    I think that the person who decided that the weed parsley should be designated as the food “garnish of choice” should have been strung up by one of their more sensitive body parts, then taken down and burned at the stake as a witch. That is all.

    I wasn’t planning on posting today, but my breakfast preparations inspired me. I’m one of those people whose brains are in a constant stream of thought when I’m conscious (and even when I’m asleep, as I have vivid dreams almost every night). These streams of thought aren’t always focused on…

    A country in distress

    In one of my early posts I stated something about not wanting to focus a lot of my blogs on politics, because they can lead to arguing and divisiveness. However, in the harsh political environment these days, not only in the country I’m from (the U.S. of A.), but also…

    Sitting here listening to “the 80s on 8” (Sirius/XM, currently Christopher Cross singing “Arthur’s Theme”) while I work from home… GAWDS I miss the 1980s. Such happier times (though granted, I wouldn’t have been working from home).

    I’m jealous, yet excited.

    One of the things about having multiple interests in life is that sometimes you find yourself hopping around between those different interests, and the others get set on the back burner for a while. Lately, I have been focused on one of the hobbies that I indulged in earlier in…

    I have gone to war

    I am officially at war now. Over the past several months I have been scouted, then subsequently attacked by a queen’s soldiers invading my house in an effort to steal from me. Lately it has happened more often than in the past. Looking back, it has probably happened no less…

    Nothing to ponder here

    I’ve started watching a TV series from my childhood on DVDs that I’ve owned for several years now. The show is called “I Dream of Jeannie,” and though it started airing when I was about 2 years old, I definitely caught some of the episodes in syndication when I was…

    I often wonder if my life experience is unique, or if everyone else is just like me… in one particular aspect that is alluded to by the image I’ve chosen to accompany the post, and that I will arrive at toward the end of this post. As I have aged,…

    Sometimes it feels like I’m talking to an empty room… but I’ll keep on posting anyway. So, if there were such a thing as a “do-over” in life, is there one specific point in your life that you would like to return to, maybe 5 or 10 minutes prior, and…

    Some people have it, some people don’t. John Lennon had it (I often hear that song in my head, BTW)… but 50 years on, sadly his dream still hasn’t come to fruition. The Republican Party apparently doesn’t have it; they can’t seem to imagine a brighter future for America, instead…
