So mje has a lazy kidney, much like the rest of my body. It’s in there somewhere but not doing much of anything. I know this because I have had a cough, courtesy of our grandson jesus who brought rsv home from camp lo these many summers ago and the CT scan of my lungsContinue reading “high drama in the low country”

on the road again
Sorry for the loooong delay since my last post. I am having a bit of mid-life crisis (well, mid-life if I live to be 150 years old). Frankly the political situation in what used to be known as the United States of America is so abominable that I dread getting out of bed in theContinue reading “on the road again”
toys r ca-razy
The OB&C and MJE await the imminent arrival of grand daughter bandoleira-saturnalia, her parter, adamame and crown prince henny-penny for a two week visit. In advance of their arrival, bandoliera has requested a few items we must have on hand: a portable crib, which is understandable and (mje is not making this up) a fisher-priceContinue reading “toys r ca-razy”
I tried oh lord I tried
MJE feels oddly at peace today, probably much like someone in hospice who gets the the last big morphine hit and is ready to descend to the depths of hell where he/she belongs, and frankly, where all the fun people go. I guess it’s just a relief from the pre-election tension as well as gratitudeContinue reading “I tried oh lord I tried”
bad moon rising
Out of the still warm ashes of our democracy MJE is rising. In these dark days we need to look for the shining light on the hill. Unfortunately that light is a forest fire that is burning down everything in its path, lit by the combined fury of millions of americans who couldn’t stand theContinue reading “bad moon rising”
golden corral
The OB&C and MJE, like human glaciers are inexorably crumbling toward our “past due” dates. As my readers may remember, we have a home in Ancient Oaks, a community for overactive seniors. It’s located in the “low country” of the usa, which means most of it is below sea level and will be under waterContinue reading “golden corral”
duck!
“Living in the moment”, first cousin once removed of meditation is another one of those notions I don’t fully buy. Live in the moment just a tad too long and you could get hit by a bus. That said, there have been a few times when I truly did live in the moment, like itContinue reading “duck!”
woo hoo houthis
I don’t know about you but I am having a hard time keeping all of the terrorist groups straight. First off, is it a rule in the terrorist handbook that if you decide to start a new terrorist group, or an off shoot of an existing one, that the name has to begin with anContinue reading “woo hoo houthis”
2023: write it off
Trigger warning, bad grammar ahead! MJE has folded like a cheap suitcase under the strain of trying to placate the myriad of sexual prefix preferences, it is just too exhausting to constantly try to be inclusive of all of the variables. So, although it pains me no end to bend to the current application of “they”Continue reading “2023: write it off”
st. george
Mje totally understands the outrage and confusion regarding st. george’s resume, but what the general public doesn’t understand is that rather than inflating his accomplishments, st. g greatly down played them in order to be more relatable to ordinary people. For instance, he stated that he attended baruch college. Far from it my friends, st.Continue reading “st. george”
