I guess I just have to laugh? I think, “Oh, I really should write something today.” And then tree trimming trucks from the electric company roll up into the neighborhood. Yay for reliable power. Boo for waaaaah, waaaaah, waaaaah, boop, boop, boop, brrrrrrrrrrrrr, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, kapow, wham, kerchoo. What was I doing […]

Correlation Causation Yada Yada
A friend posited on the SoMe this week that perhaps those who continue dismissing Covid as not a serious problem, as really only affecting the elderly and infirm, don’t happen to spend any time around the elderly or infirm. Maybe that’s generous, maybe not. The case numbers, hospitalizations, and test positivity rate continue to rise […]
Wet Logs and Dry Kindling
“You know that blog you wrote the other day? It’s doing it again.” “Doing what again?” Which blog? What did I write? I don’t remember these things. There are so many things to remember. I was expecting some tech issue. “It’s raining walls of water.” “Okay, then I’m going to wrap up quickly here so […]
Keep On Keeping On
Have you ever paused in this whirlwind of a life and wondered, “What was it I did in the last week again?” Or month, year, etc. That’s me today. Well, there was a funeral for a friend’s dad … and calling hours … and lots of laundry … and an overnight trip … and oh […]
Normalish
Okay, who else has been waking up to a June bug apocalypse? It’s not unusual around these parts for June bugs to start showing up in May. I suppose weather can affect their season. This year’s onset was actually June, more like late June. Maybe the din of the cicadas kept them at bay for […]
This Too Shall Pass
Just when I think my spring allergies can’t be any worse … eh, they’re kinda bad. This too shall pass. If we can fast forward to the sweet spot between grass and ragweed season, that’d be great. And then let’s skip ahead to fall. If only life worked that way. I heard today about a […]
Agendas and Calendars, Oh My
Do you have and agenda or do you have an agenda? Some people refer to the paper calendars they use to schedule their lives as agendas. Agendae? Whatever. Having gone through the age of the 5”x8”-ish Franklin Planner, which weighed approximately five tons … and Palm Pilots, which famously would get out of sync and […]
This Is How Well I’m Doing
Every time I do something clumsy … Which happens a little too often … Every time I forget something … Even when I accomplish far fewer tasks than are on my to do list … I’ve been known to utter the phrase … This is how well I’m doing. How well are you doing in […]
Merry Christmas. There’s a Pandemic.
In my head I’m writing a song with that title. I envision ukulele accompaniment. (I neither own nor play ukulele.) Here’s what I’ve got so far: Merry Christmas, there’s a pandemic Merry Christmas, there’s a pandemic Merry Christmas, Happy Pandemic My head hurts, is it ‘rona Or just my allergy to pine I’d like to […]
Yikes and … Socially Distanced Deep Breath
Warning: This week’s pics might make you hungry. I’ve been busy in the test kitchen. Such is life during summer produce season. I’m still plotting more zucchini dishes. As pandemic fatigue continues, today brings news that Ohio’s governor has tested positive for COVID-19. Well then. Which begs the question … if we can’t keep the […]
