Yesterday during a conversation with a friend, we got to talking a little bit of politics. While talking, she said something that hit me hard for a couple of reasons. She said, paraphrasing, in talking to another woman the day before how odd it felt that they would go to bed with reproductive rights and… Continue reading Here Yesterday, Gone Today
Lasagna Time
Papa Joe is an excellent cook! I don’t think I’ve ever had anything he has made I didn’t like. He has been a great teacher as well. Some day I hope to feel as confident as he does in just grabbing some things and whipping it up into a treat of a meal. When we… Continue reading Lasagna Time
Deep Into Data
I have a major data analysis project due by Thursday. Trying to figure out best way to present the data, which takes lots of time. Wish me luck as I sort through the many data fields.
End Times?
To get the ingredients for my birthday dessert (yes, we are celebrating a little later than usual due to a Gala Event we attended on my birthday), I had to make a grocery run this evening. In some ways as I walked around Kroger, it reminded me of the run on supplies during the height… Continue reading End Times?
Double Oven Kind of Evening
We are having a strategic planning meeting tomorrow at work. At the last one there were some candies and mints for us. I have to admit I had hoped there would be a donut or muffin waiting for us. I know it was wishful thinking; I will say though I always try to have a… Continue reading Double Oven Kind of Evening
Breaking Point or Tipping Point
Is there a difference between a breaking point and a tipping point? Does one lead to other? Does one cause the other? What brings one to a breaking point? The loss of a loved one. The loss of a job. Any loss? Lack of perceived support at work? Feeling voiceless and unheard by a supervisor… Continue reading Breaking Point or Tipping Point
Still Roaming Free!
Another week and Trump is still free! I just don’t get it. It’s so frustrating and so mysterious. Why is this allowed to be? More evidence was released this week due to court challenges and decisions. More Republicans (mainly those attempting to scrub their past), are condemning the taking of the classified documents. Court case… Continue reading Still Roaming Free!
They Just Keep A Comin’
Having a vegetable garden in the back yard is a great thing. Not only is it fun, it can provide some very good fresh from the vine produce. The trick is planning and planting. Planning the layout of the garden, and then planting the seeds to maximize the growing season. I do plan and try… Continue reading They Just Keep A Comin’
A New Project
It was an evening of good food, good company, and good planning. My dear friend Rob and I were having a parle to discuss a project we are working on at the moment. We were brainstorming a podcast we want to produce and record. We started talking about recording a podcast together several months ago.… Continue reading A New Project
Arrest Him Already
Every day we hear more and more about the documents Trump absconded from the White House. From the mundane to SCI documents, he had them in his possession. Documents that should have been placed in the National Archives. Every day I feel less confident about our legal system. We have a man who has eluded… Continue reading Arrest Him Already
