The little things that never fail to make me smile are of course, kids! Having a snow day where we played in the house together, everything from hide and seek to dancing to loud music, marching around like soldiers, all great fun I miss.

Travelers fresh from the future may look upon these sorrowful days in our world as an untethered plan devised to divide nations. These ne’er do wells dangerously play, dressed up in ridiculous clothes, speak hateful jibes, and text gibberish on media platforms, all to hurt democracy, not to enrich it.

My strategy for today is to ignore the weather, and news all day long. I’m just having coffee at 9 so that’s a good start. I’ve learned to read the “My Dang Blog”post before holding a cup of coffee. Read here and you’ll see what I mean:

Things That Are Like Other Things

FOWC with Fandango — Strategy

“In these uncertain times, Viking…” stop…rewind…in these uncertain times the check is in the mail is probably heard quite often.

Considering it took two months for my birthday card mailed in September to get to me in November, there’s going to be a lot of it going around.

#JusJoJan prompt the 17th – “Check!”

The color of your skin, eyes, your hair, your body type, your ableness, your language, speech. These are all outside your true identity. This is what most people think of you, their first impression, their judgment of you. How sad is that?

W C Fields in his day had dubious taste

Andrew Dice Clay’s humor was laced

With words we’re not even used to today

Some comedians have changed their ways

Now anything may be called funny

When you go to clubs, pay the money

Humor and jokes are subjective

Making you laugh is the objective

Everyone makes their own choice

To listen to a certain comedian’s voice.

Part of the Geography curriculum is getting a box of local snacks to try. This one from Italy.

You know those boys

The ones who smoke cigarettes on the corner

Dressed in tight jeans, muscles bared with sleeves rolled up T-shirts

You know those heartthrob wannabes, acting all cool

Like James Dean with that greasy duck-tailed do

They eye you as you pass by, give you a “I know what you want” smirk

And of course you blush, because you want it too,

Dressed in your furry pink sweater and poodle skirt,

With saddle shoes and bobby socks rolled down as soon as you left the house

You know them well.

Gigi assembled her planners, her calendars, her pens, pouches, and post-its before her on the desk and stood over them like a general surveying maps. It hadn’t been easy, the transition from office building to working at home. No matter how she liked being able to relax in comfy clothing and make her own schedule, she missed the interaction.

Part of her job was helping new employees adjust to their surroundings, and now she had to accomplish that task for herself. Bright posters, green plants, and a small fridge added to the atmosphere she wanted to get used to.

She turned on the two computer screens, saw everything worked correctly, and began her day.

This brave beauty has been buffeted by autumn’s steely breath, robbed of its faded cape. Not one thread clung to shield it from winter chill. Twigs …
