Everything, and I do mean everything has gotten to be crazy expensive. Inflation is stifling this country. Supply chains, interest rates, stock market, fuel costs, and groceries have all been impacted and are touching every aspect of our lives. It’s hard to justify doing anything when you can’t put your finger on any one thing…
Are we? I’ve been wondering about it for quite a while. There was so much Biden could have accomplished over the last two years, but his desire for bi-partisan agreements stalemated important issues. The biggest, of course, should have been codifying Roe v. Wade. They still have two months and no effort is being made….
Jen and I recently had an evening dining with a group of couples that we like, respect, and cherish our friendships with. This is sometimes hard when you don’t share religious beliefs, political ideologies, and in some cases just a geographical environmental difference that has shaped our viewpoints. So, we were very careful not to…
For the last few weeks, I’ve been making a point of not watching news other than to get local info and the weather. I have to say I have felt better and have been less stressed even though I’ve gotten bits and pieces of the craziness going on. I’m not sure I can keep it…
Twenty-seven school mass shootings in 2022, so far. That would be a horrible number if we were talking about the entire history of the world, but that is just the first half of 2022. When is enough going to be enough and when do we address the issue head on with substantial legislation? Is legislation…
I’ve been watching many sources of news trying to get a balanced feed of information. I’ve come to the conclusion that near one hundred percent of the people covering events are in agreement. We are in some very strange times, maybe even unprecedented and I think the majority of people are unclear of how to…
When I refer to fringe benefits, I’m referring to the marginal benefit of politics and that it isn’t anything new, but certainly either far right or far left. Absurdly, we have a handpicked Supreme Court that is set to overturn an almost fifty years ruling by the Supreme Court in 1973, when Roe v. Wade…
Every once in a while, just as you think you are figuring life out and all it has to give you, from nowhere, you’re thrown a curveball that makes you stand back and ponder. It comes in many forms and can be something very inward or openly involving others. One such moment happened to me…
Like just about everything in the world these days, there is a great divide over whether you support Will Smith or Chris Rock and the Oscars 2022 Incident. As crazy as it was to see it happen on live tv, we shouldn’t be astonished that it happened. We all thought it was fake at first….
Outside of being busy, I’ve neglected writing and the mind is beginning to get full of opinions to mumble about. So much so, I feel I’m walking around irritated about current events and wishing I was of an age to do something about it. Nothing more is on my mind than the madman in Russia,…
