]
I have had adventures in darkness since the last time I wrote. On Monday night I made a delicious dinner, bratwurst and roasted potatoes. To top it off I made popcorn. I spent my life scorning fancy (i.e. expensive) popcorn. I always bought Jolly Time or the store brand. I know popcorn can taste better […]
I’m posting again, give me a cookie! Today is the best day ever. Why? It’s Valentine’s Day. No, that does not mean I have a Valentine. As has happened every year of my life I’m alone on Valentine’s Day. I’m not a misanthrope, not having someone special is not a good thing. So why is […]
I have a meeting in an hour. Let’s see if I can get something written by then. What exciting things did I do yesterday? Nothing. I even made a cheater dinner, a frozen Jamaican Spicy Beef Patty. I don’t buy prepared foods anymore, not for years, but these are good and I can’t make it […]
This is midterm week and all my regular routines are upset. I have a two hour break until a meeting so I’m taking advantage of that to write. This week we have short schedules, each class is 0nly 20 minutes, enough time to take attendance and maybe a problem or two. Then there’s a two […]
