Nothing cohesive today. I’ve been thinking about all kinds of things as I watch spring heat up into summer. I’d like to share…
Some Thoughts:
- Watched Jordan Klepper’s Trump episode on the daily Show today. Absolutely terrifying how people can openly support a double standard so long as it protects their sense of us v. them and gives them a righteous leg to stand on. More terrifying than that is the amount of power that Tucker Carlson wields from behind that bowtie. People truly believe that man and his statements on air. They don’t stop to reflect that this is not news. This is opinion. He is a person spouting white supremacist propaganda under a nicer name and they, largely, don’t get it. Or maybe they do and like the cover he provides them to do so.
- Novel looking better. If only I could write it a lot faster.
- Spent most of the day working on the backyard which is also looking a lot better.
- I spent a small part of the day looking at the youth scores–much smaller part of the day than ever before. That situation last week killed some part of it for me. I’m looking forward to the boy’s seventh grade season and looking forward to that being the last one. We will try something else in the fall of 8th. Wrestling to be sure but who knows what other school sport he’s gonna take a shot at? This is the best time to learn–before HS starts. By 8th I will have a serious training program ready for the kid and we will go hard… Still need a Jugs machine though.
- Haven’t started thinking about the next novel. Give me a few weeks and I’ll start turning it over in my head. I have thoughts about the next step for this crew but nothing that constitutes a novel.
- Speaking of novels, the Expanse is a solid series. On book 3 and super impressed with 1 and 2. 3 lacks the kick, but that is because I don’t truly enjoy the characters in this one–not yet.
