OK, I am officially “bored out of my gourd.”   A high school teacher told me that, with a brain like mine, this should never happen.   And it almost never does.   But today I am bored, bored, bored.   Or, at minimum, feeling house bound/cabin fever-ish.   I’ve taken this COVID isolation era…

In a bizarre dream I had this morning, I convinced my Trump-supporting sister to reconsider her upcoming vote.   The sad part was waking up, because I know it could never happen in reality. She is too fear-driven, and watching Fox Noise and Sean Hannity (who has said off the record that Trump is “batshit…

Am I the only casual observer who thinks Mike Pence looks like a shark?   I mean, an actual shark with soul-less, silent, intent, merciless eyes?   Watch him  any time standing behind Trump, or tonight during his debate with Kamala Harris.   You can see humanity in Dr. Fauci’s eyes, and in Joe and…

2020 Trifecta: Breasts, Belly and Bully ALL GONE!!!   The year 2020 has brought untold misery and suffering to millions of people and hundreds of thousands of families just in the USA alone, thanks to COVID-19 and to the foot-dragging incompetence of the present occupier of the executive branch of government (unless he and his…

This morning my new book came to me as I slept. (It usually happens to me in just this way!)   And to think I didn’t even know I was “pregnant” this time.   (Usually I get a stirring for weeks that something as-yet-unborn is gestating, but not this time!)   The inspiration came in…

The year 2020 sucks bricks in so many ways, it’s hard to decided which ones are worst.   Surely the pandemic, with the present POS at the helm…   Followed closely by today’s devastating news–that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died.   Mitch McConnell will do everything in his wicked power to place another far right/Trump…

I’m no longer a Christian (that is, I no longer believe Jesus is the son of God or that he rose from the dead–I’m still a huge fan of his parables and sayings, though!) so I have no dog in the fight.   But I do have a bone to pick with “Republican Jesus” and…

Good Friends Are Forever oh….my…gosh… I am in tears of gratitude as I type this. I just collected today’s mail, to discover a note from Susan Rossetti and nine of my Cle Elum High School classmates (Class of ’69), Lynda Colclasure Lien, Becky (Scott) Montgomery, Val (Chase) Barrett, Jeri B (Francisco) Porter, Susan (Thompson) Daniel,…
