If our current politics were a Disney movie, this is about the time we learn Princess Ivanka has a secret admirer.

If they build the border wall and I see it, I will probably say, “Hey, look, there’s the wall.” And someone will reply, “Oh yeah, there it is.”

Growing up, there was a pretty standard picture of Jesus everywhere, and although I’ve never given it much thought, I think that’s the hairstyle I’ve always gone for.

I often hear the phrase “respect is earned”.. But I think it should be “respect is given, trust is earned.” Sure, someone can quickly lose your respect.. but starting at “no respect until you’ve earned it” is kinda a prickly policy imho (:

I hope the woman in the statue of liberty costume, who waved at me from in front of H&R Block, (and reminded me to file my taxes) gets some kind tax break for that. I don’t know much about taxes, but that was a real public service. (:

I saw a clip of Dylan and Joan Baez singing “It Ain’t Me Babe,” and they kept breaking out laughing. I guess the notion of Bob Dylan “gather (ing) flowers constantly” is pretty funny. And now, I wonder if the whole thing is a bit of a “put on.”
My fav “unreasonable requests” in the song are “Someone to die for you..and more” “to protect and defend you.. whether you are right or wrong” “someone to close their eyes.. to close their heart” “A lover for your life.. and nothing more”!?

2 movies that don’t go together: manchester by the sea / david brent: life on the road!

When you roll out of bed, throw on some sweatpants, and as you pass the mirror, notice the back pocket is in front, it’s time get on your style!

Pineapple & ham..on white pizza-OK. Anchovies on red pizza-maybe. Chicken on pizza-Nope. Dessert Pizza-is Not pizza!  (:

One of my FB friends called out “sheeple” and I thought of this quote, from an essay by Andre Dubus, about his adventure “sheep-sitting” in NH.. (:  “And Christ called us his flock, his sheep: there were pictures of him holding a lamb in his arms. His face was tender and loving, and I grew up with a sense of those feelings, of being a source of them: we were sweet and lovable sheep. But after a few weeks in that New Hampshire house, I saw Christ’s analogy meant something entirely different. We were stupid, helpless brutes, and without constant watching would foolishly destroy ourselves.” -Andre Dubus “Out Like a Lamb”
