Retired university science and medical writer. Former journalist. Loves cats, books, and music. And I'm a reluctant follower of politics.
I will not be honoring or recognizing Presidents Day this year, because we don't have one worthy of even a tad of respect.

Any longtime friends who endorse Trump's mass pardon of convicted Jan. 6 slime balls may well become "no longer friends." Just saying. Thoughts?

I began my journalism days in a small Texas town near Houston in the 1970s. My managing editor asked me to cover a city council meeting while he was ill. The mayor of 30-plus years used the N word some 35 times. The ME killed my story about it. Wonder if this mayor would be a hero today?

Bought a birthday cake for my wife, but I’m not sure that I can fit 74 candles onto a Reese’s Big Cup.

The election numbed me. Too many Facebook friends support Trump, who aims to dismantle our politics and economics. Rightwing media warped the nation. I want to reset my mind with friends and strangers who think like me. Maybe this mess will recede in 2026. For now, it's mostly bye bye to Facebook.

A cat photo or a book photo as my first post. hmmm, it's a book, what I'm reading now. Hello, Blue Sky.
