Paralegal, writer, jewelry maker. Fat and loud. Loves cats, hates hypocrisy and wants everybody to have enough food, education and medical care. I do not read or respond to DMs.
So the mom cat I've been trying to catch because I think she is pregnant again is neither a mom nor pregnant. In fact she is a dude. I got a look today at a mighty pair of balls. Which doesn't mean he doesn't need to be fixed, but the emergency has wound down a little.

I hate the expression "If I can do it, anyone can."
Not only is it unkind, it's not true. We all have different strengths and difficulties.
I, for example, am never gonna climb Mt. Everest. It is just not in my wheelhouse.
But I make a hell of a cool beaded necklace.

Did you guys know the thermonuclear weapons we have today are an estimated 4,000 times more powerful than the bomb that hit Hiroshima? And we have an estimated 5,000 of them. Back in the 1960s we had 30,000 of them and it's not entirely clear where they all went.

So about a year ago, the Dallas Symphony performed a concert version of the ENTIRE Ring Cycle. (Think singers and musicians but no sets or costumes.)
My wife took me. It was my first opera and she took me to the Iron Man Triathlon of operas.

I'm watching Ken Burns' The Revolutionary War, and I think the repression that's happening now is almost a mirror of what started happening in the mid-1750s.

So we've moved to the permanent office space. They gave me a cube clear on the end, but unfortunately it's the end everybody walks by.
And we have bright lights again.
