Topics Fit for Polite Conversation
Well, I’ve racked my brain, but haven’t come up with much that fits. Politics? Nope, too touchy. Christmas? Whether to mention the word in our good wishes and greetings? Some do, some don’t. Sex? Heaven forbid! Money? Really? You even have to ask? Food? Oh yeah, that’s safe. Unless you’re talking to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Polar Vortex...
Oh, I hope my Canadian and northern US friends are keeping warm. Arctic cold has come to beautiful downtown Mundane, it's 13 degrees here this morning. Lucky thing I've got packages to wrap and other things to do indoors. Went to The Center yesterday - donated a table-top Christmas tree as a bingo... Sign in to see full entry.

MISTAKE OF THE DAY: READING THE NEWS
If you want to have a good day, do NOT read the latest news about America’s politics, specifically about the president elect and all the treasonous mischief he’s involved in. If you’re a U.S. citizen it will (or should) put your bowels in an uproar. If you’ve got a U.S. friend in the working class... Sign in to see full entry.

Breakfast With My Boys
Yesterday we met at 8:30 at the diner on Main Street, our first get-together since Russ got back from Seattle. A week or so ago I wrote about his attempt to visit his youngest brother there – a wellness check. But Son #4 wouldn’t open the door, wouldn't come downstairs to talk face-to-face, and even...

SATURDAY MORNING ON NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO
They’re still broadcasting “The Best of Car Talk” on our local NPR station, 90.7 on the FM dial. I always liked the Magliozzi brothers – Tom and Ray – the jokes they told, the useful advice about cars. When Tom passed away in 2014 from complications of Alzheimer’s (see Wikipedia), Ray had been... Sign in to see full entry.

Health Checkup
If it weren’t for the scheduled doctor appointment yesterday I’d have stayed tucked into my cozy little nest, sipping coffee and watching the ever more disturbing news of the day. But the cold outside was dry, streets beneath the feet were not slick and ol’ Betsy started right up. No excuses.... Sign in to see full entry.

WTF IS UP WITH MICHAEL MOORE?
You know Mike. He’s the sh*t disturber, the anti-establishment guy in a baseball hat and baggy tee shirt who calls out the CEOs and govt. big shots for unfair labor practices, skullduggery and abuse of power. If you didn’t see his film “Roger and Me” that launched his career as the guy executives... Sign in to see full entry.

THE WAY I HEARD IT
MOSSYROCK, WA: 1954 Gary and Lorraine met during his junior year at Mossyrock High. She was a sophomore and beautiful as a budding rose. Gary was compact, maybe 5’8” and solidly muscled, a guard on the MHS varsity basketball team, and the greased-lightning receiver on the football team. He worked... Sign in to see full entry.
