I think it’s time we acknowledged that fascism is no longer ‘creeping.’ It is, frankly, sprinting or hurtling at unprecedented speeds, if not, in fact, already here.

Anyhow the best time to address the shit was yesterday, the 2nd best time is today. Demand everyone asking for your vote to support packing the court, stop giving your resources to the police, demand public housing, healthcare, childcare, education, transit, food support and a right to privacy.

I think our country sinks beneath the yoke: It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash Is added to her wounds.

Having spent last week in Vancouver, BC, and enjoying their hospitality, including Tim Horton’s, poutine, public transit, and natural settings, I want to wish Canada the best #CanadaDay ever. 🇨🇦

(Particularly in light of my own country on the bleeding edge of destroying itself.)

Not that I don’t agree, but consider the cost (and subsequent eternal traffic delays) of burying the lines? This would be an endless project with costs certainly passed on to the consumer. An alternative: require all new construction and neighborhood rehab to install below ground utilities.

This doesn’t happen in Kentucky, or at least I’ve never seen it. Thanks for a new experience Vancouver!

The face of a parent who sat in the rain for four hours so that the water child (you know the one) could play on the beach. It was not sunny, it was not warm. Did that stop him? It did not.

For those of you following along on my flight saga, I did, in fact, make it to Vancouver last night. Some the worse for wear as rough air made for some antagonizing moments on my Xanax, but I’m here and I had a decent night’s sleep.

Two flights down. Lots of bumps, but nothing too terrible. Boarding soon for the last flight and then I can just pass out for a few. I’m starving, but I’m afraid I’ll see whatever I might eat later on the flight.

One flight down on the way to #Vancouver, two more to go. It wasn’t the smoothest descent, but I lived through it. This is the price I pay for wanting to see the world. I guess it’s worth it.

I’m flying tomorrow and I’m already panicking about it. Not full-on knee-crumbling panic, but existential dread Sunday-scary type panic. And I’m hoping the Xanax will take the edge off because I’m flying with the kids and while they’re old enough to handle themselves, I’d still like to be the adult.

LoL, well, um, yeah…he didn’t really explain that part. I think you focus on your accomplishments, trustworthiness, reliability, and your value to the organization. Odds are they already have your evaluation in mind, they just want to know how you see it, and if they missed anything.

Whilst I’m guilty of this as well, I give you this advice I received from a college mentor: ‘Don’t run yourself down. There are plenty of people in the world that will do that for you. You alone know your capabilities and how well you can do what you do. Tell that to those who think otherwise!’

I was #CYBERSTRUCK while out on my run today and it is, in fact, as hideous as rumored. It looked like a dishwasher on wheels, or a stainless steel dumpster going down Bardstown Road.

Frankly, socks should be uniform for everyone on the team. Hence the term ‘uniform.’ But high socks were a highlight of my little league years. Particularly the ones with stirrups. Bring it ALL back, IMO.

So, decades ago, my friend and I were in charge of the flagpole at church; an American flag and a Christian flag. One Sunday, a WWII vet came storming in to ask what the distress was. We had, by accident, put the American flag up upside down. We promptly fixed it per his demand. It’s that simple.
