When You Get Sick
Okay, a relatively quick one this week, because I’m out of town. (Not unexpectedly, but… well, it sort of snuck up on me.) This will be a little train-of-thought-ish, and springs from an idea I read about a couple of … Continue reading
More Boots…
Well, re-boots. We’ll continue the thread of the last post in a second, but first… Well, yep, it’s a full-blown Constitutional Crisis, at this point, much more than it has been at any other point. The White House is now … Continue reading

Now We’re Cooking
We’re cooking, alright–in multiple senses. The thermometer locally has toyed with the notion of one hundred degrees Fahrenheit, the last couple of days. Cooking, indeed. But of more relevance is the topic of cooking food, and cooking it outside. That’s … Continue reading
