13: What’s Up Doc?
1. I’m happy to be home where the carrots grow, where the day’s work is making pesto and the sweet potatoes fresh out of the ground marks the start of Thanksgiving.
2. I dreamt that I couldn’t tell the difference between Joe’s almond butter and his sunflower butter. In fact, I couldn’t taste either and feared it was the first symptom of COVID.
3. Last night’s debate: I thought a bouncer might have to come and escort Trump out!
4. THIS is Uplifting to me.
5. Will pro-life Americans who want Roe v. Wade overturned accept a dictatorial government to get it?
6. For the first time I’m a one-issue voter: Authoritarianism vs Democracy.
7. Oh, deer!
8. Avid or rabid?
9. Moon Ladle: The moon’s nourishing light / is a night staple / like food on the table / the first phase is set.
10. Living life to the fullest till the end usually means lots of doing and going, but to me it means having meaningful insights, which can be done without doing or going anywhere.
11. I think I should be buried with a notebook and pen resting in hand.
12. “Sometimes when you’re in a dark place you think you’ve been buried, but you’ve actually been planted.” Christine Caine
13. How writing a poem is like doing a crossword puzzle: It Takes a Lucky Break HERE.

#5 OMG I might change my opening comment on every post to say if 200,000 deaths in America doesn’t bother you but abortion does, you’re not pro-life.
How does a cult following be reached? Reason has no place in their thinking?

I don’t have your email… the show Travels with my father is on Netflix.
I’d love to learn how to even start with shopping a slice of life essay for publishing. I write… have had people publish my essays in their newsletters but don’t know how to start. If you ever have time to direct me in even a small way, my address is

Too bad a bouncer didn’t show up. It would have been fitting.

10 I aspire to. Thanks for the reminder. #5 they will and call themselves good Christians while they doom us. Thank you for the poems, the smiles, and I’m off to visit the links to some of what I’ve missed recently.
