When will I ever learn?

It was less than a year ago, I wrote this post, warning myself about drinking plenty of water when indulging in alcohol, so you would think I would know better.

But NO, that was not to be the case, and I went on to repeat almost exactly what happened last year. The only difference being, I didn't go for a bike ride (my knee was still hurting slightly), and went to the gym instead.

At least the dinner party went well. There was plenty of good wine, and everyone said my lamb wellington was very good.

I wasn't totally pleased with it, because I wasn't able to obtain the cut of the lamb I wanted, and I thought it was slightly over cooked, but I'm still going to assume they were telling the truth, and weren't just being nice.

Besides this was my first time making wellington, and I learned quite a bit. Next time it will be even better.

I just hope the next time I remember to drink plenty of water!

It's bloody hot here today. I hope the heat is making you happy since you posted you hated winter. This has nothing to do with you post, I just wanted to rant :-)

Yes it's freakin' hot. 92°F to be exact. And while this isn't my preferred weather, it is a damn sight better than cold, so I'm not going to complain at all.

I might even go out and play a round of golf a little later.

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba...

Open letter to all Democrats

Stop the nonsense! Continuing to go after Trump, without any hope of getting a conviction, does nothing more than provide Republicans with an obstructionist dialogue (now that they have come up with the unconstitutional talking point) in addition to giving Trump much needed publicity, when we should be ignoring him. It's the pure definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result! Instead Democrats need to be laser focused on what is important to all Americans, i.e. healthcare, Social Security and Medicare, infrastructure reform, the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, to name just a few. And when you do talk about Trump, simply steer the conversation as to how the Trump administration botched everything, how Trump is responsible for the deaths of 400,000+ Americans, due to his inaction and the down playing of the pandemic, plus the deaths of 2 Capitol policeman during the insurrection Trump provoked and incited on January 6, 2021. ...

Stop the stupidity!

Rural medical center (in Georgia) suspended from vaccination program after inoculating school district staff. Give me a break! Trying to get kids back to school, while protecting teachers, bus drivers and other staff, is exactly what school districts should be doing. If they have vaccines, give them out. We should be giving out vaccines to all who want them, whenever available. Trying to adhere to rigid guidelines will only result in fewer people getting vaccines, resulting in the discarding of precious vaccines, and less protection for everyone. Of course we should be giving first priority to healthcare workers, and any other essential public service employees, such as policeman, fireman, etc. first, but when they're not around to receive shots, or refuse shots, then give them to anyone willing to take them. What I would have objected to is the medical center trying to capitalize on the pandemic to make a profit, from giving vaccines to people far down the list of recipients, but ...
