Obedience
The morning sun peeked over the pink mountains illuminating the entire valley. It was going to be another scorcher. The Yuki Valley could get that way for about six weeks out of the year, and it was eight days into it.

Are You Serious?
The Domestic Despot enlightened me yesterday to a website that actually reminds people five times a day that they are going to die. Lovely. You don’t need a website. Go look in the mirror. Beneath all the mascara, make-up, and foundation, etc. you are dying. Underneath the bleached and dyed hair, the colored nails, theContinue reading “Are You Serious?”

But the channel will not let me exit. My wishes are being held hostage until I clickContinue reading “Watching the Telly”
Paper

The education industry in which I toiled for the better part of two decades is the biggest user of paper, but IContinue reading “Paper”
The Return of the Satin Latin
I left the hospital yesterday afternoon but not before I started walking my way out because it was taking too long for someone to bring me a wheelchair. Something about reducing the hospital’s liability. Sounded to me like they were just buying time. Time that I don’t have since this was my 23rd invasive surgery.Continue reading “The Return of the Satin Latin”
