It almost happened...My sister and I were scheduled to see our Mom face to face this weekend. However, since all of the workers at the assisted living facility did not got vaccinated (which is the subject of a different kind of blog) two of them were diagnosed with COVID-19 and they had to cancel all the visitors...again. So disappointing. We con …
The definition of mailing it in is to perform a given task, duty or activity with little or no attention, effort, or interest in actually doing something, ie, doing it in a perfunctory manner. For example, a key player on the gridiron, the team star running back, “seems to be mailing it in this afternoon.” This is distinguished from a reporter e …
In a FaceTime call the other day, our four year old grandson offered that he couldn’t wait to visit us at our house - "maybe when the virus is over” ... and... “maybe even we won’t have to wear masks”. From the mouths of babes....
At 11:59 every night, my phone starts singing the quietest of sleep songs. Then at midnight, it literally shuts down into sleep mode. The ringer on the phone is silenced, emails, texts and news no longer show up on the home screen, and the phone powers back to a subtle backlight. Of course, if I want to I can get to all of the news and info be …
Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have all made changes in our business practices. One of the changes I have been forced to make is that I now do all my own billing. It is not a task I enjoy doing, but it is necessary. For me personally, imputing the billing is a tedious task and, as such, I look to avoid it. So, I had to force myself int …
On or after or sometimes before this day – always a Saturday eve, my (fraternal) lodge would hold a “sweethearts dance” and for the last couple of years it did not happen and a several couple got together on our own; this year the pandemic offered an easy excuse. Hopefully, next year will see its return. In the meantime on the first time Valentine’ …
After reading, listening, and watching the impeachment proceedings, I woke up today with this song floating around in my head from the Temptations...(forgive the editing:) Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the (preacher)And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the (teacher)Segregation, determination, demonstration, i …

Today - weather and other contingencies permitting - Flo and I will be getting our second dose of the Covid vaccine. It is slowly becoming clear to me that this will likely not be the last time we take a Covid vaccine. Just as the Covid vaccine may become a reality for years to come, I contemplate the other things that have become part of our new n …
Recently, I’ve been studying the power of raw foods and their affects on the human body. The Cure for Arthritis, by S.H. Shepherd has me sharpening my understanding of how the human body works in relationship to food, water and a healthy sun shower. Truthfully, it all started because I wanted the pain in my hip to go away, so I could gain 30 extr …
If you know me at all, you know that I am not a football fan. Sure, I enjoy the experience – mostly the food and the company. I also enjoy the commercials. This year felt as if fewer commercials grabbed me -- but there were a few. Some of my favorites: Indeed.com: Particularly given the current high rates of unemployment and so many people …
It happened again last night. I do not believe I will have to recount the details of what occurred after you read my questions. So here goes: Toilet seat, up or down? Why? And what about the cover?
On the eve on Superbowl LV, I think how different watching the game will be. It’ll likely be more of solo affair unless Shelly and I dine watching the beginning of the game (well we already ordered our meals yesterday so C’est possible at this writing). As shared on the eve of prior games, we join up with friends, sometimes in a diner in Brooklyn; …
Is someone truly great if their path includes cheating or aligning themselves with people who do? This question came up for me this morning when I was thinking about the Super Bowl and Tom Brady. He is often referred to as a G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time). His football acheivements are truly remarkable...6 Super Bowl rings and 10 appearances. No …
I start this blog without any idea as to where it’s going or how it’s going to end... All I know is that I need to know what’s going on? Thank you Marvin Gaye for your inspiration and timeless plaint! Maybe that’s all there is and it’s for you to answer! What’s going on for you?
