You're in an abusive relationship and we are here to help

-

Had to take the hoodie off - a little too hot with it, a little too chilly without.

I really need to get to cleaning out this bed...


It is crazy overgrown and no matter how much I neglect the cilantro, it just keeps coming back.  It's like a Trump supporter, no matter how many times he makes it clear he doesn't care about them or ignores them, they just keep coming back.  Seriously, if you all tell me you didn't care about Epstein, you're full of it.  Hell, this whole trafficking/pedophile thing is all you talk about!  I thought the was going to release all of that, end the war in Ukraine, make egg prices come down, stop all aggression in the mid-east... I think you get my point.  

Begin rant...

I need to tell you all something...  You're in an abusive relationship and your partner lies, deceives, and manipulates you.  You need to get out of it.  You know who you are and you know I am right.  You can hate certain social items, you can dislike (hate) certain peoples, you can despise people in another political party (this is stupid, but you all do it), but that abusive individual that lies to you and controls what you think and say - He cares nothing about you or these little wedge issues they use to control you.

End rant...

So, yes, I only have one sunflower thus far (I got started late).  This means that you will probably see a lot of that one flower.  


Some of the non-flowering plants feel I am ignoring them, so here are some random shots from the mini-gardens that may include a non-flowering plant :) 






For now, I'm good (MMGA),

No more social media

Gotta love the phone reflection in my glasses   I have decided to call it day when it comes to social media.  At first, back when I joined FB and Twitter (at their infancies), I thought that the concept was a good idea – I am not so sure anymore.  Maybe at its core the idea of social media works, but with the amount of advertising and forced visibility algorithms, I've just had enough.  Ultimately, it was a time waster and time is a luxury (we just don't always realize it).  Even after several weeks, I find myself almost instinctively typing the URL for Facebook or Twitter in my browser the minute I open it.       So what am I going to do instead?  Learn some things I have been avoiding (you are never too old to learn new things!). Probably use this blog to post my stream of consciousness stuff.  Honestly, I do these things because my brain won't shut up.  It doesn't matter where I write it, I just have to type it out so my hea...

A break from the nostalgia

I am going to take a quick break from the search for past greatness and just write about the now.  We are in the city (again).  I wish we had more time to explore and enjoy, but that isn't why we are here.  To say that this isn't great, would be true, but not totally.  I'm in a good room, actually more of a condo, nice veranda, and lots of ads on the TV for Leon Ellis's restaurant  Chocolat  (if you live around the city and watch cable you must have seen this commercial – it is on all the time!) and ultimately, I am with my wife which makes everything great.   We have come to NYC a lot in the last 3 years and outside of Saint Patrick's Cathedral we haven't done a lot of sightseeing.  You may think that all that is going on in my life that I look backwards all the time, thinking about "better times", but that isn't true.  To say the last 3 years have been hard would be a massive understatement, but many things have happened that I wouldn't wan...

There are some things you can't use your teeth for

Once again, this picture has nothing to do with this post "Uptown got it's hustlers   The bowery got it's bums"       - Jim Croce, You Don't Mess Around With Jim, 1972     As I was thinking about my life and my search for my past "greatness", I was torn with where to start.  Many times we talk about what we remember from our youth and I wonder sometimes if I remember something because there was a picture or it was something the family talked about.  I will be honest, my early years are a blur at times.     I was trying to think back to my earliest memory, but it truly is difficult.  I do think I remember an incident that left me with two scars just on the inside of my bottom lip.  One Christmas when I was extremely young (maybe 5), I remember trying to unplug the Christmas tree from the extension cord.  Being the kid I was, I put the cord in my mouth and pulled.  The prongs hit my lip while still making contact inside...
