What is one to do when the world is on fire and you need to console yourself? The answer for me just popped into my head out of nowhere - to listen to Carlos Vives on Spotify.

Current situation: dancing while working in my office.

My desire to be well informed and NOT be silent is at odds with my desire to “remain” sane.

Ha! Good question. I’m mostly interested in progressive news, politics and current affairs.

So far I’m loving my free Substack reads but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by so many good authors. I just subscribed to pay for “No Lies Detected.”

Who else should I subscribe to and pay?

Teflon. Teflon. Teflon.

Hmm, why is that word stuck in my head? Does it have to do with something that happened in the news today? 🤔

BRB. Going to throw out some pans in my kitchen.

A fellow shipmate of mine from the Navy said I’m just as qualified as the current nominee for secretary of defense.

He’s not wrong.

I was reminded this morning that my mostly unpacked suitcase was still on the bedroom floor two weeks after my return from canvassing in Phoenix on #GOTV weekend.

I didn’t even notice.

Why yes, I have been up since 2 am-ish.

Today. And every day. Every night. Whatever.

Will it always be like this?

Ahh, it's like a breath of fresh air up in here.

What a relief not to be bombarded by unrelenting tweets from the owner (and propagandist) of a particular social media platform whom I didn't even follow.

It was so oppressive in there - ugh! Happy to be here...
