When two of you want to go on a walk, and it’s pouring, and you only have one umbrella.
Who needs an umbrella?

Look out world – 2New Driving Candidates!
Looks like we have a couple new candidates for the school of driving Inc.
Warming up the ‘Neighbor Haters’
Cobra has a sense of humor, naming these particular exhaust pipes, the “Neighbor Haters”.
I took Bob out and started warming him up for a couple hours of riding today, wish the pipes weren’t so embarrassingly quiet. 😉
Sounds of Silence
Nothing more serene than the sound of spring tree frogs.
Why do you wear socks?
COVID has broken a lot of things, not the least to mention is our view of the world.
This morning I made a comment to Braeden, that I was performing my morning mental exercise, e.g. trying to find matching sock colors in the “sock bin”.. it’s not an easy thing to do.
His response: “Why do you have to wear socks, people can’t see your feet on video chat.”
I wonder how far you could take that line of reasoning, or how far some people do take it… 🤨
City of stars, are you shining just for me?
Lying on a hammoc, listening to the pre-spring peepers..
What a lovely night.
The history of the great USA
Watched #AlexanderHamilton for a second time with Bella.
After the second time (with captions) I picked up so much more of the story. #exceptionallydone
That said, couldn’t help but being emotionally stirred thinking of the idealism and the intentionality of the founding mothers and fathers to create a better world, and how quickly corruption took over in our governing class.
There is little room in my mind to question how ashamed they would be today, seeing the qualities that began to reign around self-centered, squabbling, and petty leadership; those who are corrupt, dishonest and drunk on power – feeding off of the souls of the people they were sworn to serve.
Even in the begining, when human nature began to take over our newly formed government, there appeared to be a level of constraint based on the rawness of the recent bloodshed, and some semblance of human decency.
It seems we have come such a far distance from “by the people and for the people”, I can almost understand how Jesus felt when he wept over Jerusalem: “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace!”

Send help.. I think my marriage is in trouble!
So, I asked again what Amanda wants for Christmas, and she responds:
We’ve been married for almost 22 years, you should know what I want.
Danger, Will Robinson.
I can’t figure out what she is thinking day-to-day, and somehow I am now supposed to remember what she thought (or might have said) sometime this past year. It would have sounded something like this I’m sure: “Oh, that looks nice”.
She asks for more dogs and cats daily, but I have pointed out at every turn that either I or one of her myriad of animals will need to die first before that will happen.
I sought the advice of Amazon, and it wasn’t helpful at all. While I might not know what she DOES want, at least I know what she DOESN’T want when I see it.
I only have 119, 928,851 options to pick from.
Send good vibes, I don’t think Christmas is going to go well for me this year.
Patient log: Day 10 at the Chiropractor
This morning I was reminded of a memory from facebook. I tried to laugh, but it hurt too much, and then I threw my back out in the violent aftermath of an unexpected sneeze. I hope I didn’t wake any of the cats. Maybe I am allergic to cats; I hope not though, I like living at home.
I wonder what sebastian is having for dinner tonight.
The eye of the beholder
History is definitely tainted by the lense through which you look.
