Kansas to Belgium with stops along the way. More likely to reply/like than skeet, since most of you say it better/funnier than I can. True blue, both politics and baseball. I confess to being earnest - I think it's important.

This is a wonderful, magical book! Perfect for those chilly evenings when you just want to cuddle up under a blanket and be transported to another world. It would also make a great Christmas gift, if you're thinking about that already! 🤎 🦊

My husband has turned into quite the art connoisseur these days. Number 28 in the Things My Husband Sends Me series.
Painting of a man standing in front of a desk showing a paper and saying 'I have a 1:30 appointment' to a woman sitting behind the desk. She says 'Which doctor?' The response: No, I want the regular doctor.

Goat cradles a small gray creature  in his arms, says to hamster “look at this puppy I found. I named him spike” hamster says “that’s a chupacabra. They drink goats’ blood.” Goat holds out his arms, the chupacabra hangs off by its teeth. Goat says “oh. So that’s why Spike’s so bitey.”

Some #poetry for your Friday. May you find some wonder. Or wonder find you.
Encounter
By Czeslaw Milosz
Translated By Czeslaw Milosz

We were riding through frozen fields in a wagon at dawn.
A red wing rose in the darkness.

And suddenly a hare ran across the road.
One of us pointed to it with his hand.

That was long ago. Today neither of them is alive,
Not the hare, nor the man who made the gesture.

O my love, where are they, where are they going
The flash of a hand, streak of movement, rustle of pebbles.
I ask not out of sorrow, but in wonder.

The hypocrisy of Zuck’s enterprise: they removed this video from their platforms quicker than the speed of light. If only they acted as speedily with removing videos about violence, abuse and extremism. The video is still available on Bsky and Ytube. Good!

Amen to that. Wise words from Rev. Benjamin Cremer. He gets it. You don't, MAGA. Donald Trump is a fraud and a child-rapist. He has nothing to do with Christianity. And neither do you, if you support him.

post on social media: Years ago my wife and I were on an early date in a Chinese restaurant when another diner came over and said to me: "Can you shut up? You've got a very loud voice." I said: 'My girlfriend has very poor hearing. Isn't that right?' And to her enormous credit she replied: "WHAT?"
