When and While
When this pandemic is over, then … When my kids are raised, then…. When I finish, then … When I retire, then … Why do I live this way? I know better than that. I know in my head and my heart that everyone is as happy as they choose to be. Everyone makes time…
National Battery Day
So today seems like a good day to tell you the recent encounter I experienced with my parents regarding their TV remote. I usually visit them and help out once a week or so. Last week when I stopped by my mom asked in her normally sassy way if I could fix the TV. When…
When did truth die?
It switched from absolute to relative to personal before it disappeared all together. It feels to me like lying has become truth and murder respectable. I am not talking about the spin culture has put on lying to make it acceptable as in marketing, propaganda and advertising, but I could because people have learned to…
Seeing in the Dark
I will admit that I used to be afraid of the dark. I wasn’t afraid in my room under the covers with the lights out but I was often spooked in a dark hall or walking home from a babysitting job late; it was really a combination of the eerie quiet, reading too many Nancy…
DODGERS WIN!
I have been a baseball fan and a Dodger fan as long as I can remember! I know there are people who think it is too slow to watch, which is probably because they are all ADD. Like many other people I have tons of memories. I won’t bore anyone with them all now. I…
Jack
This is a silly thought I had – why are carved pumpkins called “jack-o-lanterns”? So, I looked it up with the magic of the internet. It seems that it comes from the 1500s when all those stories, fairy tales, nursery rhymes and fables were being told and nearly every little boy was named Jack! Jack…
Stupid is as stupid does
This is a relevant quote from the movie, Forrest Gump! I am not sure what happened to everyone in 2020 but it feels like we are definitely living in the era of stupid. Why are so many people adopting moronic behaviors? Why is it all so absurd? I know there have always been stupid people…
What’s Your Favorite Flavor of Life Savers?
That was my question last week to a friend while we played cards using one of my childhood decks of cards that had life savers on them. Every so often the simplest of questions can lead to the best discussions and walks down memory lane. My friend’s favorite flavor was butterscotch. Mine was choc-o-mint or…
Driving back in time
The other day I took a mini vacation with a friend. We needed to get out and do something as this pandemic seems to be never ending! So, we got in the car and drove back in time. Literally we drove to the San Fernando Valley but it really was a trip to our past.…
Baseball 2020!
What horrible luck – Spectrum finally ends the stalemate so everyone can finally watch the Dodgers and there is no baseball season! The thing about this whole covid-19 thing is that every day is like a whole new ballgame. And I started thinking right off the bat, the whole baseball lingo really describes this current season of life.Warning…
