It’s “not like us” tribal shit that is fucking up the world. People wanting everyone else to be like them and hating those who aren’t… Why can’t the world see that? The knife cuts both ways. There is no one answer that fits everyone.

Background Music
The whole day has felt like background music, with nothing in the foreground.
Music pats on my soul.
Music pats on my soul.
When TV’s were furniture
Just read a reference to “when TVs were furniture”. My mind then walked straight down memory lane to my childhood in the late 50’s and 60’s.
Father’s Day 2023
Jack was a wonderful father. I remember him today in his prime, at his best, when he mattered most to those he loved, when he could still pretend he liked me. He loved me deeply, but I knew I was a disappointment to him. He was the bar I could not reach. Thinking of you today, Dad. I love you.

There is a moment when your pain, hurts, and failures stop being events and start being your life. They are reborn into that which defines you. It is when you truly see who you are.

Shame
I am ashamed to live in #Tennessee today. I have no words to express how angry I am at the players who opened the doors for this type of legislative behavior. It is one thing (still wrong) to be racist and intolerant of opposing viewpoints. It is another (fucking abhorrent) to institutionalize that behavior.
The Christopher Tree
I found out today a friend planted a tree in memory of my son shortly after he committed suicide.
She sent me a picture. It’s a fine tree. I can feel his smile.
