Things We Think Don’t Need Anymore
Since my internet (computer sorta) strike began – blame Stable Genius Trump news – I’m using these reference books again. And my old manual typewriter. And handwritten notebooks. And layers of Post-It Note corrections. I feel 20 years younger!
Things We Don’t Need Anymore
Don’t know how long my internet strike will last. I’m giving myself 5 minutes a day. LOL. I am on Second Life (a virtual world) , though. I look 40 years younger there! Let me know if you’d like to meet up there and I’ll try to figure out how we can do that.

Sometimes I Spend Time Escaping
David had surgery yesterday. He’s home now and recovering. So, I’m watching the new Mary Poppins…I hope to be posting again soon.

“We Have The Vote” (Bob Dylan)
Bob Dylan Updates Times They Are Changing in 2018
Keep reading while you listen…the words are below. Wonderful for me to listen to a writer editing a winner. Art isn’t stagnant.

Bob Dylan returns to the Orpheum Theatre in Minnesota to perform an updated version of “The Times They Are A-Changin’.” Full lyrics below:
Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that our country don’t feel like our home
And that silence speaks louder than those who condone
If a tweet to you is worth favin’
Then lift up your voices and put down your phones
For the times they are a-changin’
Come women and men who hashtag Me Too
And believe me when I say that we believe you
For weak is the man who calls truth “fake news”
Time’s up, our silence we’re breaking
And even though Mel Gibson was in Daddy’s Home 2
Well the times they are a-changin’
Come athletes with platforms throughout the land
Who by taking a knee are taking a stand
And before you shout out that they should be banned
Listen to what they are saying
Perhaps they’d stand up if you reached out your hand
Well the times they are a-changing
Come journalists, writers who report the facts
And brandish your pen to fend off his attacks
Look past what he says and look at how he acts
The fire and fury is raging
For his words can hurt, but your words can fight back
New York Times, they aren’t a-failin’
Come leaders who bully like Internet trolls
We’ll curse you with four-letter words ‘love’ and ‘hope’
For we will go high even when you go low
The order is re-arranging
For you have the power, but we have the vote
The times they are a-changin’
The Wonder of Rainbows

Impeach Dat
I’m taking some time off from the internet. I’m really obsessed with not liking this guy and can’t help reading really stupid articles. It’s bothersome to my mind. It’s taking a toll on my creativity.
