I don’t usually buy into that business of telling people they shouldn’t be upset about whatever they’re upset about because there are other people in the world with worse problems. The way I see it, there will ALWAYS be someone in the world with worse problems than someone else in the world. That doesn’t mean [...]

Here’s my executive summary. Got no energy for the sort of picturesque essays I composed last year. Once again, my tenses are all over the place, past, present, and everything in between. I don’t know why I do this. Just remember, I know I’m doing it, and I could fix it if I wanted to, [...]
Here’s what I did today. I appear, in this post, to switch back and forth between present and past tense. I don’t know why I do this, and I don’t care. I just don’t want you to think I’m not aware of it.

How many pizza bagels should I plan to eat? Last time I had them I ate five. I’d planned for four, and then laughed at myself when they were gone, and admitted I wanted another one. By which I mean, I asked G to make me another one. Heh.

Making lists is boring. We leave, please God, for our annual road trip to good old St. Louie in approximately three weeks. I figured since all I’m really good for these days is sitting in one place, I could get a nice big jump start on the lists of things to bring (plural listS because [...]
It has not escaped our notice that yesterday and today were/are… the anniversary of R’s stroke. Of course it would be swell if it DID escape our notice, or if our notice would (could) escape IT, but that isn’t how it goes. There is no July 6 or 7 anymore; there’s just, well, you know. [...]
Want to know what never, ever stops going through my head? This:
Hope that works. If it didn’t, here’s the link, so it can go through your head as well. My son is ADDICTED to this video. Addicted. He will sit and watch, and has sat and watched, for an hour or more. Bear in mind [...]

We’re going to try to write something without swearing. Ready? It won’t be easy. If you want to know how I’m really feeling, imagine that everything you read here is laced with profanity.
Wouldn’t it be swell if my heartburn went away? Yes. That would be swell.
Of course, I’d never use such language on a public [...]
Vote in the comments section. If you want to see me swear on this blog — I mean really swear, not the usual somewhat inappropriate language I might use, but really bad words, not becoming — well, anyone, really — say so, and if enough people vote in favor, perhaps I’ll post what I wrote [...]
