... when time flies too fast, but not fast enough ...
Woof, what a hell of a lot happened since the last time I put words to these digital pages.
A Global Pandemic
The Great(er) Political Polarization
The Rise and Faltering of the Age of Elon
Oh, and Wars Ending and Wars Beginning, let's not pass that by.
I kept my written silence during the insane 2020 Presidential campaign and its psychotic aftermath, and through all of the sadness of the growing pandemic. Through bright spots of hope, and the deep depression of seeing hope, if not outright fail, then become diluted by forces seemingly beyond the control (or even care) of those we trusted with power.
Why keep mum through all that?
I was busy, sure. But that's not the reason. I started this blog to have a 'place' where I could say the things I need to say 'out loud'. Mostly unfiltered and with a touch of humor. Even when I knew that few if any would ever read my words, I kept it up as a kind of therapy. But even I have an overload limit where events and their coverage in the media just become too much to grok and digest. My passion to write flamed, guttered, flared, and then blew out.
What's changed now?
Well, I am older, less busy with actual work, and even more affected by the schism in this country than before. I have more now that I want to say, as useless as saying it will be. Plus, my family will kill me if I continue dumping my thoughts at them.
So ... if you are looking for a roller-coaster ride through my peculiar views on the news and the wonders and dangers of our World, tighten your seat belt and move away from any door plugs.
