TIRED OF WINNING YET? (February 22/152 or not)


EVER WONDER where the worst place is to find a handicap parking spot? Outside an orthopedic surgeon's office. (even the doc thought that was funny). As I merely use the sticker to get a nifty parking spot, it is annoying when the truly needy hog the spots. Ok, ok, if I fall, I'm toast so I take Kenny cane with me which looks pathetic. I have more trouble getting it in and out of the car with it and the grandson likes to waft it around like a sword much to my dismay and amusement. 

DEMENTIA IS NOW COOL Can't help it even as democracy is crumbling there were a few light moments.

1)  After a massive meltdown on Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl marmie hosted a massive Latin themed party at mar-i-goldie two days later with Latin entertainers-whaa?  Of course, tickets        (supposedly for Hispanic literacy programs) went from 15,000 to 250,000. Would that not indicate immigrants learning "ingles"? I'm confused. Also, considering their reputation of reneging on charity dealies one wonders if the money has disappeared down the trump empire rabbit hole. Are you listening Hispanic voters?

2) Trump family claiming trademark rights on any airports (for now) named after their fearful leader. Oh yes, they claim they will never charge-can I sell you a new bridge in Detroit?

3) The irony of the so-called "broad of pieces" made up of countries half of whom marmie does not allow into our country. And oddly enough, no Palestinian representation with the jelly man named chair for life. Was he afraid he'd be on unemployment after his latest gig? What am I missing here 😏?

NEW SHOWS Recording my last poddie tomorrow before the conference where I will attempt some live interviews. Hopefully not repeating last year's performance where I discussed employer drug liability with two attorneys for 30 minutes but forgot to hit record. Oops. Thank goodness they weren't charging me. 

"You know that feeling when someone tries to give you advice, but their birth years starts with 2?"

Well, that may not be far off. Sat through a meeting Wednesday where I agreed to talk to our executive director about something that totally escapes me now. Like I say dementia is cool. I think it had to do with the podcasts and some new software or app, but not sure. I wrote the person who ran the meeting if she can enlighten me, though actually she was probably born before 2000, thank goodness.  

Had the grandson overnight and took him bowling. He went through six games and was still feeling pretty good-decent scores too. We are working on new ball number three now. Conversations with him are fascinating and he is really a deep thinker. We have been discussing communism-friend or foe- and he has some interesting thoughts. He believes if all things were equal and people were fair-minded it is only fair that everyone has a piece of the good life. I do not disagree. I pointed out the inevitable trap of someone contributing more and others taking advantage is the problem, but all humans deserve a decent standard of living. I appreciate his empathy for people and his questioning what he has been taught in school. He's got a real rah-rah America first social studies teacher, and he likes to run what gets said by his Dad and me. We kind of agreed that a powerful country can afford to be benevolent and help raise others. 

I'll take it. USA took gold in both men and women's hockey!! (Suppose rumple thin skin will demand their medals?) Michigan State managed to hang on to their lead today. TSA said they were suspending pre-check, then rescinded it. 😂 I got my GS cookies in the freezer. The new snow is melting. Steak for dinner and no tylenol today. That is all. 

                           


Peace out/Stay strong/Love your neighbor....💚  💙💛
