CAREGIVING COVID IN 2021 LIKE A CAREGIVER WOULD DO

December 31, 2020 by

Caregiving covid as only a caregiver can do? Only a caregiver can figure this one out. If it takes one to know one, I’m here to serve.

CHRISTMAS BROOM FOR SANTA CLEAN UP

December 29, 2020 by

A Christmas broom is better than a Christmas vacuum? Or a Christmas mop? Those are reminders of work to do, work left undone. Not like a bottle of Chivas, which is a reminder to let it slide, you lush. Pour a drink and sweep while Santa pushes the Christmas broom.

When a big red broom makes all the difference: W.C Fields said, “I once spent a year in Philadelphia. I think it was a Sunday.” He’s got the time-bender figured out better than Einstein after 2020.

CHRISTMAS LESSON 2020 FROM WWI FOR BALANCE

December 25, 2020 by

2020 Christmas lesson from WWI? Anyone? Anyone? Hands up? The top shot is more than a bunch of guys and a soccer ball. They are the cannon fodder, the poison gas breathers, the machine gun targets for strafing practice, who took a war- break on Christmas. Their Christmas lesson? Peace on earth. My view: I’m […]
