It’s A Slog
Journal
Wellbeing, Life, Memory Loss, Writing, Change

I lost my train of thought. “The tuna salad’s ready,” my sister Amy called from the kitchen, so I meandered off and left it somewhere back there. I was gonna bring us to this area, anyway, eventually, to my driftiness and frequent absent-mindedness and- It’s here where I have trouble. That other stuff? It’s part of the progression of time and- Yeah. Lapses of memory have been with me for years.

Young people love them some debate, these days, it seems, but they’re so enamored with the arguing that they forget the argument.

One should always know who and what they support and, if one does, be accountable for that support.

Our Red Fort experience was amazing, and our consensus was that this new location beats out the Meridian location in aesthetics, comfort, as well as dining – not to mention that it is closer.

The Curse Of Polarization
Commentary
Sociopolitics, Polarization, Opinion, Philosophy

Maybe one of the worst facets of polarization, to me, is how it causes me to go over this shit in my head, rifling through it like I’m hunting for the cure for cancer. When all one needs to do is shut the fuck up, shut off the mind, and listen. Start out by listening. Then look about, take in what you see. Objectively on both accounts. That’s how you reset yourself from having fallen into this kind of hole.

The Return Of Tallow
Commentary
McDonald's, Fast Food, Apple Pie, Beef Tallow, Health Consciousness, Mistakes, Dining

I will never not shake my head at McDonald’s decision to give up both deep-frying anything they had to deep fry in beef tallow, nor at the one to not fry the pies in anything but, rather, bake the fuckers – both choices in some weird-ass, misguided attempt to make their fare “healthier”.

The guy may have thought he was doing me a favor but, ultimately, didn’t, as I was operating on just the one lung even then and nobody – myself included – knew.

All Things Must Pass
Journal
Reunion, Music, George Harrison, Friendship

Embitterment came when my fever dream of holding onto everyone I’ve ever cared for ended. I looked for blame, you know. It’s whomever’s fault this happened or it’s because of that, when – truly – nobody could’ve foreseen it, nobody could’ve veered away from it happening.

Reunion, Friendship

One’s schoolmates if from a small community did, afterall, accompany a fucker throughout a lengthy, formulative stretch of life and, when a reunion does roll around, it comes with a promise of their return to one’s life, if only for a day or weekend, souls once bound tightly ‘round memories and early accomplishments and perhaps they still do, though distance and time do their bit to weaken all ties that bind.

“I’m on the Instagram!”

Amy treated the two of us to a couple of dipped frozen bananas from the DIPS food truck! SO good! Brings back fond memories of being a kid in San Diego.
MORE wall decor:
Current wall decor in my bedroom/office/den. I like to think of it as a “den” as it’s set up as such. Or the finest dorm room a 58-year-old might scrape together.
Always.
Sorry for the inconvenience. 😞
Enjoying a Sunday morning cup of coffee out back among some of Amy’s lovelies!
I LOVE these!!! #manzanitasol
Benji always knows when the family is coming home from the road and gets accordingly excited!
Pear tree is budding!
Check out this sweet wooden wall sign featuring my blog’s logo, gifted to me by my kick-ass friend, @itskellyagain, aka Kelly Ellsworth! I’m LOVING it! Again, THANK YOU!!! Now, if I’d just actually start posting to the thing, I migh
