Have Keyboard, Will Ramble!
Multiple uses of anesthesia, along with chemotherapy, coupled with ADHD and age, have certainly taken a toll on my mental acuity. Last night a friend asked about a weekly devotional email I sent out in the waning days of the previous millennia through the early Aughts. I confessed I had done nothing towards that endeavor
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
A Day in the Life
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
A Bunch of Spoiled Children
Without getting too political, a President is tasked by the Constitution with selecting Supreme Court Justices. (See section 2.) It is the job of the Senate to “give consent” to the Justice whom the President picks. (ibid) Because of recent events surrounding the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Democrats are threatening to do purely political
Three Groups of People Who Shouldn’t Vote
There are three groups of people who should not vote. I admit that statement is controversial and do not expect universal support. However, I ask that you hear me out.

Amateur Art For a Blah Day
I am feeling the effects of this particular Monday. I have ideas for a post, but not ambition. Is it chronic health problems or something else? Regardless, the result is the same. So, here is something I drew Friday. I found inspiration in an episode of the original Star Trek series. (“Miri”) I liked Michael
Marriage Is Not a Promotion
The billboard for a local jewelry store said, “Isn’t it time you gave her a promotion?” The “promotion” appeared to be an engagement ring. I have written previously about why I am jaded when it comes to love. Even so, I prefer to think of myself as a romantic. Therefore, it bothers me when I
A Hurtful Myth About Suicidal Thoughts
There is a hurtful myth about those with suicidal thoughts I experienced firsthand. This myth is that a person depressed enough to take his or her own life will likewise be willing to take the life of someone else. Hence, not only is he or she a threat to him or herself, but a threat
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
Is “Climate Change” Now a Code for Arsonists?
Gavin Newsom says that the fires ravaging his state are the result of “climate change.” I know. I am not supposed to question that, since doing so automatically makes me a cave-dwelling troglodyte. Yet, I look at the uptick of arson arrests out in the western United States since the summer. One of these fires
