To prepare for the next generation, Iowa must adopt a broader lens—one that helps leaders understand where the state is headed, not only where the budget is today.

I used to golf badly. One ladies night in June, I showed up with an “I voted” (primary) sticker. A small town country club bitch told me she never voted in her life, happy that her Mr. Man took care of things. It took a lot not to punch her stupid face.

My daughter has an aversion to anything with Kevin Bacon in it. It used to bother me until I started an ick list of actors that I would rather avoid than simply enjoy the movie. It has turned into a long list.

A while ago, someone slid into my DMs, aggressively dissing the orange blob. I was reticent since I didn’t know this person bot and then whoosh, he or it was gone.

I’m on my second BAD MOOD day this week. Some people may dispute that, saying my mood is constantly simmering towards total eruption, but I have human moments. I ordered a pizza and met the delivery guy half way because it is snowing

What’s the point of having a department of war if you’re not planning on war? Let’s all kiss the bone spurs on the feet of the demented draft dodger who may lead us there!

Oil tanker pirating has me stress eating potato chips, ripping the bag apart to lick salt, grease and crumbs. WTF? NATO, if you’re listening, please intervene. SOS.

A warm & fuzzy commercial about feeding the homeless is followed by a commercial for an injectable fat reduction drug. Make this make sense.

I was listening to a talking head podcast and Admiral Halsey was mentioned. It sent me straight to butter pie. From politics to The Beatles in one fell swoop.

There was a car rodeo today. I froze my gloved fingers cleaning off my car and moving it. Tomorrow’s forecast is 38 degrees and rain. Just what every midwesterner wants in December. Wet snow turning to ice.

Some tv commercials are in Spanish. I’m horrified that……

I made some chicken noodle soup today and sent half to a neighbor who helped me out the other day. Tonight the son brought back the clean container and asked for the recipe. I’m a dump cook, no measuring. So the mom will receive a 2 page treatise

Six below wind chill yet neighbors are having a yap yap session outside my apartment. Stick your tongues on flag poles and leave me alone. Cold weather exacerbates the curmudgeon in me.

I got a nice check from my old phone co-op. Because it was nice, I fear it is the last one. It intensified my disgust for my land inheriting ex who demanded half of the dividends in the divorce.

Car rodeo today at 1. No admission charge. In fact I will pay you cash money to warm up my car, scrape it off, move it and move it back when the lot is clear.

I put a movie on this morning but it turns out it was a series so guess what I have been doing all day long. Hint: nothing constructive.
