Soooo … what’s the latest crisis I’m supposed to be indignant about? I’m having trouble keeping up. Earlier this week The Washington Post issued a pretty major correction to a January 9 news story about then-President Trump’s December phone call to Georgia state election officials. Here’s some commentary (i.e. opinion), including video, on the implications. […]

Potato Nation
PBS cooking shows were on the tv. After watching Julia Child make a tarte de pomme classique in black and white, we moved on to Scandanavian cooking. I lost track of how many times the host, standing in a luscious green field overlooking a fjord or something, uttered the word potato. “Norway is a potato […]
March Forth
This is how much I want to get out of bed today. How much I want to March forth on March fourth. I’m just over here waiting to duck and cover from the next crazy controversy. Potayto, potahto. Felines with headwear. Streets named for trees. “Judge not” twisted to serve one’s own whims. Say something […]
Creeps and Creepers
Brown creeper update Day 5,347. Sing it with me … I still feel like … a creeper’s creeping on me. The newest resident of the house adapted quickly to the absence of a couple limbs and is still flying regularly into the window. I have approximately 5,347 pics on my phone of birds. The majority […]
Nuthatch
Bird is still the word. And it might just drive me to the nuthatch. When last we spoke, a little bird was making a noisy nuisance of itself at my bedroom window. Over the last few days my new best friend has become bolder, allowing a better and more frequent view. Definitely not a wren. […]
Bird’s the Word
I don’t know if it’s the way the light hits the glass in the morning … Or if there’s a nest in the bushes just outside the window … Or both … But this bird likes to make a noisy racket in the morning just a few feet from where my head is trying to […]
The Colors of the Wind
This salt is purple. Why is the salt purple? As I headed into an appointment on a recent frosty morning, the parking lot and sidewalks were bejeweled in a lovely lavender hue. Beets. Beets make the salt purple. Much like the kale that is supposed to be uber healthy but I still don’t particularly love, […]
These Boots Were Made for Walking
Actually, my Nike running shoes were made for walking. On a busy day this week during which I was struggling to fit everything in, including a heart healthy three mile walk, I finally made it out the door. Wow. That’s why I was trying so hard to make it out the door. Afterward I had […]
Bird Doo
I kept hearing a noise in the garage. Almost a knocking sound. That’s weird. Who knocks on an overhead door? We have people doors with doorbells and everything. Or maybe that’s knocking on a window. I wonder if a bird is stuck in the garage. One flew in there the other day. I ventured out. […]
I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me
No, not Big Brother. Not the NSA, CIA, FBI, big tech, etc. Not the Illuminati. I’m not even speaking theologically about God, guardian angels, etc. If you’re singing this tune by now, though, you’re my kind of people. My Ohio State fan cutout arrived a couple weeks ago. I expected it to be life-size, or […]
