What did I do today? Well I started my morning watching, “Taking Chance” a story about following a dead marine home after his demise in war. Then I have finished with watching Bernstein and Copland directing their own compositions. It has been a good, full day.

I hate to say it, but there is a reason why me, and my two kids carry our U.S. passports all the time. (BYW: we all have to wear SPF 10,000 when the sun shines.) I do have some activist history, and I’m not sure where I would be deported to, but the South of France seems nice (or Nice).

I took off my glasses and forgot my point. Look! Cat!

With the absolute crap storm that is happening, I raise a point of order: A nap is always in order, especially after a bottle and a diaper change. Please send the Nazi-GOP to have a nap and let the adults do some business.

I forgot. New books to me are completely garbled. After my stroke, I mostly listen to books. That works for me. Alas, I cannot help but pick up a book. I got three paragraphs into a new book (to me) before I had to put it down. The book? “The warmth of Other Suns” by Isabel Wilkerson.

By the way, GOP-Nazi: WWF is granted to the World Wide Fund for nature. GOP-Nazi: you get to use WWE. Morons!

My mother’s pastor is a complete idiot! Alas, this is my frustration and her burden.

In Reno, we have 40MPH winds this morning. They woke me up at 3:30. A nap will be in order later today. (A nap is always in order.)

Believe it or not, I actually paid attention to my high school classes. One of the many things I learned is that the U.S. doesn’t have any official language! Go ahead and speak French, Spanish, Mandarin (or anything else!). I don’t care! It is up to me to learn, not up to them.

There is nothing better than beating your down pillows into submission. Don’t try this with an orange felon supporter. Pillows have no feelings, but they will absorb all of yours.

I had a thought that I should purchase a more regal cane. That would enhance my appearance. But then I had another thought. The cane I use is my grandfather’s. I’ll just use this one and who looks at a cane? Judge me by my cane do you? No I judge myself.

The U.S. Marines: The Few. The proud. The brave. The crossing guards. The ones who each have two miles to protect while eating MRE’s. Thanks orange felon for deploying highly trained service people for a nonexistent crisis.

I spent 6 years in marching band. I am not a composer or conductor. But I would happen to be thrust into a conductor roll, I would have to do it with the wand in my left hand. (It will never happen.)

I am a retired bishop. Honestly I don’t give two sh*ts about what anyone says. If I were to stand in Bishop Budd’s pulpit, I would say something similar. I like to see the orange felon squirm.

This word is off limits unless it is specific. Bung Hole. I just opened a keg and released its pressure and took out its bung in the bung hole. I filled it with distilled water and it will sparkle in 3 weeks. Context is everything!

I just had a CAT scan. Not the one you receive at a hospital, but the home version. Fitzgig just came in and scanned me and when satisfied, just walked away.

It is difficult to fathom that my beloved died 7 years ago. G_d bless you and keep you Beth Ellen Cooper!

I have one queer child and one transgender child. As their father, I changed their poopy diapers! How could I hate them? Yesterday, from the Nevada State Museum, I bought each one of them a silver coin honoring Datsolalee! (She was the best Native American to weave baskets.)

The California fires are terrible! The Midwest and east coast snow storms are crippling. Friends, these are regional. Let us not take the eye off the ball! We have an idiot who wants Greenland, Canada, Panama, while doing a sleight of hand with Social Security and Medicare! Eyes on the ball!

I lived in that neighborhood for three years and never felt threatened. I can blame it on one thing, and one thing only. Politics. Honestly, most folk that carry, have no clue on how to properly use the weapon. Hand me a sword, and I can dissect a watermelon. Nothing more, nothing less.

I went to breakfast with 5 friends yesterday. It was a great gathering! On our way out, someone was wearing a pistol on their hip. We were right next to a major Reno casino. I wonder what that dude was afraid of? It is a safe neighborhood, safe restaurant.

I’ve had a UNIX computer live for 3+ years. I nearly never reset my Mac’s (they are all UNIX based). I have a 2006 (which has been upgraded) Mac. Well…it works fine, but gets stuck sometimes. I had to clear the memory from my iMac Pro. I also had to roll my clothes twice in my dryer.

Well done good and faithful servant President Carter. Your work is finished. May you rest in peace.

Oddly enough, I have a cat who owns me. He has a cat door and for reasons unknown, he spent nearly all night outside. Now this a*hole wants me to take pity on him. A drunk, underage teenager who didn’t drive, has to sleep off his sins. At 6:30 p.m., I hold confession and treats.

What is the old Motel 6 advert? “We’ll leave the light on for you.” Apparently, my two kids are coming from Colorado to Nevada, on the latest possibility flight. If everything goes to plan, they will land in Reno at about 2:00 a.m. who wants breakfast?

After my wife and father died, mom and I have developed a new tradition. Between the beginning of Advent and Christmas, we watch a non-Hallmark Christmas movie every evening. The last two years we watched, “Die Hard.” It takes place on Christmas Eve, but it is not a Christmas movie.

When I was young, I thought that cleaning my room was a punishment. Alas, it was a life lesson. [I hate it when my parents are correct!] today I need to run a Hoover (for my friends in the Midwest, you’ll get it) A clean, hospital clean room, will make everyone happy.

I am a Christian pastor. In light of that, a “carol” is not necessarily a song about Christmas! On a similar note, Pachelbel’s, “Canon in D major” isn’t really a canon. Now hush little baby, don’t you cry. Daddy’s going to buy you a mocking jay. If that mocking jay don’t sing, daddy…

Well damn! One of my dear friends (who is in his late 60’s) just lost his daughter due to medical complications. Many blessings on Tom and his family.

I generally don’t judge folk because that is not kind…I’m going t break my rule. I just came from Costco. In the checkout line there was a lady with two large cans of Folders coffee and a package of premade gravy. I’m sure she is a great person, but please don’t invite me for supper.
