Doing a whole bunch of illegal things to expand executive power with a pliant legislature fawning as he breaks the law is what authoritarianism looks like. This is how it starts.

I know. They just left me alone with my baby for hours at a time and expected me to know what to do with him. He's 18 now.

Word of the Day is β€˜uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish β€˜loch']:

Old English for β€˜the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

In 1977, Vincent Price starred in a one-man-show where he played openly gay Oscar Wilde; it was condemned by Anita Bryant. When asked about her condemnation, Price replied that Wilde had already written a play about Anita: β€œA Woman of No Importance”

"Smoking Cigarettes and Drinking Coffee" is one of my absolute favorites by Otis Redding. I was never much of the smoker, but appreciated the sense of community that it created.

I just want to light up a clove cigarette and feel cool, like the 20s Gen-Xer that I was.

I just started reading up on the 1918 epidemic due to a short story that I was writing in the December before the COVID outbreak. And I was like WOW, I never heard of this!!

Our 15-year-old dog died when we were traveling. He was with his favorite person surrounded by loving family, but we were not there. My son keeps waiting to hear the clicky-clacky as he walks along the hardwood floor. I could have sworn that I heard him whining from outside to be let in. #puppy,#dog
