Day 20,045
Day 20, 045. I’m thinking I’ll devote this little diatribe to 45. I try not to hide my feelings when it comes to the current state of the country. I think we’re in pretty serious trouble.

So, yeah… I’m sitting here on a Sunday night watching our newest family member rip the stuffing out of a pink pig toy. There has to be a metaphor in there somewhere. Where it is, I have no idea. But back to reality. Not a real exciting day. Encountered a couple of idiots on the …

OK, I’m here sitting in my chair, it’s almost ten o’clock on a Saturday night. I probably ought to be focusing harder on getting my share of the laundry done. It’s been a little bit of a weird day. Lots of little distractions adding up. One thing I can tell you, this new addition to …
