It is Friday morning, 21 October 2022, and I need to get the garbage out to the corner for pickup. After that, it’ll be time to settle in for my routine, with a low-carb bagel and cream cheese plus a large hot cup of medium roast Tanzanian peaberry coffee.
I hope you are well… Friday only comes once a week.
I look forward to it with a little more zeal these days. Dane usually gets together with his friends for dinner and gaming on Friday nights, so Lisa and I have the house to ourselves. Last Friday we went out for dinner and had a nice time getting out of the house. I’m thinking tonight we’ll stick around our place, but I’m thinking of either making dinner here at home or making a plan with a local restaurant we haven’t been to in a while, then presenting dinner here at home before settling in for a relaxing Friday night.
All of the political advertisements arriving in the mail, showing up on TV, appearing in the newspapers… I like the political season other countries have – 6 weeks, all the ads get out, all of the debates are aired, and then you vote. Our political cycle seems neverending and infinitely expensive, pricing any underfunded candidates out of the race. It’s a pretty disgusting process, to be honest with you.
I need to eliminate that expression from my vocabulary… saying “…to be honest with you” implies that there are other times that someone is not being honest.
Yeah, I think I’ll try to be honest with you all of the time. Sometimes I might be a little more blunt or frank, so that’s what I ought to stick to.
I’m going to go focus on the day.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
