We have an insurrectionist who plotted to overturn an election who will most likely become speaker of the House today. I hope not, I can’t quite wrap my head around that!

And we have the tremendous tension of waiting for Israel to invade Gaza, and wondering how Iran will react.
I am juggling assorted medical appointments. There are days I’m not quite sure what day it is — or if I missed something important.
How about you? How are you feeling?

“There are days I’m not quite sure what day it is — or if I missed something important.”
Exactly. And I like to think I have one of those high quality brains, capable of being a university prof for years. But half my mind is in the trenches of Ukraine. The other half is in a mental cramp about Israel. The third half, as the Car Talk guys used to say, is sitting there like a bowl of oatmeal thinking I don’t have any real problems. Not on a global scale, for sure.
Meanwhile, the fourth half of my mind is pointing out that global warming isn’t even on the march anymore. It’s hopped on a scooter and plans on upgrading its ride soon.
