Oops!

Earlier I posted that DJT had started a war and headed to Mar-a-Lago for a golf weekend. I was mistaken. It seems his advisers had set up a war room there so he could monitor what was happening in Iran, and VP Vance was doing likewise in Washington, D.C. I am still opposed to the war, still critical...

Oops!

Fell asleep and missed the speech. I'm surprised - at his age - DJT didn't set the time for his speech at an earlier hour. Maybe he took a nap, so he'd be all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for his 'really big show.' I did stay alert long enough to catch a few words: 'beautiful,' 'wonderful,' and...

How to Listen to the State of The Union Speech:

I expect a the long and winding presidential speech this evening that's to be broadcast on all the news channels and networks. It could be a mud-sling of epic proportions. I also expect political fireworks as some congress members say they plan to bring anti-ICE protesters and Epstein victims to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Charlie and Dora

It may seem their lives were ruined by that falling tree; Charlie disabled for life and Dora trapped in a caregiver's role. No doubt they planned to have a couple of kids, take some nice vacations, enjoy family reunions and live happily ever after. When a bride and groom say "I do," the thought of...

Charlie and Dora

Song lyrics: "Roses love sunshine, violets love dew. Angels in heaven know I love you. Know I love you dear, know I love you, Angels in heaven, know I love you." What brought it to mind was a memory of our neighbors across the street when we lived in Salkum - a village in the foothills of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Family Feud Auditions

Don't know if you've noticed the website posted at the bottom of the Family Feud broadcasts. I've looked at it without seeing it a few times, and then yesterday it caught my eye: Family Feud Auditions. It's how to apply to be on the program. Among the requirements, you need 5 family...

Don't mention it...

Trying to avoid politics in general and anything the Donald does in particular. In addition to threatening war with Iran, he's thinking of de-classifying government files on UFO research. What next? Will he re-name Area 51 the Donald J. Trump Interstellar Center? Sign in to see full entry.

Books from the early years

When we were kids - before TV came to the remote Cascade foothills where we lived, we had books. One I remember in particular was the nursery rhyme and poetry collection with a big drawing of Old Mother Goose in a peaked hat, riding a large white goose on the cover. All kinds of nursery rhymes,... Sign in to see full entry.
