Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Ad nauseum. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. No. Don’t think. The cycle stops here. No need to repeat. Let things dry as they are. Let things air out as needed. Just stop repeating the same cycle. Out there it is often said “Insanity is doing the same […]
Easy going, filled with mirth But being toppled over wasn’t on her agenda Little did they know that little Bo Peep was standing her ground This was her turf Her mind was all rapid fire She came guns blazing Her wit was sharp Her facts straight Her inner […]
All day I thought of my to-do list which is a mile long. Well, let me rephrase. Occasionally, throughout the day, I thought I should get some checkmarks onto my yellow pad of itemized to-do items. I thought about. Then sent about ten emails. Then I did one […]
A long time ago. So long ago, that I cannot remember exact details, I watched a comedy skit for a clean up service that stayed in my mind. It percolated. It might have been a Saturday Night Live skit. It was selling a service for when you die. […]
