My Copy: 9781982131739 (image from bn.com) Well, if you read Fear, then you can assume this is the continuation (and book-end) to what was brought up in that book. And you'd have a good reason to believe that, wrapping up just a few months before the 2020 Election. Rage is a very apropos title, namely … Continue reading Rage, by Bob Woodward

Q #151: Why do (most) Republicans love to say, “the Democrats are going to take your guns”?
A few hours after Biden won the election, the kid I babysit sometimes was in my yard playing with the dogs with a friend of his, and somehow just noticed the Biden sticker on the back of my car. He went "eww" and pointed at it, like he was incredulous I voted for him. I … Continue reading Q #151: Why do (most) Republicans love to say, “the Democrats are going to take your guns”?

There's something about music that reaches in, even when you haven't heard a song (or an album for that matter) in a decade. Then, when things are just right--or wrong--it grabs you out of the blue. That's what happened to me last night. And it led me down some strange avenues of thought. I was … Continue reading Wake Me Up When (November 2018) Ends…
#045–What do you do when you need a mental health day, but can’t get off work for it yet?
I think we're all in a pretty lousy place this past year. There was a meme people passed around that became my mantra on New Years Eve, 2016: "The first rule of 2017: do not talk about 2016" What sucks is this year is shaping up to be more of the same, if not worse. … Continue reading #045–What do you do when you need a mental health day, but can’t get off work for it yet?
