I’ve mostly stopped looking at coronavirus memes. I’m overwhelmed by social media. I can’t even keep up with friends’ posts, let alone sift through the junk. There’s new music from friends I do need to get to … and a few ministry opportunities I have to leave to my partners in crime at the moment. […]

Bias Schmias
Dear friends, your unconscious bias is showing. Everyone has unconscious bias. You. Me. Them. An orange whip to anyone who immediately recognized the movie reference there. I don’t call myself a feminist. I consider myself a proud member of the vast right wing conspiracy, after all. But I do know a little somethin’ somethin’ about […]
Be Kind
The insanity continues. The insanity of my life. The insanity of social media. The insanity of pandemic pandemonium. Right now I’m tired. But I just downed an iced coffee, so I’ll be fine. I’m thinking of downing another so I’ll be extra fine. Regarding the pandemic … more people’s tinfoil hats are showing. Not to […]
Shell Shocked
In today’s Wine with Dewine & Snackin’ with Acton – as in the daily 2pm press conference featuring Ohio governor Mike Dewine and director of public health Dr. Amy Acton – the heroic ODH director talked about her own experience going through the stages of grief as we navigate the COVID19 crisis. She also encouraged […]
Mask Wearing and Other Easter Traditions
Time wasters are a pet peeve of mine. Today’s adventure to town – my first time leaving the house in three days – turned out to be a fruitless mission. Apparently store policy varies depending on who is working. Why did I bother calling ahead again? Peace and love, friends. I understand this a challenging […]
Pivot!
I had a great birthday weekend. Thanks for asking. As a belated gift, the powers that be at the Friendbook got me a gift so spectacular you aren’t going to believe it. Go ahead, guess what it is. Zuck’s army labeled my site as spam (the one on which you’re reading this, unless you’re catching […]
Tenacity
“Hey there! How are you?!?” “I’m fine. How are you?” I’m not really, but who is. I was feeling supremely unfine in so many different ways, but it seemed like neither the time nor place for sharing. We chatted for a few minutes. “No one is like you. No one has your tenacity.” While tempted […]
Deathbed Confessions
Greetings, faithful readers! I’m coming at ya from an afternoon spent sitting in the BMV renewing my driver’s license. With the new super duper industrial strength “compliant” version, you don’t actually leave with your license in hand. You leave with your old license – now hole punched like swiss cheese in the corner – and […]
Focus
Sometimes you don’t realize how much people are thinking the same thing until you open up your mouth and talk about it. Just another tactic Satan uses … discourage and distract those with something that should be said … prompt those who should keep their mouths shut … generally disturb the balance of the two. […]
Reminders & Remembrances
The older and busier I get, the more I’m in love with the reminders app on my phone. They say the memory is the first thing to go, and perhaps that statement is true, but our lists of things to remember often grows beyond our human capacity. I actually put a reminder in my phone, […]
