Before the Super Bowl game I didn’t know Green Day. But their music was OK. I was waiting for Bad Bunny during the halftime show. But, I really enjoyed the football game as well. I was rooting for the Seahawks and defensively they were spectacular. I was also surprised at the media reports today aboutContinue reading “Super Bowl LX halftime”

Political anger
Sometimes I wonder how low our current President can go. Well, the other day he descended lower than I thought even could go. He “claims” that he didn’t know that this was at the end of the video that he posted. I realize that a minute is beyong his normal attention span, but really? IContinue reading “Political anger”
Book Review Revisited
The other day I wrote about reading Robot Dreams by Isaac Asimov. But never commented on any of the writings that were in it. So here goes. There were 21 short stories covering a variety of subjects. Some themes tied together many of the stories. For instance besides robots, there was multivac, a mega-computer. ThenContinue reading “Book Review Revisited”
Heading north into winter
On our way to Petosky we needed to stop for lunch. Since our favorite lunch stop, Wholesome Dine or Dash in Waters was closed we decided to go to our second most favorite lunch spot – Alpine Tavern and Eatery in Gaylord. I had the beef barley soup and a salad which was quite nice.Continue reading “Heading north into winter”
A book review
I’m trying to spend more time reading and writing this year. So far this year I’ve finished two books and am most of the way through a third. So far I started with fantasy, then a memoir and now science fiction. The book that I am currently reading a book by Isaac Asimov. This particularContinue reading “A book review”
Love hurts
If love hurts you’re doing it wrong. Unless of course you’re a preying mantis. Yhis is a tee-shirt that I recently saw and thought about. But as a male I thought better. Now on to The Kennedy Center. Supposedly it’s closing for the next two years to do work. Hah, a lack of support andContinue reading “Love hurts”
Some Sunday humor
The Wizard of ID was clearly a political statement today as all of the words were blacked out. Hmm, what could this be in reference to? No words, no explanation, just something to think about. Yesterday Susan went to the anti-ICE protest at Jackson and Maple, about two miles from our house. Her “de-ice ICE”Continue reading “Some Sunday humor”
A long interesting day
Yesterday started out normally with taking our car to Toyota for routine maintenance and the inspection of break pads. We got there at 8 am and were told most stuff should be done by noon. So we headed out for breakfast. Occasionally, we drive to Uptown Coney Island for breakfast but yesterday we walked fromContinue reading “A long interesting day”
Regaining my sanity
Sometimes it takes a long walk to go shopping then stopping at a favorite bakery for a pastry and coffee while listening to the person working there talk about their hard days commuting in the ice and snow to help with your sanity. Yesterday we took the long walk to Knight’s Market, mostly to getContinue reading “Regaining my sanity”
Be careful – there’s ice out there.
Yeah, not the kind of ice I was thinking of, and worse than natural ice. And this ice is deadlier than natural ice. George Orwell warned us, but tooo many ignored him. The latest ICE murder in Minnesota. Two murders is too many and demands accountability. More when I am in a more positive mood.
