IRL I grew up in South Carolina, lived in the DC area until I retired to the Maryland mountains after years as a government employee, historic reenactor and childbirth teacher.

ISL I am part of the 1929 Berlin Project where I play several characters.
What exactly is light?
Animal? Vegetable? Mineral? Gas? Liquid? Solid?

Listening to "The Parable of the Sower" by Octavia Butler, 1993.

Disturbingly prescient.

Maybe I should rewatch "V For Vendetta."

I don't believe in The Rapture, but if you sincerely believe that you are on the list I am certain that your pride will ensure you are left behind.

Simple Goals At My Age

Upon re-evaluating my priorities -- and taking into account all the things I can not control -- I have set my new goals as:

(1). Avoiding a dowager hump
(2). Getting up from the floor no hands
(3). Keeping body, mind & soul nourished.

Benign & simplistic. I'm old.

Before you worry that gay parents will raise gay kids, remember that all the LGBTQ you know had straight parents.

I want Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crocker and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes to take the Democratic lead and shake some shit up.

You are a meditator too? I learned TM in 1973.

Painted Skin Resurrection
Forbidden Kingdom

We return to the days of "the ugly American" when our native arrogance and self-entitlement infuriate all we meet.

I was thinking about getting a Zen garden -- the kind with a rock and a little plant surrounded by white sand.

And then I looked at my cat and decided against it.

Just remember as Captain Chaos destroys our country that we are now forbidden the sin of empathy.
