Don the Dunce

When falling asleep on camera in the middle of a meeting is only a minor one of many offenses, you know you're in trouble.

Our President (it took all my courage just to type that!) is always starting useless wars, insulting women reporters--calling them 'stupid' or worse--getting facts wrong and saying gas is cheap and he 'doesn't think about the financial plight of Americans.

What can be done?

We're on tract to either oligarchy or financial ruin.

Where's the 25th Amendment?

I think it should be tried....

Or else we have 2 1/2 years of chaos left....

That can't go well. 

Mother's Day

 I got Bern a flower arrangement, white chocolates and a card.

She doesn't like white chocolates--so I got them!

Got her some chocolate chocolates when I went to pick up fish and chips for dinner.

Sent emails to my daughter and my soon to be ex-daughter in law. (Don't ask, I'll explain another time.)

Not a very busy day, but I am so lucky to have met her in Latin class when I was a Senior and she was a Freshman in high school.

She hasn't 'made' my life--she 'is' my life....

Happy Mother's Day to those out there in blog land.

 

Sitting around....

No church tomorrow. I'll miss not being there. Morning Prayer by one of the laity. I hope it goes well.

When I don't have church I'm just sitting around wishing I did have it.

I've mentioned that I don't 'go to church' except when I'm celebrating Eucharist. I feel bad about that, but not bad enough to 'go to church'.

So, Sunday is like most days when I'm off.

Just sitting around. Reading David Rosenfelt's books. Playing 'hearts' on my computer. Watching a little TV.

Like I said--just 'sitting around'....

 

Rain and Shine

 Today was one of those days. Rain and then Sun and then rain with the sun shining.

Still a little cool for May--but I'm chilly in August!

No church this week. A long weekend of rest.

Got to get Bern a card and flowers for Mother's Day.

Obviously I don't have much to say--didn't sleep well, as I promised in my last post!

Hopefully tonight I'll snooze well....

It's hard to sleep at night

It is hard to sleep with DJT in the White House (minus the East Wing!)

The war, gas prices, cutting health care, hurting the poor, bragging about a Ball Room that isn't there (and shouldn't be!) and all the other stuff this crazy administration is doing.

My Dad was a life-long Republican. If he were alive today he wouldn't recognize the party he spent his votes on.

We can hope for the mid-terms even with all the rush to re-district on both sides. But there is a long way back to 'normal' in our land.

Hard to sleep at night?

You bet....

 

Catching up is hard to do

 A lot has happened since I was sure people could see my blog.

I had my gall bladder removed after 3 short stays in the hospital. But that gave me a hernia, which the surgeon tried to fix a week ago. I see him today to get his opinion. I have two burns and a massive bruise on my side. I hope he will explain how that happened!

I went to church Sunday and preached about 'the mystery of the Trinity', which is a mystery to this day. One in three and three in one--go figure.

I've done ok recovering from the surgery but am tired a lot.

I have this Sunday off.

I realized I'm still doing priest stuff at 79 (had a birthday April 17!) because otherwise I won't go to church.

Hard to admit that a priest wouldn't go to church if not celebrating.

But now it's out there and I'll keep preaching til I fall over doing it....

Be well and stay well. More later....

I've been writing...

 I've been writing my blog and noone is seeing it.

Just now I found this.

Is this it?

Can you read it?

Let me know.

Thanks, Jim
