SETTLING OUT

We had a family meeting this weekend. The second such get-together we’d had. “We” includes my daughter Robin and sons Rich and Russ. On the previous meeting, a year and a half ago, we met to do a kind of intervention with their youngest brother, whose troubled lifestyle was spilling over on the rest... Sign in to see full entry.

“PRINTER’S DEVIL”

If you Google this term you’ll find it means a young boy who serves as an apprentice in a print shop – or alternatively in some situations a misprint of some kind. But for our purpose here today, we’re talking about a co-worker of mine named Bob who ran the offset press next to mine at Adams... Sign in to see full entry.

YET ANOTHER CURTAIN CALL

A dark drama queen, Winter hovers center stage emoting like demented Shakespeare crones, she ignores the calendar’s turned page, hangs on to build ice sculptures in our bones. She grabs our hemline if we turn away, throws her darkening scarf across the sun no summer singers come outside to play they... Sign in to see full entry.

Ordering Those Affairs...

Coincidence? As Bill Maher calls it, Operation Stormy Daniels has been launched, a missile strike on the poison factories near Damascus with the cooperation of France and England. U.S. war planes responded to another atrocity in Syria. Perhaps it is wrong for analysts to conclude the Pretender chose... Sign in to see full entry.

Freedom and Justice for All...

PERCEPTION SHIFT I heard a poet talk of homelands, of immigrant findings, of America what it is what it means how it differs from what he imagined. I thought about my old belief that I was altogether American by birth, by ancestry, by association; until one day I found myself to be a world citizen -... Sign in to see full entry.

PREDATORY LOVE

There’s a certain recipe for love that’s put out by the movie makers, where boy sees girl, boy wants girl, but girl is happily on her own and doesn’t flip her hair or swish her skirt and gives him the cool shoulder. Now he can’t have that. His competitive instinct is turned on, and he is determined... Sign in to see full entry.

It might have been a guy named John Grey who was all over PBS and other networks a few years back, explaining his theory about the inner child. In fact he said we adults have three distinct psychological parts: 1) the inner child, 2) the adult, and 3) the parent. 1) is intuitive-impulsive, 2) thinks... Sign in to see full entry.

TUESDAY AT THE CENTER

I got up early – not really my idea but I was awake so what the heck. Got to The Center 20 minutes early, plenty of time to make coffee for JoAnn and the other Kitchen Angels before I took my place behind the front desk. Day’s schedule included an AARP Safe Driving class, due to start at noon, one... Sign in to see full entry.

NOT QUITE A LAWYER JOKE…

Son told me yesterday he’d heard a rumor that DJT sent a photo of his privates to Stormy Daniels and now her lawyer has to ask the court for a change of venue to small claims court. Sign in to see full entry.
