Not Dead Yet

I was at the doctor’s yet again the other day. While waiting my turn to enter the privileged space behind door number one, an older gentleman and his wife came out from the same (only) door. He was short in stature (though I might be soon if I don’t stop shrinking) and wore a cap…

Christmas Letter

I am going to write a Christmas letter to include in Christmas cards this year. Just in case we send Christmas cards, which we usually do not. In any case, at least this weird (so far) year will be easier to remember if I write happenings down somewhere. And won’t everyone be surprised if I…

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…

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…

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…

Small Town Shopping

No CVS. No Target. No factory outlets. We do have a combinationAce Hardware/Pharmacy, if you can believe that. We do have a few good restaurants, a ski resort, and even a Starbucks. It costs $5 to see a movie. So, life isn’t grim. However, when I NEED something, and there isn’t a place to get…
