Me Singing Piano Man
Desiree has gotten me to try karaoke. Actually, I decided to sing to encourage her daughter to give karaoke a try. I wound up finding it fun. So, I am giving it a try.
Voting Feels Empty Now
I wrote a similar post prior to the 2020 election describing how disappointed I have become with American politics. I just finished my ballot for this year’s election, and filling it out left me feeling more disconnected than I felt from politics in 2020.

It some ways, it’s hard to believe, but my beloved died six months ago today. Sometimes, it feels like he has been gone a few days. Other times, it feels like he has been gone for years.

I’m Trying to Quit Caffeine
For the last several months I have been having issues with my throat. I have needed to clear it too often. I have been coughing too much. I was thinking those symptoms resulted from my acid reflux problems. But last Saturday night I decided it was time to research my symptoms. I didn’t want to… Continue reading I’m Trying to Quit Caffeine
