I'm a first born and I never had a big brother.  I suppose that's good and bad.  In any case, I have negotiated and survived the ups and downs of life fairly well. Little did I know that for quite a while I have had a Big Brother tagging along and watching over me! Since who knows when, I have noticed unsolicited messages pop up on my iPhone screen, eg, "9 minutes to (my address)" or "15 minutes to the West End Cafe", where I intended to go.
It's time for another T-Shirt Blog..... Have you considered discarding that old T shirt? Here’s something to think about.
Seems inappropriate to write about anything other than this GREAT AMERICAN process. 2020 is proving to be an unexpected, historical year. We, as a country, as a people, and as a society, have been through what I describe, as SERIOUS turbulence.
I know that Corey blogged about this topic on Sunday – but I just cannot think of anything else to blog about today that makes any sense and would not seem completely superfluous. I suppose you can consider this a theme.
This past Saturday Mitch posted about Halloween. He had mentioned that he had not yet bought candy. Given the current circumstances, I can understand why he waited. As a candy lover, however, I always am very well stocked several weeks before Halloween. This year was no exception.  
Since Gotham allowed me to regularly blog in this space I used this Sunday before Election Day to urge folks to exercise their right to vote.  It remains something I feel very strongly about.  The first professional remarks I ever drafted involved such participation in our electoral process.
It's Halloween today and I don't have any candy. I'll need to run to the store to get some but I'm wondering...   Do I need to wipe down every piece? Will they take the candy if I put it out? Will there even be trick or treaters this year?   I never had so many questions about Halloween.
As a follow up to my recent Recurring Dreams blog, last week I had a brand new dream.I was running hard in a road race and I was on pace for a good time when I turned a corner and saw a long train (pictured) approaching an intersection at breakneck speed.
