remembering names?

I just read my daily email from Luminosity, a “brain training” outfit that promises to get your mind to do what it hasn’t done in years: think. They apparently are of the opinion that I am one blank stare from the alzheimer’s wing or they wouldn’t hound me every morning. Alternately it could be thatContinue reading “remembering names?”

all politics is local

Please indulge me, readers from across the globe who may not be familiar with Louisiana state politics, and allow me to say that the best news I have heard in years (ten to be exact, the length of a federal racketeering sentence), vis a vis the future of this country and perhaps of all mankind,Continue reading “all politics is local”

I was adamantly against it, pulled the nuclear option and said “Absolutely not, it’s either me or the d….” I never even got to the “og” part before he was out of the house and backing down the driveway. The dogContinue reading “the first dog”

However, I do plan to cover a broader range of topics other than myself, but do remember, I am the overarching theme. Just to start, perhaps a bit of biographicalContinue reading “welcome to my madhouse”
