Here’s Hoping You Have a Beautiful Thanksgiving 2025.


So this afternoon, HR (Husband Robert, to the uninitiated), Ex-wife Donna and I went to see the current top-grossing film in the nation, Wicked: For Good.

We got our popcorn and headed for Auditorium One, when we decided we REALLY needed photo documentation (well, perhaps I alone decided that, but HR and Donna went along).


In a weird way, just the three of us out together on a movie date is … Defying Gravity.

“It’s time to try defying gravity
I think I’ll try defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down”

I Have Been.




As HR and I approach our anniversary next month, here are a few photos from our 2016 wedding.





I love this short two-minute You Tube video from yesteryear’s Designing Women, as Julia, running for political office in the episode, passionately expresses her beliefs (and mine) on the subject of … well, just take a listen.
Taking the trash out into the alley behind our place, I ran into this …


“Uh oh,” I thought, “there’s a story here somewhere.”
A discarded (before Halloween!) strange-looking jack-o’-lantern hunkering down at the feet of a thoroughly smashed mirror.

I moved closer, snapping a few photos (I’m not sure why).
“How very sad,” I cringed, “and somebody’s in for some bad luck!”
“You obviously know not of that which you speak,” a crystal clear voice came from the shards.




I walked away, educated.

Trump and his entourage responded with mockery to weekend “No Kings” protests by millions of Americans — embracing the narrative in a way that explains his growing hubris and belief that he has unchecked power. cnn
The president and Vice President JD Vance this weekend both posted AI memes to social media depicting Trump in a crown. The one Trump shared was a mocked-up vision of the president flying a fighter jet emblazoned with “KING TRUMP appearing to dump raw sewage on protesters. cnn
This Horrific Embarrassment is a President of the United States?

A blog category about finding “interesting decor” in various bathrooms I’ve come across.
So yesterday, Robert and I drove over to Bluffton, South Carolina to attend my daughter Amy’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for expansion of her Savannah- based medical company, Coastal Care Partners.
Afterwards, we had lunch at our VERY favorite fried chicken restaurant on the planet, Cahill’s Market and Chicken Kitchen. (I love its name.)

Cahill’s is a working farm.



At my age, I always pay careful attention to the whereabouts of the nearest restroom.
Restroom? Do you really rest in a restroom?
And here are a few other synonyms for restroom …

Bog?! Jakes?!
Anyway, before leaving Cahill’s and driving back to Savannah, of course I had to visit the, the … garderobe.
And look what I Halloween-y found!



I left the, the … watercloset, relieved and in a bit more of the upcoming holiday spirit.


I simply don’t understand our federal government’s Administration of Hatred.

WHY would these people take something born out of LOVE, the gay flag, and “recreate it” as … terrorism?
It makes NO sense.
Except perhaps in the twisted minds of authoritarian strongmen dictators and their blind-to-truth followers.

An excerpt from the disturbing article …

Here’s the link to the full disturbing article:

And here’s the beautiful Progress Flag the article references, along with the meaning behind the colors …


Maybe I’m stupid, but I don’t quite get how …
LIFE
HEALING
SUNLIGHT
NATURE
HARMONY
SPIRIT
And inclusive Love directed toward Indigenous Peoples, People of Color and Transgender People …
… are terroristic threats.
This is fascist insanity beyond belief.

But this is my country too, and I call upon …

… all true patriots to condemn this cancerous Avalanche of Hatred that Trump and his cronies are unleashing upon our nation and its very soul.





Wait, let me get this straight. Folks are getting fired from their jobs for exercising their first amendment right to speak freely.
But this guy can call for execution of American citizens with no punishment?
