If this happens, does this mean I’d run into presidential candidates at Portillo’s or the local Jewel every few days after the midterms?
In The Onion, sometimes just a headline and a photo are all you need.
February photoblogging challenge, Day 7: ABOVE. (I’ll probably have a bonus shot for this one today. Stay tuned.)
Rough morning at the home office. Making up for it with leftovers. This, friends, is what people in and around Chicago actually eat — as opposed to that touristy deep dish business.
Latest headline from the WashPost: “President lashes out at Democrats as ‘corrupt people’ at National Prayer Breakfast.”
Speechless. I only wish some were similarly so.
February photoblogging challenge, Day 6: PLANT.
Michael Pollan: “(Caffeine is) so pervasive that it’s easy to overlook the fact that to be caffeinated is not baseline consciousness but, in fact, is an altered state.”
February photoblogging challenge, Day 5: HIDE.
The Onion: “DNC Offers Startup $500 Million To Develop Pencil That Can Accurately Record Election Results”
February photoblogging challenge, Day 4: SPOT. (Sorry. Best I could do from my photo stockpile.)
Bonus February photoblogging challenge entry! Day 3: REFLECT.
(I knew I downloaded this from my files for a reason.)
I’ve set up a category on the old blog where the February photoblogging challenge posts can be found. #mbfeb
February photoblogging challenge, Day 3: REFLECT.
We adopted Winter last Super Bowl Sunday. We are celebrating appropriately.
Seeing a stray lightning bolt logo and players I once cheered for (Seau, Winslow) in the 100 Greatest Players tribute brought me to tears. I miss having a team to root for, and I miss the blissful ignorance of the brain injury consequences that may await some of these players.
February photoblogging challenge, Day 2: SIGHT — that is, a sight for sore, winter-weary eyes in the middle of our kitchen clutter.
The first daffodils of the season are early, but couldn’t come soon enough.
I’m a day late in getting my stuff together for #InCoWriMo (or #LetterMo). Let me know if you want a little snail mail this month!
After creating two politics-related posts in the past 24 hours, it’s time for me to cleanse the palate and start over this month. Happy February.
“Getting rid of Trump means taking seriously ‘shit-life syndrome’—and its resulting misery, which includes suicide, drug overdose death, and trauma for surviving communities.” (Huge H/T to @egelwan)
“It is challenging to explain how Trump’s policies are Christian. It is far easier to label his opponents as pagans, and thus align the president with Christianity by default.”
Now I know why InCoWriMo sounded familiar but not quite what I did a couple of years ago. I went the LetterMo route, which is looser than InCoWriMo in that it just encourages mailing something every day: a letter, postcard, clipping, picture, whatever. Regardless, I’m still in.
Giving this February photoblogging challenge a whirl. Happy February!
Day 1: OPEN.
Between the impeachment hearings and coronavirus, I’ve grown weary enough of the world to do a lot of muting of the noise on social media. All that’s left are faith, food, and baseball. And that makes me happy.
Of course I’m posting this on my phone (but I print it out to read, like our ancestors did):
“Screen reading can wreck your attention. Here’s how to save it.” (Washington Post)
Inés Sainz, reporter, Mexico’s TV Azteca Deportes: “This Super Bowl is going to be very Latin. The most Latin yet.”
