Just shooting the poop with Lori

He travels the world on the backs of others
Insignificant in his stature and size
His journey carries no mission
Randomly roaming at the will of his host
Sated enough to never question his trek
Life is an open adventure without worry
If the excitement of his dusty trail dulls
Another bus awaits to grant passage
With a furry friend to carry him home
Ah the wonderful life of a flea

In response to "Back again"

Writing also has fewer calories.

Even short entries like this count. It keeps the gas from backing up and... well, no need to go there...

Hope you can check in whenever the urge arises.

In response to "Back on"

Post something on the Newsfeed that you're back. Folks don't read blogs like they used to.

Personally, my life has changed a lot in the last few months.

In response to "Songs"

Instagram, YouTube? I dunno. I want to write some stories placed in Thailand... maybe a screen play... complete with music in Thai/Lao. I've even sang some to myself (melody/images rather than words). My voice left me long ago but that shouldn't stop me from singing.

Yep. When the right ship passes by... you'll be ready.

In response to "Old Friends"

I wish... I was looking forward to my high-school reunion... but covid. I no longer live close to where I grew up. None of them live here. I have to rely on new connections.

In response to "Happiness"

I didn't connect well as a child. Never quite felt at ease in my skin and I wasn't taught how to get along.

So I've spent a lifetime working on connections. Sometimes it worked! No need to mention the other times.

I continue stumbling on my journey.

In response to "New York"

Glad you went.

I can imagine it would be overwhelming for the senses. I live in quiet and will need to adjust next time I travel. I mostly live in silence and that's not in my forecast.

I'm a bit jealous. I've never been. But as a world traveler I concur with what you say. Enjoy being with your daughter.

In response to "Games of the 60's and 70's"

Yes, I remember jarts. We were careful. I didn't play marbles. I came to dislike Monopoly. Later I learned to dislike Risk.

I prefered card games. I played to win. Of course, I lost as well.

In response to " RoboCalls from Work"

I'd be pissed and demanding to be paid for answering the phone! I worked 11 pm - 7 am. I did NOT works days. I did NOT work evenings. I slept 8-4 and told friends not to call me unless the house was burning down. I literally could not work if I didn't have enough sleep.

Some at that time thought we should have rotating shifts. The night crew adamantly said NO. My opinion? Rotation is an abuse and so are many schedules for police and hospitals. I've worked both. You want a doc or a cop who's worked 16 hours straight to look after you?

Silly, but wise

I am a mother of 3 young adults and still I am presented often with the teenager's eye-roll. It is not because I suggest or tell them to do a chore these days, but more for my opinions, stupid jokes, or my Mary Poppins view on life. It is just as infuriating today as when they were younger, but I have lost the ability to punish the culprits. I am not even sure that they realize they are doing it and at times I point it out to them. Other times I just close my mouth and walk away. Our interpersonal communication skills have grown through the years but I wonder if the eye roll ever completely disappears from the parent/child exchange. Will they ever come a time when they fully appreciate our wisdom?
