Make A Mark

I have no chance to existin the way a person whodoes not flinch at the manyinteruptions we humansface daily lives. Or do I? Each day I start bystanding vertically nextnext to the bed bringsa new chance to workon achieving my dailygoal of not just planningto DO something, butactually doing it. I do not need to…

In One Door and Out the Other

Does it make any sense to, as I am selling things online on Etsy, 1) buy MORE things that I think I can make a little money off of, and 2) get more different items on Etsy to try and gain more customers? Yeah. I thought it didn’t make sense. Too late. Peace. Kevin

All Aboard

Like an ostrich, sometimes I find it easier to just bury my head into virtual sand, rather than dwell on things that depress. It has been a difficult time lately with a lot of medical visits and, so far, two surgeries (counting next week). I didn’t realize, or I hoped it would not come to…

The Old Lady Up The Street

An old lady lives in a house up the street from Grandma’s. It is one of my favorite places to go in the whole world. It is like nothing else I have ever seen in my life. There is an old screened-in building in the middle of the grassy lawn, right next to the large…

32 Percent

A headline in the Guardian today: “Just 32% of Americans say Trump has right priorities, new poll finds, ahead of State of the Union speech.” Who are these people and what the HELL are they drinking? “Right Priorities” — really? Peace. Kevin

My Mobile Phone

It seems like if I didn’t have my mobile phone, I would not be able to do so many things that, in the past, I could manage to do without assistance. There is more, but you get the idea. It seems like I would be lost without my phone, and I’m not sure I am…

Gazpacho

Three days before Christmas, I told her, “I know what I want for Christmas.” She stopped and gazed down at me –looking for a smirk, a smile, a grin, or a twinkle in my eye. Was it a joke or was I having her on? I stared up at her, suppressing my smirk, my smile,…

Talkin’ To Myself

I added a few links a while back, and I have not received any subscription requests. This means either there really isn’t anyone looking at the site OR people ARE looking at the site (doubtful, I see the stats) and don’t care to subscribe OR there are PPL looking, but the s*** I am posting…

Pens

How many pens do you have? Do you know what they are all used for, and/or do you use all your pens for what they are supposed to be used for? I have a LOT of pens. It is part of my overall FOMO attitude and my collecting sickness. I have fountain pens, ballpoint pens,…

Busy

All of a sudden, there are not enough days in the week. I am busy, busy, busy — with periods of uselessness/sleeping/doom-scrolling. I’m taking three classes — not just free ones, but real ones that cost money. The first is a self-study course in poetry that I may have mentioned before. I am taking too…
