... signifying nothing

I’ve gotta quit paying attention to politics. I’m gonna get an ulcer, or worse, pop an artery if I keep letting myself get so ticked off at all the antics of the court jesters and sycophant hand-kissers dancing to the tune of the great and glorious Oz.

WHEN DREAMS MAY COME

Thanks to a restless bladder and other sleep issues, it is rare that I snooze long enough to have a real dream, the kind of story dream I used to take for granted when I was a kid in my early seventies… But last night one came, and Woo!

Our dad was in the U.S. Navy, a gunner’s mate and at the time a Chief Petty Officer. We thought he was serving on the USS Saratoga, the military’s... Sign in to see full entry.

ONE NIGHT Conclusion...

Roscoe stood to one side as Fred entered. Wendie shut the door, bolted it shut behind him. Do you have a report, Friend? Roscoe transmitted. Yes, Sir. Mission accomplished. It will take years to reconnect, get all the alliances online again. You’ve won, Fred reported. Wendie smiled and bent to... Sign in to see full entry.
