The doldrums...

-


I am finally emerging from the doldrums of winter.  Every year it effects me worse than the year before.  I am so happy that things are turning green and I am able to walk outside most mornings now.  Yes, I could walk in the cold and the snow, but that is a another situation entirely.

I am always happy to see the early bulbs and I have some new plants already growing in the indoor garden in the hopes for early transplant.  Was I over-zealous and started them too early, yep...

Not much to babble on this morning and moreover, I just don't feel like it.  However, I did like the picture of the tulips.  Unfortunately, the hyacinth, which is generally the case, succumbed to the hard freeze after they tried to flower.  This actually happens nearly every spring.  The tulips are a bit hardier.

Well, for now - I'm good (MMGA)

 I am actually referring to my hair, but I also have a strange sense of humor.  It is funny how a beard and scraggly red hair with some white thrown in can make you look so much different. With the holidays quickly fading in the rear view, I am reluctant to let them go.  I am always happy how I am able to continue some tradition, let go of some, and add new.  Isn't that just the way all of life goes.  Some old, some forgotten, some new... Every holiday though I am struck with how little we have changed or how we ignored the warnings of the past.  I think about all the old Christmas specials and movies that deride commercialism, but not only did we not listen, we doubled down on commercialism.  Hell, we worship it. Today's cool thing and a bitch is all about the same item.  The NBA has provided this really cool location in Meta Horizon's called NBA Arena.  You can watch a game courtside and it is pretty darn cool (I know I said cool twice so y...

Happy New Year! Weaponized Depart of Justice

So, I made it through another year.  We say this sometimes out of jest, but seriously, I made it through another year.  Sometimes, I amaze myself. The holidays were weird as we were empty nesters for the holidays and it was different.  I continue to try and capture my youthful feelings around the holidays, but it is so hard.  Pushing out the negative BS, etc... becomes exhausting. Speaking of the negative BS - Here is a video for Jerome Powell, chairman of the Fed.  Now, before you get going on the legitimacy of the Fed, etc, this is not about the Fed, but the current drive of the executive branch to singularly control the monetary policy of the country.  And yes, no one administration or official should control the Fed (there is currently a board that is set over multiple administrations to ensure that one person or executive office cannot have full control). Why is this important?  It is important to keep executive branches from artificially manipula...

It is all about the matching kitty cat hand socks...

 This is a picture of our matching kitty cat hand socks.  Can I wrap up what makes our relationship amazing in one picture? This is it.   The cold spell in the southern tier has been brutal, like the winters from my past, and I don't like it.  I have already started some test flower seeds to determine proper seed start dates.  I have the new test garden planned out on paper and can't wait to add more orange for the monarchs.  With the days getting longer, I am getting spring itchiness a little early and I am ok with that. Where I would normally bitch about politics, I want to tell you about learning.  I do try and learn something every day, change a thought process (by obtaining truthful information that adjusts my perspective etc...), and try to keep my mind sharp (this writing is evident of that). So, it's Boston, the band not the place, fooled us all.  You may have already known this, but Boston was not a band cutting their chops in the ci...
