I reached for my glasses this morning and wow… they were filthy. Smudged up, cloudy, just gross. I could barely see through them. It’s funny, I didn’t notice how bad they were until I actually looked through them. That’s how it goes, right? The smudges sneak up on you. One day everything looks fine, and … More Friday – A Few Swipes of a Shirt Tail
Today is Election Day. An exciting day…at least I think so. I’m always touched, inspired, and honestly a little optimistic when I step up to the voting machine. It’s not quite as cool as the old-school setup where you’d pull a curtain shut behind you and flick those retro-looking switches (remember those? You felt like … More Tuesday – Election Day
I’m cheating today. I am sharing an opinion post that I didn’t write but saw shared on Facebook (Thanks to Gaylan for sharing!) It comes from a former West Virginia legislator. I have thought about,and had a lot of discussions about her topic. It is one reason why I write this blog. She puts it … More Friday – Bearing Witness
“What if…” That’s how every episode of Wild Kratts begins. The Kratt Brothers say it with such energy and excitement right before they’re whisked away into the animated world of creatures and adventures. My youngest, Eleni, loves this show. Honestly, I do too. It’s that perfect mix of real-life science and cartoon storytelling, educational, colorful, … More Wednesday – What If…
I went to the No Kings Protest yesterday. It seemed like something I should do. I mean, it should be obvious that we do not want a king, or a king-wanna-be, here in the United States of America. Now, there are folks on the right saying, “We don’t have a king! Trump won a national … More Sunday – No Kings
Instead of reacting and talking about our current President, why don’t we shout out our own ideas? Cement those ideas into structures and then sell, sell, sell! There is too much stuff coming from this administration to try to keep up with and react/comment on. So stop it! I wrote the above as notes/reminders/title to … More Instead of Reacting – Let’s Shout
“The Blood Purge of June 30, 1934, was a warning of how ruthless the new leaders could be. Yet the Nazi terror in the early years affected the lives of relatively few Germans and a newly arrived observer was somewhat surprised to see that the people of this country did not seem to feel that … More We are in a moment
I am announcing my bid for office. How do I look? I heard the other day that the last two Democratic Presidents came out of nowhere to win the presidency. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton were relatively unknown compared to the “usual” candidates. You could probably go back to the last three Democratic Presidents and … More Coming Down the Escalator
I was again going through my notes and things and came across the note Err on the Side of Action I don’t know why I wrote this down but when re-reading it just now I wish I could implant this into every teenager head. (and many a non-teenager!) It seems like a lot of folks … More Err on the Side of Action
