Three

Write about something that annoys you-that really shouldn’t.

I really didn’t have something held in the drafts table for this. I miss things lately. Blame eyesight, blame MS brain fog, blame MAGA, The Russians, whatever.

I did have things, I though, wrapped up, but obviously not.

I beat myself up for mistakes. My wife experienced that just yesterday. But, with the end-of-the-world so often taken on any number of things lately, I guess it’s unsurprising.

Donald Trump is not an existential threat. Nor is climate change. Or any number of issues. Or gun violence. Or rich people not paying “their fair share.”

Just try to be the best person you can be, and let things go from there.

The Free Press is doing a thing on reading “the great books,” in an attempt to get people to chill out a bit. Very much respect this, but it’s difficult for me to participate with my affected reading ability.

But it is a good idea.

My dilemma is whether to engage people in presenting the biggest possible of catastrophe, or to just ignore them.

Nope, I’m really bad about it. I do want to hit them with the most extreme things they’ve said, and hold those things against them in perpetuity. Yes, that’s probably unhealthy, but I don’t know that there’s a good way to erase what gets seared into someone’s memory.

So, what else?

This truly is the nicest part of the year where I am at the moment. The approach into the airport yesterday afternoon was just about perfect. See the outlines of the barrier islands peeking through the slick-calm Gulf. Barely a breeze.

But back to what annoys me that probably shouldn’t?

Really failing on digging deep on this.

Maybe I’ll come up with something, but I am distracted.
