I’ve bowled a couple times recently with rented velcro shoes. They were way, way too wife.
I’m looking forward to bowling tomorrow with my shoes and ball.
If you bowl much, shoes are an excellent investment.
I still need to break out the golf bag in Connecticut. It’s been four years now.
I finished the excellent “The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches From the Border” by Francisco Cantu today.
Beautifully written. Heartfelt.
Working in the Border Patrol is a very tough job.
And we really need to make it easier for people who have families on both sides of the border.
We also need to realize that in many countries US intervention has made things so much worse.
We don’t need walls, we need compassion.
And to love and be excellent to each other.
It’s wonderful to be outside at 8:30 tonight as the sun is setting.
The birds are singing their happy let’s eat insects songs.
Cars are running down our street. Some too loud, some too fast.
And I have to get ready for bed and getting up at 5am.
It’s awfully nice to hang out and read or just hang out and blog.
As I am still in mid summer with long days.
It’s lovely. Especially as it’s cooler this time of almost night.
I’m a big guy. And yes I am fat.
It’s an adjective, like tall, or brown hair.
It’s not a put down. And it’s not something that anyone else needs to “fix.”
Health shaming is incredibly rude. Don’t do it.
Diets very often don’t work. And lead to people having lower metabolism and enjoying food less.
Let’s be excellent to each other.
And stop the fat shaming and meanness. And saying diets are always good. And you are “good” to eat this not that.
Not everyone is built the same and that’s okay.
Your body is not an apology as Sonya Renee Taylor says in her book and organization.
Practice radical self-love and be happy with yourself and others.
Blessed be.
I thought for today’s blood moon I would throw in some optimism. And of course one of the greatest songs of all time from Sam Cooke.
I think even with Trumpism and the racists and nativists in charge, things will improve.
The country is getting more diverse, weirder and queerer.
And the age of the rich white man in power are going to be ending.
And a change is gonna come. Oh yes it is.
