Vacation Thoughts III
Today’s thought is for everyone who has had a bad day relating to coworkers. I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to recharge. Well, at least as much as possible with a three-year-old around. So for the next little while I’m going to be sharing one pearl of wisdom a day that I found […]
Vacation Thoughts II
This isn’t so much a poke at the younger generation as a sad commentary on how litigious our society has become. It is like the warning that coffee may be hot – it shouldn’t need to be stated, but the lawyers insist. I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to recharge. Well, at least […]
Vacation Thoughts I
I’ve used the line myself – this rings so true. I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to recharge. Well, at least as much as possible with a three-year-old around. So for the next little while I’m going to be sharing one pearl of wisdom a day that I found online. Some days it […]
Flashback Directions

The Joys of Aging
For the record: When the check engine light comes on, I take my car to a mechanic. For other warning lights, it depends. Low tire pressure I can fix myself. Same with shut rear door. Being neither a mechanic, nor a doctor, I don’t take chances. But I still found the meme funny.

Kamala Harris set a record Monday, raising $81 million the day after Joe Biden stepped aside as the Democratic candidate. That would indicate a pretty fair amount of support – more indeed than […]
A Midweek Thought
Unfortunately life doesn’t work that way. But I will take some time at some point in the day to just appreciate my surroundings. Feel free to join me.
Accountability
One of the reasons politicians have fallen into disfavor in our society is that they take themselves too seriously. After all, they are just normal people with a gift for getting elected. n There are all sorts of accusations raised against them as a class: they are corrupt, in it for themselves, in it for […]
Smile, It’s Monday
There’s so much truth to this one. I need to stay current for work, but most days I wish I could remain blissfully ignorant. As another work week starts, may our experience with news and current affairs do nothing to make us anxious or raise our blood pressure. At least, we can hope for that.
Signs of Our Times
I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist. Apparently there’s a gas station in Seattle, Washington, that like to make drivers laugh. Today some samples.
