The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

“Former US Senator Ben Sasse wrote, ‘Death and dying aren’t the same — the process of dying is still something to be lived.’”

In today’s AP, announcing he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

Powerful words.

Keep up the fight, Senator!

Tim is not wrong. It’s a constant battle with the furrowed brow creases and bags under the eyes due to lack of sleep. At this rate of bull shit, I’m hoping I LIVE to 2028.

This is insanity and unsustainable.

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

There’s not much new news in the 60 Minutes segment. But it does keep the atrocities our government is doing in the light of day.

Shame on the Puppy Killer and her Pedophile Boss!

I close on my house today. So very happy for the change. Paying off every one of my debts and still have money to build out my son’s hay loft in Maine and buy a van.

Punctured lung while dry needling a muscular man? Physical therapists are not physicians. This does not surprise me.

NFL players say they will continue with dry-needling sessions despite a recent incident involving the Pittsburgh Steelers’ T.J. Watt.

Sometimes it’s better to miss a party than to bring the crazy to it.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Just spoke to my daughter in Warwick. 2 of the Warwick schools are on lock down. The mall was locked down. All because of this #Brown U shooter on the loose.

RI is on high alert. What the hell? After the BosMarathon bombing, it was shut down. Not Providence! Students were calling Ubers to leave!

Rest in peace, Rob Reiner. Your contribution to the world is immeasurable. You will be terribly missed.

May the murderer of your wife and you be found and held accountable.

For you, Mr. Reiner: Fuck Trump to Hell.

I’ve moved into the house sitting place. For four months and I couldn’t be happier.

I’ve lived near the airport for 11 years. The silence is deafening now. Just makes me want to be in Maine all the more.

I finally learned something new today. Offering to help a neurotypical often is interpreted by them as judgement.

This is a HUGE revelation for me.

I’m free. No longer will I feel the only way to be accepted is by helping, which backfired anyways.

Going forward, MMOB.

This is an interesting hypothesis about autism which includes genetics, epigentics, and environmental factors. As it should.

I’m not too keen on wanting to “prevent” autism but to help mitigate the significant disability that may occur w my kin.
