So What’s Going On?
As you’ve noted, I have not updated the blog in a while. Here is a quick explanation as to why that is the case. You may recall I had mentioned that my father had a heart catheterization. Well, that did not go as well as we had hoped. The doctors found three blocked arteries. So,
You Are a Conspiracy Theorist!
I remember the first time I heard Alex Jones. I thought, “This guy is a kook.” When Jones got into a custody battle for his children in 2017, his lawyer claimed that Jones was just a performance artist, like Jack Nicholson, in his role as The Joker. Jones was placed in a difficult situation since

I know my life is not so riveting that you would be interested in reading my diary. Frankly, today is no exception. Yet, it has been a busy day today as I prepare for my father’s heart catheterization tomorrow. I have to drive him about two hours away early in the morning. I hope I

What Makes 2020 So Terrible?
What makes 2020 so terrible? I realize you likely now think me crazy for even asking. Have I not seen all of the memes on social media about putting this year behind us? There is a global pandemic, and people have died. Why wouldn’t we want to fast forward ourselves into a future with a
