My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
|
Typical fall
day. Headed out to Sam’s for some needed necessities. Mary called. She
and her family went to see Hamilton in Phoenix. She said it was great. Her
four pre-teen grandkids enjoyed it. After it started, a 30ish man in the row behind
them refused to put on his mask. The ushers had to drag him out, while he was
screaming the ‘F’ word at the top of his lungs. It made quite an impression
on the grandkids. After they got back to her son’s house, Mary, the teacher,
asked the grandkids: What was the best part of the play? They all agreed it
was the scary crazy guy who cussed a lot…Kids! The first all-Black
American team will be trying to conquer Mount Everest next year. Cool. Joy Harjo of
Oklahoma, the first Native American woman to serve as the nation’s poet
laureate, has begun her third term – an honor previously bestowed only once.
Very cool. For years I
get an email from MDV to renew my vehicle plate. I realized on the 15th
that I hadn’t gotten one. I went on line and renewed and made sure I checked
the box to get next years notice. The little tag came in the mail yesterday,
so I’m all good. Either I’m living right or I got very lucky. Congress is
busy doing very little…again. I’ve
seen this movie too many times. They will either find a solution now or the government
will shut down for a few days, then they will find a solution. I don’t like
being played. The politicians are to blame, and the media enjoys feeding the
fire of worst-case scenario. |
