I’m a widower (my wife died after her second bout). I met a fellow widow and we are happily married. My roots are in Ashland Oregon where I’ve lived 50 years. My career was in special education.

It’s okay, I’ve been to a few games there. Modern soulless a Florida metaphor. The old Orange Bowl rocked, sometimes literally. Up close and personal.

Hillary Clinton would have been by far the most prepared President we could have had. Brains and Experience.

What an insult to Americans. I’m sure he’s composing a letter to the American people right now.

I feel for you and your family. I was a special ed teacher who worked with autism spectrum middle and high school students. I can’t imagine how much harder it’s going to be to get services. Does your daughter sign? Or use a talking board (not sure of the term)? My heart goes out to you all.

Hey good luck on your journey. I dropped a bunch of weight and damn my skin sagged so bad. Do you for you.

They are wonderful dogs, I’ve had two, but they are big powerful scary looking dogs, so be prepared for people being scared.

I will root for them against the KCC team. It’s freeing to not care about either team. Just calculating the number of gummies required to get thru Brady.

Just sadness for all the people who lost homes and businesses in LA. The rain here in Ashland seems mocking in retrospect. Be strong and look out for your friends and family. My heart is heavy for you all.

That is a distressing view and horrifyingly beautiful in a doomed kind way.

It made my heart happy. I think I smell flop sweat from da bears.

This one is going to be interesting. Given the emphasis on freedumb a bunch of people may get very ill or dead. It’s obviously mutated to airborne spread.

I think I’d be a sobbing mess in that movie. My wife and I both had our spouses die. That love is always there.

I read the book and I’m curious how different the Wicked musical is. It seems like the author got bored at the halfway point. Not curious enough to watch it though.

I get you. Decisions are paralyzing for me as well. It’s a hard one. Please write some fiction or just write.

So beautiful. I spent an afternoon in the basement of the Vangogh Museum in 1975 going thru his collection of Japanese Woodblocks.

There’s that and I’d go back to Gore v Bush and the whole media laid down. Not count all the votes? That’s ok says the Supremes.

I finally realized that after being a lifelong democrat the party died at Bill Clinton’s inauguration, he was republican lite and the party only exists for itself. I always get my hopes up get burned. I will save a bunch of money not contributing to the Dems. Sad to not have a party.

As a cannabis user (medical for migraines) I would never smoke where someone else is, who wasn’t with me. It’s just courtesy. It will take time for the culture to adapt. I’m in Oregon and there doesn’t seem to be a problem.
