THERE’S A BAD MOON RISING – Creedence Clearwater Revival – Marilyn Armstrong

There's a Bad Moon Rising And just because this is really what I was thinking about. Maybe because for some obscure reason, it sounds like it means more now than it did before. And it's also one of my all-time favorite songs. Actually, ALL of Creedence is favorite music for me. Pretty much every single … Continue reading THERE’S A BAD MOON RISING – Creedence Clearwater Revival – Marilyn Armstrong

THE ARRANGEMENT – Marilyn Armstrong

FOWC with Fandango — Arrangement This is one of "those words" which means so many things on so many levels it is hard to know exactly where to start. Most typically, in my world, it is "common parlance" for a couple whose marriage isn't going well, but who would prefer to avoid a divorce. Often, it … Continue reading THE ARRANGEMENT – Marilyn Armstrong

THE SILVERY MOON – Marilyn Armstrong

RDP#57: MOON From "Romeo and Juliet" - William Shakespeare ROMEO: But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. Be not … Continue reading THE SILVERY MOON – Marilyn Armstrong

You can’t say we weren’t warned

THE SHINBONE STAR

One of the pleasures of my morning commute is to listen to comedian-activist Stephanie Miller’s radio show on Sirius XM (Progress). She often begins with a review of whatever shenanigans Putin’s Poodle (PP) has fouled the White House with overnight.

She seldom has been left hanging, from the continued assaults on the the First Amendment, the Fourth Amendment — hell, most of the Amendments outside the Second Amendment, which is the one the president thinks will save him when his base comes out roaring and armed to keep him in power.

It’s a sad fact that PP’s hopes have been reduced to a complicit Congressional Republican majority, and a deplorable base. And there’s a good chance that come November, the first of those hopes will be voted out of office.

CANINE PSYCHOLOGY – BY ELLIN CURLEY

I've had a lot of dogs -- and I've learned a few things, mostly from the trainers with whom I've worked. The most important thing I've learned about dogs is they can't and don't think like humans. We tend to anthropomorphize them and attribute motives to them of which they are incapable. For example, most … Continue reading CANINE PSYCHOLOGY – BY ELLIN CURLEY
