Do you have someone on the opposite side of the political divide whom you honestly like?I mean, someone whose politics are the ONLY thing you don’t like about them. I have a few, some in my own family. I’m often tempted to say, “Let’s not talk about politics. I want to keep on liking you.” Or maybe, “I love you, but you’re wrong...See More »
I Miss My MotherLately I’ve been feeling pretty bad, and I didn’t even realize why until today. The holidays are coming soon. When my mother died, that pretty well blew our family apart. I wish I could identify my feelings and understand where they’re coming from...See More »

I Have AnxietySW seems to be full of interpersonal drama today. But all I can seem to focus on is my own internal stuff - feelings of anxiety and sadness. I’m not having a great day today. I hope it gets better. Edited to add: A bad day now is STILL better than t...See More »
I Am Listening To This Song Right Now Tears For Fears was good - until “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.”
I Wtk Your Song Of The Day This song has a good video (costumes and scenery). And the lyrics are still appropriate now.
I Want To Tell You What I'M Doing TodayListening to the “Bladerunner” soundtrack on my headphones at work, and trying to learn Dreamweaver from a book.
