These blogs are getting done later and thus are less coherent. This is happening before cheesecake is allowed, so there is a reward for clarity. But not brevity. Perhaps the hardest part of the blog is to go the full ten minutes hands to keyboard. I’ve slipped out of consciousness in the past. I’ve wrote and rewrote and repaired lines. I’ve forgotten what I wanted to say mid sentence. This, fortunately, is not the condition of the present blog. Instead I feel like I am finally catching a little bit of mental goodness after a day where I was largely laid up in bed recovering from a surprise sick.
While chilling I was able to take in a great deal of news about the McCain and Franklin services. In regards to the latter I was really shocked at the appearance of Ariana Grande. I didn’t give her the level of respect (pun noted) she deserved. Apparently Aretha did.
I don’t want to talk about Trump. He doesn’t deserve it. The less we say the better. In truth it is more important to engage in real conversations about what it is we want to do with our country and where we go from here. What’s done is done. What do we do now?
What I am doing is taking in a weekend of fun with the kids starting with football at Oh dot thirty in the AM. Okay, so it is not that early, but it is hours before my normal work day would begin. Sadly, I have been waking up between 4:40 – 4:47 for weeks now, so this early weekend game doesn’t affect my sleep at all.
Some Thoughts:
- What do you get the love of your life that honors her day of birth? I feel like I set the bar so high that I cannot get there.
