I’m so stunned by the dysfunction of the Republican party and the carryover to overall governmental dysfunction, that I’m beside myself. There is a huge divide between ideology and governance. Ideology has to do with believing in a particular viewpoint. Governance has to do with doing what is best for the largest majority [...]
My little thought for the day.
My daughter, in Grade 5, 10 1/2 years old, has a creative teacher whose experiential teaching background (think LAUSD meets Outward Bound) comes up with all sorts of inventive ways to challenge the kids forward. One of the exercises (pre-pre SAT prep, really) is looking at word [...] I wasn’t up at the crack of dawn posting furiously along with the rest of the world on the results of yesterday’s election, where the American people voted the Democratic party out of their majority. I really needed to sit and think, without giving a gunshot opinion.
The defeat of the Democrat party [...] My head is burbling with pre-election jumble, thoughts about healthcare and so much more…so, to start, here is this week’s link to the Blogging Boomers’ Carnival #180, hosted by the always astute, John Agno. Definitely worth a stop over.

In our family (my mom, me and my 10-year old daughter) we pay almost $2,000/month for coverage and prescription medications. That’s stunning. My mother cannot shop for different providers because she has Type 2 diabetes and pays to be covered in a more expensive [...]
Couldn’t sleep, so I decided to take a shower at 4:30 am. When I’m that wired, it usually indicates I’ve got a lot on my plate and I haven’t got my process for dealing with that plate sorted out. So, shower it was. And in the shower, my mind has a tendency to [...]

A reader asked about the pros and cons of moving to find work in a different city. Her response was good and even-handed, but [...]
