Between Wars

The measure of the difference between a good guy and a bad guy is small by my estimation. Why not push it? Overtip. Apologise right away. Pet every dog and smile at every stranger. Oh, they'll make fun of you. If you're American, think Mr. Rogers.

Now, I know that this is a serious case of "do as I say, not as I do." I've got good intentions, though. I've got bad ones, too, but that's another blog.

Travel Plans For Staying At Home

Everybody in England talks about the weather. It's raining. What a fine, civilised place!

I brought a lot of junk over here. Probably wouldn't do that again.

We stay busy working on making memories. In fact, that's my life's work. I recommend it.

Give us peace on earth and end this dreadful, dreadful war.

Sea Pickles!

Oh, if I knew now what I knew then, I'd know it all. I do know this- every minute that you spend worrying or hating is a minute wasted. Just remember, they're not the boss of us. You're not breaking any laws by loving this world. 

If the politics and the culture and the religion that you grew up with aren't serving to make this a better place for everyone, check out. Start your own. Establish your currency tied to love. When cryptocurrency is down and the dollar struggles, huggin' and kissin' go through the roof.

Run for emperor and don't bother telling anyone. You'll win. Think what it will do for your self-esteem.

Be more like your dog, that's my advice.

Give us peace on earth and end this dreadful, dreadful war.

My Sell-By Date

We're waiting for company. Well, it's my cousin, George, and his wife, Isabel, so it's not really company, I suppose. It's visitors, though, with news from the outside world. Oh, I poke through the New York Times and The Guardian every morning, but we don't have much real contact with folks out there worrying about the economy and nuclear annihilation and political upheaval. 

How can my timing have been so incredibly impeccable?

Fools are taken care of. Go where the love is.

Give us peace on earth and end this dreadful, dreadful war.
