Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I have no words of my own about what keeps happening between police and people who are black. George Floyd is just the last in a long string. Listen to the song up there. Do you want to know something terrifying? I have heard multiple versions of this song, and in each one, they list …

Back a few months ago, Steve said he hoped I wouldn’t be like Jenna Evans and swallow anything in my sleep because I’ve become quite elaborate in the things I say and do, mostly say, once I’ve headed off to the land of Nod. I’ve been meaning to write down the totally weird and wacky …
I read this story about a gas station attendant’s experience with customers these days. A lot of people suck, especially right now. But what really stood out to me was when she said people are spitting on the pumps and snotting on the pay pads! Even in normal times, who does that? Who?! I cannot …

The ID card the Ontario Attorney General made for us has come apart. It looks like a mess now. Nobody would believe that was a real ID card. I never managed to get it re-laminated in time. Now I’m not sure if someone could. Also, her harness got two frayed spots on it. We got …
The other day, I came across this old post about not calling guide dogs down a flight of stairs, which is still good advice. But I want to add something to that advice. Don’t ask to pet a guide dog at the top of a flight of stairs either. Seriously. Don’t. Would you ask to …

I mean I wrote about her lump removal, but there is so much more to say. It has been a year since I’ve done a Shmans deluge. Of …
Just before the world went splat and the idea of going to concerts became a thing of the past, we went to see Tanya Tucker. What a good show! Anyway, during the show, of course she sang “What’s Your Mamma’s Name, Child”. First, the song had its intended effect on me. Then, because I must …
I have been feeling anxious when out walking because I never feel like I can keep the six feet of distance. This is not helped by Shmans’s tendency to kind of buzz people as they go by. Sometimes she just scoots past them, and sometimes she has sniffed people in a moment of weakness. Either …

lyrics are here. This song has been chasing me around since I heard it. Any time I hear someone cough, any time I cough and I think someone might have heard me, any time we get a note in our door, it shows up. So now you can all have it in your head too! …
