Pretty sure this is an example of situational irony.🧐

Thanks! I’ve read The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Loved it as I do all Neil Gaiman works. Will certainly read the others!

Lately it’s been a lot of fantasy, sci fi, & post apocalyptic fiction. I’ve really needed to escape to worlds where good triumphs over evil.

I just discovered the 1995 John Candy movie Canadian Bacon last night. It’s worth a watch in these times. Little did they know that their ridiculous farce could be reality.

Books have become my escape from our current reality.

I never watched this back in 1995 when it was made. Found it last night. I bet they had no clue that they were predicting the future.

My daughter summed it up well:

Lol it’s too weird how stuff that was plot for a ludicrous movie is now our life.

Watch Canadian Bacon

In my personal life yes. I retired. My time is my own now but I spend way too much time worrying about what’s gonna happen. I think I’ll be ok but so many other people won’t. I can’t let it go. It’s not about me.

You can’t escape it. It’s 2025!

It’s hard to find that kind of person in today’s world but Pete is one. And of course so is Joe.

A mastiff was added since then. She’s getting old too.

Happy New Year from landlocked North Texas in the Man Cave. There is much I wish I could rectify about 2024 that is beyond my control. But one thing that was severely lacking was beach time. I plan on fixing that. I’m gonna need it to survive the next four years.

This week I’ve only been doom scrolling & procrastinating on cleaning but last week I read For You To See The Stars by Radney Foster. A collection of short fiction born from some of his songs. I highly recommend it.

I really think that was a decoy to draw attention away from the restrictions on investments in China.

Also I taught 4th grade science. If I wanted to do hands on activities I bought the supplies. I didn’t mind though because my kids loved it & so did I.

I worked at a Title One school so we had very few haves. Our Jr League donated all the school supplies at the beginning of the year but they didn’t last all year. I spent a fortune on pencils.
