Who's that dame?

It has been many, many weeks since my last post and apparently I've not been missed. That is okay! Things have happened since my last attempt. Teranofuji won the May Basho -- if he wins in July, his Yokozuna status is assured -- and as of tomorrow I will be working 40 hours a week. I've not worked 40 hours a week in a year and a quarter and I am both happy and feeling what best can be described as lazy. I will miss YouTube and reading books. After thinking about it for many years, I decided to adopt a cat from PAWS Chicago. PAWS is a terrific place and since they opened their doors the number of cats that have been euthanized in Chicago has gone from 46,000 to 1,900. Much of this is due to trap, neuter, release for those who cannot be socialized and adopted; they are returned to their feral colonies to live out their lives with their felines pals. My cat, now named BB, was a stray. She always uses the box and covers her business; she sleeps on the bed with me but in her own s...

March Basho!

Yes, last week got away from me but, hello, I am back with the great news that Teranofuji won the Emperor's Cup and the equivalent of $100,000 and another $30,000 for the special prize of outstanding performance as it was a stellar performance with a 12-and-3 record. And just five-and-a-half years ago he stopped kindly for me so I could take his picture as he entered the restroom. Someone who will stop for a big/old American woman when what they want most is a little bladder and kidney relief is a sparkling example of a human being. Congrats, Teranofuji (but Enho is still my fave)!

Oops and here is a vacation I took

Arrgh! Sorry! Last week's blog just got away from me. When our last president was in office, I had anger and questions and more anger. For many of his base, Pandora's Box of Racism was opened and can never be closed. Now we have President Biden and he is getting things done. The last time I was in Paris was in November, 2014. As we are only going places in our minds and not with our bodies -- not safe yet, vaccines or not -- here is a picture on which to dream.

Just who is Q?

I am a big fan of the various Star Trek series. In Star Trek: The Next Generation, we were introduced to the character Q of a race known as Q. All Q are immortal. The Q are almost all arrogant SOBs. They like to create havoc for the Enterprise and then, later, on Voyager. This is not the Q we'll be discussing today. The Q we are going to discuss is QAnon. QAnon is the to-the-right-of-Attila-the-Hun mystery group that likes to stir up right wing extremism as much as the really devoted facists that they are. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia's gift to the worst kind of Congressional representation, likes to spread the rumor that California wildfires were caused by Jewish space lasers. (I am a Jewish person; no Jewish person, school, or temple has their very own space lasers. They're too cost prohibitive.) Shortly after all of Marjorie's true weirdness came to light, Representative Greene was stripped of all her committee assignments. She had a big glass of Q'...

It's Warhol, y'all.

If you ever are on YouTube and see this picture, it's what I chose to represent myself. I thought about using my staghorn fern but this woman is having some serious fun and in these super weird times, fun is a good thing to have.
