Government Showdown
As I write this, on Wednesday afternoon, things on Capitol Hill have gotten a bit testy. (Well, okay, testier than usual.) The White House is refusing to comply with Congressional subpoenas, which is pretty much unheard of. The House is … Continue reading

Not Much Going On
I apologize, folks, but I’ve been absolutely too busy to think much about what to write, this week. I’m in the middle of an inter-office shift in my day job, and at home–well, it’s springtime. It’s the “springtime” stuff that … Continue reading
Cat’s Out of the Bottle, Djinni Won’t Get in the Bag
The inescapable news of the last week or so is, of course, the Mueller Report. Basically no-one has actually read it yet, so I’m not going to spend much time on it. But “not much” is not “none.” Frankly, I’m … Continue reading

Learned it in Kindergarten
As I started to talk about last time, I’d like to explore the idea of what, when, and how much to share with others. I don’t think there’s a one-size-fits-all “right” answer to the question; at the end of the … Continue reading

Whipsaw Weather
“In like a lion…” A deranged, manic-depressive lion, perhaps. We’ve had days of phenomenal weather, followed by rain, sleet, and snow. Closer to the latter, as I write this. The various “spring” plants are coming up, though, and things are … Continue reading
A Little Taste of Summer
The weather right now is being uncooperative. After a couple of warm days last week, we had an inch and a half of snow on Saturday, followed by low 60’s on Sunday. As I write this on Wednesday evening, we’re … Continue reading
A New Year, A New Plan
Happy 2018, and welcome back! I hope your holidays were pleasant. Mine certainly went well, despite an inordinate amount of work around the house. They were quiet, this year, and a bit of a time for some introspection. I had … Continue reading

Assessments
The last year has certainly had its share of ups and downs… In some ways, it’s hard to believe that eleven months ago and change, we were thinking “there’s no way they actually nominated that goof, and expect to win…” … Continue reading

Shocked. Shocked, I am…
No, really. Did I call the current administration a “raging dumpster fire” last time around? It seems, over the last week, to have gotten even worse. Incredibly, horribly, worse. Unbelievably so. Apparently, “rock bottom” has a basement. So the administration … Continue reading

Almost There
At least, in the Northern Hemisphere. “Almost where?” Well, really, pick your place. (“Hell in a handbasket?” Why, yes…) Fall is also almost here, with all that entails–we had our first delivery of firewood this week, which means that 1) … Continue reading →
