LAUNDRY
I’m having a really tough time right now. It’s my day off and laundry is on my list of things to do. Yet when i went out to put in a load in the washing machine I found someone else’s clothes sitting in there. Wet having gone through a cycle. Yeah. I live in a apartment complex. Community washer and dryer. Don’t like it. I used to live in a place that had it’s own right in the apartment. Talk… Read More

SOUND ADVICE
There’s a Far Side cartoon by Gary Larson that’s a personal favorite. It’s a two-panel piece with one side showing a dog owner scolding his dog and the other showing what the dog hears.

A LIFE WELL LIVED
I don’t know if it’s my age, or just matters of circumstance, but I have been faced with what feels like more than the average number of deaths this last year. Close friends, not so close acquaintances, strangers who felt like I knew them, plus the disintegrating health of many older people in my immediate circle. Death and taxes, the only two things we can count on, the old saying goes. And indeed it is true. When I think about… Read More
