https://youtu.be/HIV_LarqTq4 Shower Thoughts: The Swiss must have been pretty confident in their victory if they included a corkscrew in their army knives. Week Seven. Let’s check-in. Do you know anyone who has been directly affected by the virus? I personally know three people. Two friends of mine lost family members; one a mother the otherContinueContinue reading “Day 51: Back to the Future”

Day 48: Love Thy Neighbor
https://youtu.be/QX8VkplcgSs “Mr. Coal operator call me anything you please, blue, green, or red, I aim to see to it that these Kentucky coal miners will not dig your coal while their little children are crying and dying for milk and bread.” — Aunt Molly Jackson, the ultimate Pistol Packin’ Mama,(1880-1960) This morning I’m thinking aboutContinueContinue reading “Day 48: Love Thy Neighbor”
Day 47: Plague and Pestilence
https://youtu.be/jMLq2hSWpq8 Shower Thoughts: Vehicles today can surf the web, link to your phone, stream music and videos, etc.. but they still can’t perform a simple database lookup to tell you what the check engine light is on for. Good morning. How ya’ doing today? Are you up with the birds like me? If so imagineContinueContinue reading “Day 47: Plague and Pestilence”
Day 45: Secret Socializing
https://youtu.be/sHuLTN49rJw Shower Thoughts: What if Earth is like one of those uncontacted tribes in South America, like the whole Galaxy knows we’re here but they’ve agreed not to contact us until we figure it out for ourselves. For the data geeks: https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/1905790/?fbclid=IwAR1hYTYHDpjAL93dclh3HZ985HDf7WZk99KPuSxFR7_xCsWu2SaPDLe4aD0 Are you experiencing Lockdown Fatigue? I am. Somehow I am exhausted. Everyday livingContinueContinue reading “Day 45: Secret Socializing”
Day 43: Negative
https://youtu.be/KgfNA19BBvg Shower Thoughts: It’s adorable we thought 2016 was a terrible year because about 40 famous people died. People are comparing 2020 to other years. Is this the worst? Maybe. On a global scale, I would have to say “YES.” The economic damage worldwide is like nothing we’ve seen. The extreme pressures on a householdContinueContinue reading “Day 43: Negative”
Day 40: Light at the End of the Tunnel
https://youtu.be/8SILLvxQRrs Shower Thoughts: No other species is watched more while pooping than dogs. Oh my goodness, day 40 has arrived! It’s been 40 days since the official declaration from our governor to Shelter in Place, March 24th. We are in the middle of our 5th week. We learned on Friday, May 1st, the lockdown willContinueContinue reading “Day 40: Light at the End of the Tunnel”
Day 38: Raw Poetry
https://youtu.be/sJ-0XV9SRZU Northwest Washington is experiencing some rain this week. Most of us are well equipped for walking in the rain, but if you can find a sunshine break to get in a mile or more of a walk it is perfect! The monthly poetry discussion group I’ve been apart of since October 2015 is meetingContinueContinue reading “Day 38: Raw Poetry”
Day 36: Writers Life
https://youtu.be/S9tWh5uwQNY Organizing my poetry folder this morning, I found a little day-in-the-life story from October 2018. It is primarily about the way fickle inspiration for a poem or a short story sometimes comes to you, and if you’re not disciplined enough, it flies away, forgotten forever. Thought I would share it today. A poetess friendContinueContinue reading “Day 36: Writers Life”
Day 35: Whats Bad for the Hive, is Bad for the Bee
https://youtu.be/LKrTGik5wsI Shower Thoughts: An “unlimited minutes per month” phone plan really only gives you 44,640 minutes per month at best. What are some changes to your daily routine since lockdown? Are there additions to your diet? Perhaps you stopped doing something or perhaps started buying some new items? I am eating more immune-building foods. AddingContinueContinue reading “Day 35: Whats Bad for the Hive, is Bad for the Bee”
Day 34: Where The Sun Don’t Shine
https://youtu.be/hw-EzQ6vE3s Shower Thought: It’s crazy that’s there’s this giant thing in the sky all the time that we’re not supposed to look at. So my friend has a great idea for a COVID-19 cure. It is a rectal suppository of sunlight, UV rays. At last, if marketed, you could buy some for your mother inContinueContinue reading “Day 34: Where The Sun Don’t Shine”
