Great day....

A movie for you - free with ads -
… best movie I’ve seen in a long time. Of course I almost never watch movies but that doesn’t matter much. Keep your eyes open for the BMW porn. It’s a Roman Polanski movie from around 2010 - ...
New month
I meant to write yesterday. The month is my favorite unit of time. Not too long, not too short. You can do things in a month .... and then if you don’t do them, you have another month to try...

‘beamer and beater alike’ = second best phrase this morning. First was ‘rough hewn locals’. I’m beginning to feel a little like I did about Open Diary. God, we need some creativity around he...
I'm in a mood.
Not a bad one. Edgy maybe. My life feels full right now. I have things to say and I think I might be able to sit still long enough to say at least some of them. Thank you for reading ab...
Out of the house - two days in a row!
I visited my brother’s grave yesterday - first time since his ashes were buried in the Minnesota Veterans Cemetery in Preston. It’s a new cemetery and it’s beautiful. The stone work was done...
Not more sane, but in a better mood
Oh my god - not another list!!!?? Guess so. Here goes — I ate a whole Amish apple pie in the last 24 hours. Half in daylight, half in dark. It was quite tasty - made with fresh apples, I bel...
