13: For Sale
1. When Your Grandkids turn your house into a Farmers Market.
2. And not only do you let them, but you set up a play lemonade stand.
3. I just realized while googling the PBS News Hour that David Brook’s and Mark Shields’s last names spell Brooke Shields.
4. Living daily with the chaos and danger of Trump has me realizing what it must feel like to be a battered woman in a relationship she can’t get out of.
5. Hunter Thompson’s suicide note to his wife was titled “Football Season is Over” – “No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your (old) age. Relax — This won’t hurt.”
6. I’m someone who could care less about watching the Super Bowl but cares enough about language to want to know why it’s called that.
7. Suggestions for the name that didn’t catch on were “The Big One” and “Pro Bowl,” (drawing on the idea of the bowl-shaped stadiums for the bowl part). Finally, it was decided to call the game “The AFL-NFL World Championship Game.” That was the official name for the first game, played on Jan. 15, 1967. But that name was too cumbersome and a mouthful to say. Lamar Hunt, the main founder of the American Football League and owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, was the person who came up with the term “Super Bowl,” after watching his son play with a toy called a “Super Ball.”
8. Is it the voice of God-within / that gives me clues in dreams? / that grades my day /by scores at night / that lives a double life? – Read Dream Journal in its entirety HERE.
9. Wade is a heavy hitter with an honest and raw delivery. Her Americana rock in the tradition of country storytelling doesn’t shy away from outlaw topics “… Mamma said don’t go taking no candy from strangers / she never said nothing ‘bout shots from boys…” But she also wears her heart on her sleeve “… I don’t know what’s wrong with me / but you came along and I finally see / what type of love I know need…” – More from my Floyd Press story on Morgan Wade and The Stepbrothers HERE.
10. It seems fitting that 9-11 also says 911.
11. Groundhog sees Jungian shadow, predicts everlasting winter of the soul – Read all about it HERE.
12. 2018 is like a blank check. What will I write on it?
13. Is THIS cheating?

I have always felt when the GOP are in control that it is like living in a house with an alcoholic male. I feel battered by them every day.
