Dance Time!

In front of my old TAC (homeroom) as I wait for the girl's dance recital to start. - @ Pius XI High School

My Thoughts

Remember: When the Mainstream Media says "Here's what you need to know about xyz" what they mean is "Here's what we need you to believe about xyz".

Is this 1929 all over again?

Um, this is OUR bank. Gulp From the Journal Sentinel: 

 BREAKING: Guaranty Bank, unable to ever recover from devastating loan losses stemming from the housing and foreclosure crisis, has failed and was shut down by regulators.

YaYa's 2017 Prom!

In 2014 the Bradley Foundation compiled what's being described as a "hit list" against liberal organizations they refused to fund. 

 Good for them. Liberal foundations certainly aren't funding conservative causes. Why expect a double standard?

I haven't seen the black station wagon with all the scripture, aka "godmobile" for awhile and looked it up. Brother Ron is still going strong but apparently sticks mostly to Wisconsin avenue these days. Was it always just this one guy or were there others? Do any of my fb friends know more about this Milwaukee fixture? - Lisa

Prince Philip, the spouse of Queen Elizabeth II, will retire from royal duties this autumn.

The Soup Kitchen

LuLu helps out running a Brownie troop, and they volunteered at the local soup kitchen!

My Thoughts

Nothing in the Arts is as predictable as an artist/writer/actor calling their old work "extremely relevant in today's political/social climate" if they sense a few extra bucks in their pocket for the telling.

LuLu!

My Thoughts

My paternal Grandfather was a welder, my maternal Grandfather a lather. 

If you don't want a four year degree, there is no shame in a skilled trade. 

If you want a job that requires an education, there's no shame in a white collar trade. 

The pendulum of public opinion has swung too hard to the trades. Both roles are honorable, both are valuable, both are needed. Cut the bullsh--t propaganda to the contrary. 

I'm looking at you, Mike Rowe.

At the Gym with Smiley

A mighty fine workout with Smiley. And I brought my late father-in-laws lifting gloves.
