Today's political slant: Father's Day

Herschel Walker, an avowed GOP "conservative" is running against incumbent Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock for a senate seat in November. If memory serves, this race is in Alabama *. Rev. Warnock has presented himself as a principled man, a good representative for the people who elected him;... Sign in to see full entry.

HEP C, and other stuff

If you don't know what Hep C is, consider yourself one lucky duck. Hepatitis is a dangerous liver disease that can stem from several causes. I believe alcohol abuse is one contributor but that may be a whole 'nother curse on humanity. Back in the late 1990's I worked at a community college in... Sign in to see full entry.

PARDON THE INTERRUPTION:

It's intermission time; waiting for Act 3 of the Presidential Fantasies, a long-running play in which a career con man struts the stage in a detached-from-reality play he has created. Act 1 was the big lie about widespread voter fraud, the claim that he actually won the election. No evidence of... Sign in to see full entry.

UPDATE ON THE BUTTINSKIES...

Got hold of my daughter after she forwarded to me a text message she received from the lawn guy. He apologized for overstepping, said he couldn't afford to lose a customer and wished her a blessed day... We talked about the situation, about her brother Rusty's over-reaction and that there was no... Sign in to see full entry.

BUTTINSKY RELATIVES!

Let's just say I'm not Miss Merry Sunshine this morning. For one thing we're having a helluva heat wave - just like most of the rest of the country - and since heat does me in and I have to stay out of it, I'm trapped with the stuff William Barr calls BS on TV, a ball of yarn or Facebook. For... Sign in to see full entry.

LET'S TRY THAT SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT...

It seems the January 6 Committee and some law enforcement agencies are leaning more and more toward establishing that former president of the USA, Donald J. Trump, was behind the conspiracy to throw out a legal election and claim victory for himself. But I've been thinking about it. It just may be... Sign in to see full entry.

CONVERSATION IN THE YARN AISLE

Nosy me: I saw a woman wearing a graphic team shirt while our shopping carts were passing in the yarn aisle. Didn't recognize the name of the team, but I thought the word "backstoppers" was probably about some fan group. There was also a number 6 that was top and center. So I asked what team she was...

DID HE OVERSTEP?

I hire this guy to mow my grass every week or so, someone recommended to me by my son Rich. A few weeks ago he asked me to come pick him up because the riding mower he'd been driving the 6 blocks to my house had broken down. A week or so later he asked for another ride, and a couple of times he was... Sign in to see full entry.

THE ESCAPE - a possible ending

As the "just desserts" net begins to close around him, Ida convinces Raglan it's time for him to seek refuge in a distant country. He goes into seclusion as the press begins to circle like vultures, knowing he's about to experience legal consequences for his crimes and misdemeanors. He dyes his... Sign in to see full entry.

PLOT HINGE - a peek into the writing process

In any story there's a turning point, a hinge in the plot where the heroine takes a new direction. It's usually something that comes as a total surprise to the reader, and it may even create discomfort. "That couldn't happen," comes to mind. In order for the author to keep the reader turning pages,... Sign in to see full entry.
