I have a hard time accepting the criticism of the media for “not calling out Trump’s cognitive decline” because I don’t think he was ever smart or sharp in the first place. Just because you’re catching up that he’s an idiot doesn’t make it news. I’d be happier if the media reported on the fact that he’s grossly unqualified to be president because he’s dumber than a box of rocks and a total sociopath. Dementia has fuck all to do with it.

John Lennon was only 40 when he was murdered. That’s so crazy.

Donald Trump is bored with campaigning because his depolarables are bored with his act and he only ever had the one weak act.

I’m reading Anne of Green Gables. I’m such a sap. I love it. Started working on a new piece of writing inspired by it. My father loved the 1985 series with Megan Follows. I’m trying to figure out exactly what it was. He was a kindred spirit. #AnneOfGreenGables

First day of school. #BackToSchool

The grackles have descended. It’s like Hitchcock’s “The Birds” around here.

This is admittedly a pathetic complaint, but now is the time of year when the rising sun shines in my eyes while it sit in my office chair in the morning. I realize it’s not the tragedy that many others face, such as bombs and starvation, but it can be somewhat irritating.

I don’t have a clever way to say it just this second, but I’m constantly astounded by how despicable Trump is and how little his followers care. It blows my mind. Truly. “You really can’t see that?”

It’s 57° right now, sunny and still. The high today will be just 74°. Humidity hovering around 50%. A glorious day, and not a bad first day at school. It will get hot and sticky again before the fun is done, but wow, what a start. A back yard day for me and the wife. Maybe a little fire.
