A Bit of Shop Talk
Anne Lamott, from Bird by Bird “The first poem I wrote that got any attention was about John Glenn. The first stanza went, ‘Colonel John Glenn went up to heaven/in his spaceship, Friendship Seven.’ There were many, many verses…The teacher read the John Glenn poem to my second-grade class. It was a great moment; the

Year of the Rabbit, Year of the Cat
Had a nice post-meeting chat (cat in French BTW) with my fellow WUTR board members. Terri introduced me to a term: xeriscape. Tim has been improving the chi around the farm. I mentioned that I need to start working on a new book. I want to have written as many books as Ron Howard has

What happened to touting the accomplishments of the Biden Administration?

Election Update
As this is being written and posted 11/1/2022, Election Day is a week away. Where I am registered there is early voting, so I have early voted. And I want to add to my post from last week that predicted a landslide Democrat victory in the midterms. First, the Democrat landslide will be greater than
Get Ready!
As this is being written (10/19/2022) the media cacophony is about polls, specifically polls showing a Republican surge ahead of the elections in early November. A week, ten days ago, it was a Democratic surge. By the time this gets posted, there’ll probably be another surge, and maybe two more before election day. Let me
