My Day
My first day of Winter Break? A snowstorm, a sore hip, one kid calling me stupid, another saying they hate me, a doctor's appointment, and strep throat. I almost prefer Finals.

Enough!
I am not a grammar Nazi, but if one more of you write "loose" when you mean "lose," we're gonna have issues.

So my youngest was talking about who everyone has a crush on in her school... And the common crush was "Ben". She asked who the boy was who was most crushed on when I was little. I said it was a toss up between Gary Locke and Peter Chappy. She wants to know what they look like now. Any of my old classmates have the info? - Lisa

Wanna lead the caravan?.... "sure, i drive there almost everyday, have two kids at the school"....next scene.... I take a wrong turn ...lol smh

Jerusalem
I am not worried at all about the reaction of the Palestinians to the recognition of Jerusalem. Islam, the media assures us, is the Religion of Peace. Certainly those who practice it will take this moment to exhibit that fact to the world.
3 Years Gone
I didn't say anything because Lisa was having a hard enough day as it was, but yesterday marked the 3rd anniversary of her Dad's passing. RIP Dennis. You are missed.

A Sad Anniversary for my Dad
Today's the anniversary of the death of both of my Dad's Grandpa's, and his Mother (each in different years.) As a result he gets awfully anxious about his own health around this time. I offered to take him to lunch (he refused) but I called and checked up on him all the same.

Regarding John Hockenberry
NPR's John Hockenberry is accused of sexual harassment. Two issues: one, he's paralyzed from the waist down so there is no physical threat that can be associated with the charges. Not that that would excuse boorish behavior Second, from the sample that was read on the radio, the accusation stems from benign emails he sent asking a woman out on a date. Unless there's more, how is this charge be taken seriously?

Why Cokie?
Cokie Roberts, longtime ABC reporter, said it was well known among female reporters that it was dangerous for a woman to get in an elevator alone with some members of Congress (alluding to Conyers and Franken, if her comment related to the conversation.) Uh. . . You are REPORTERS. Why did you choose to suppress that story??

Grrrrr
By their own admission, our mortgage company mistakenly deleted records of our homeowner's insurance coverage, resulting in a pissy little letter that they have since apologized for sending. None-the-less I am spending part of my morning having to obtain proof of my policy so they can correct their own mistake.

Justice League
A very good movie, IMO, and bordering on great when it wasn't involved in cosmic fisticuffs. Affleck is the perfect Batman, like it or not, and thank Poseidon we finally have an Aquaman that doesn't look and act like he enjoys the spandex a little too much. Spoilers prevent me from saying more, but it looks like Zach Snyder finally got it right.

A Dream
Last night I dreamt that we took possession of my paternal grandparents' home, fully furnished. When Lisa and I toured it it was huge, a product of the dream, but the whole night I was keeping quiet about the fact that the next day was a mandatory bar exam (which I went to on a few hours sleep).
Then I was at an outdoor lumber yard and involved in something shady, and spent part of the dream in a police interview. Don't worry, I ain't no 🐀.
Then back to a dinner party at our "new" house, where I confronted my Dad's friend Jim, absent forty years, about his long silence. In the dream he claimed to be the mayor of Mequon and we discussed a predicted demise of Toys R Us.

WTH Zuck!
Facebook put an anti-Semitic sponsored ad in my feed (alleging Jews tricked us into WWI.) Get your damn act together Zuck.
I Guess It's Snowing
Yes, Facebook friends, it is, in fact snowing. Thank you for documenting it ad nauseum.
WTH
Courtney Cox and David Arquette, his producers at the time, admit to dealing with a non-consensual masturbation incident with Louis C. K. *in 2005.* Both had far more clout than he did, so tell me this: Why did they join the teeming masses of Hollywood stars content to allow predators to roam at will? Does anyone in Hollywood have a conscience??
