I have been watching a lot of the US Open and hanging out in my chair the last fortnight.
Probably better to be out and about but Squiggy thinks it’s just fine. As he lays on my leg in my chair resting on the armrest.
The window is open too. Very kitty approved.
The Dream Act really should have passed in 2012. So many Americans who grew up here, went to school here, but were not born here should have citizenship.
Trump’s order ending DACA today affects 800,000 people. They could go to work, and not work under the table. They could go to school and pay in state tuition. And they wouldn’t have to worry about deportation.
There is a long tradition of bigotry, know nothings and nativists in our country. At first it was against Irishman and Germans, then Italians and Poles, then Chinese, now Mexicans and Hispanic people. All of these people are what make America great. Including the hundreds of thousands that are in this in between status with DACA.
And more of them deserve citizenship. That is why we have so many “illegal aliens” in the United States. It’s because it’s so hard to become a citizen. We can and must do better.
My WordPress app has been buggy.
I didn’t realize my password had been compromised. I guess I should actually check my email.
I got the password reset yesterday with my wife’s help.
I guess I need to upgrade past the Genesis framework. Although I like the simplicity.
It still didn’t want to work so I had to uninstall it, which made me nervous and reinstall it again.
I’m glad I can, I do most of my blogging on my cellphone now.
Actually had to retype yesterday’s post on the computer. Which I edited and made better.
Blogging every day for around 21 months straight and doing the Three Good Things on Facebook for 833 days now matters to me.
It’s excellent to have to write two things every day.
I found out one of my high school friends Beth Ellen Cooper died today.
I always thought she was pretty awesome.
Great smile, wonderful personality, and extremely cool.
She went to clown college and seminary and was a settled Unitarian Universalist minister in the Woodlands, Texas near Houston.
It sounded like she was a wonderful mother and great minister.
I know she went to Reno, Nevada to explore other passions.
I didn’t know she was so sick.
So sad to see someone die from the class on 1993 at Montgomery High School (NJ), a year younger than me and only 41.
Beth was pretty awesome and I know a lot of people miss her and are praying for her family and friends like I am.
I know she brought a lot of smiles with her puppets, smile, clowning, listening and laughter. The world is a little less bright without her.
My body told me today that this was a day for rest. When your body is a wonderland I think that is more curse than blessing.
The kitties especially Squiggy approved of my resting though.
Napping and watching the US Open all day isn’t so bad.
