You're kidding... Another one????

Well, now I've crossed the line. Another blog created, another way to keep the world in touch with my random ramblings and insane mumblings each day, week, month. You should be scared. The decision came reading legal blogs, or "blawgs" related to work, as well as creations from politicos and friends across the country. Suddenly, the MySpace craze didn't seem to cut it anymore. So here's another attempt to create that boundless network of readers who can bounce in periodically when time permits. Maybe this means the coffee pot will brew more often, or that the pillow will welcome my sleeping head later or less often. Hope yes for the first, and no for the latter. As far as new year resolutions go, better health maintenance tops the list along with better financing, but other personal ones that should be on the list include more regular schedules and written or expressive reflection on daily life. So, here's my latest attempt at all the above. Read with pleasure or displeasure, whichever you prefer. But happy reading nonetheless. And in tribute to Hoskins' blog, raise those coffee mugs (or beer steins, if preferred) and toast to The Corner Booth. Here's to a daily dose of Coffee & Conversation - Hoskins-style.

Welcome to the End of the World?

Well, did anyone think this is what 2020 would look like? Global pandemic and worldwide public health emergency, everything shutting down and a potential economic collapse on the horizon. Holy fuck. ' A "Pandemic (in Quarantine) Playlist on my Spotify is now a thing, and my own remote worklife now in its 8th year has taken on an eeerie new spin. As are my watchlists full of dystopian and post-apocalyptic TVs and movies for streaming in these strange times. All of my work travel and conferences for the spring have been nixed, and we're all watching closely to see what the impact may be for summer events. What about my "underlying health condition" that is type 1 diabetes? So far, so good. No signs of anything astray. As I've shared over on DiabetesMine, I have been using the Tandem t:slim X2 device since mid-October 2019. That followed three-and-a-half years of Multiple Daily Dosing with pens and Afrezza inhaled insulin insulin. I starte...

A Writer's Pen

A writer carries a pen. That is the way it is. For as long as I recall, that's how it has been. Moments have appeared, of course, where that vow failed. Where I did not have a pen to write with. Where the pen was in my hand, but it didn't write. Moments in history are marked by the written word. Journalists know and live this truth*.... ( yes, truth matters. Facts matter. Alternate versions of both do not **.) ... [ the fact that we have to emphasize this in 2020-21 is ridiculous, but the reality exists ]. I carry a pen. Because I'm a writer. Because the written word matters. Because facts and details matter. Context is everything. Painting a picture with my words is what I've done, professionally and personally, for so long. Words have painted a picture, opened a portal into the heart and mind. I've read what others have written with their own pens, even if those pens aren't physical but mental and those words have materialized from digital tools. The idea of w...

Flapping the Gums

No time for my chatty-typing fingers to engage you today. I'm off to the dentist's office for a dreaded appointment. Thanks to the wonders of D-enduced periodontal disease, this should be a visit full of poking, prodding, pain, and likely some bleeding. Great times. Not looking forward to this visit. Or the next more painful one. I see soup in my future. Maybe Easy Mac. But, I digress. That's all fodder for a future blog post. In the meantime today, talk amongst yourselves. Flap those online gums in the blogging world. And remember to brush and floss.
