Thoughts and Opinions as I Grow Older

Month: January 2022

Spotify and Greed

January 29, 2022 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

In case you didn’t hear, Neil Young pulled his music from Spotify this past week after he had given an ultimatum to Spotify. He essentially said it is either his music or Joe Rogan, an extreme right-wing zealot. His premise, from my perspective was since Rogan is a large spreader of lies, or what is… Continue reading Spotify and Greed

The First Thing

January 27, 2022January 27, 2022 Posted in Frank in the KitchenLeave a comment

Last week I wrote about my new mixer. I had pondered over what to make first. Well, surprisingly, it wasn’t banana bread. It ended up being blueberry muffins. I had a craving. After they went in the oven, I immediately made some zucchini bread. I had a craving. Then I made…just kidding. That was it.… Continue reading The First Thing

The Long Wait Continues

January 25, 2022January 25, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About Life1 Comment

On Thursday we were supposed to go on a small mini vacation. Our plan was to go see our grandson for his second birthday. Things had been calming down Covid-wise when we made the plans. Alas, there was the rise of Omicron. We are as careful as can be, vaccinated, boosted, masked, and very little… Continue reading The Long Wait Continues

Hyphenated Americans

January 23, 2022 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

“Well the concern is misplaced, because if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans,” stated Minority Speaker Mitch McConnell (R-KY) a few days ago. Toni Morrison has said, “In this country, American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate.” This has been a pondering… Continue reading Hyphenated Americans

Traveling this evening. Will post one day late tomorrow.

Finally, A New Mixer

January 20, 2022January 20, 2022 Posted in Frank in the KitchenLeave a comment

I have been wanting a larger mixer for the last couple of years. With all my baking and bread, I have pretty much run the one I have into the ground. It has been very good to us and provided many happy food memories. Sadly, the motor has just gotten less powerful over the past… Continue reading Finally, A New Mixer

One of Those Evenings

January 18, 2022January 18, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Cancelled musical due to weather. The actors couldn’t make into town in time. Band meeting to discuss upcoming trip. Worried school policy of masks at all times may not be strictly enforced on upcoming band trip. Rock and hard place of let our child go or not. What life lesson is taught either way. A… Continue reading One of Those Evenings

“Snap Out of It!”

January 15, 2022January 15, 2022 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

“Snap Out of It!,” followed by a slap to the face is one of the most iconic of movie lines and scenes. I often wish Cher could go around the country uttering this famous line and then “smacking” a bunch of people upside the head to, as I heard often while growing up, “to knock… Continue reading “Snap Out of It!”

Tis A New Seasoning

January 13, 2022January 13, 2022 Posted in Frank in the KitchenLeave a comment

A few months ago while visiting family in Columbus, I wanted to visit a kitchen store in the Short North. I had checked to make sure the store was still open as I wanted to buy a new whisk. My goal was to buy another whisk like the one I had purchased there a couple… Continue reading Tis A New Seasoning

Fitness Plus

January 11, 2022January 11, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

One of the things I’ve been wanting to buy to sync with my watch has been an Apple TV for the basement. The Fitness Plus app, which I had previewed, syncs with the latest Apple Watches, which makes it easier to track progress and goals. What I liked, and am growing more fond of, is… Continue reading Fitness Plus
