here we go

 Ever get up at 5 a.m. to watch a ball game?


    I have not either.  Luckily, Comcast kept replaying the Cub game all through the day.

    They played the Dodgers in Tokyo, hence the 5 a.m. start for us in Illinois.

    So, I suffered through a 4-1 loss.  Crappy way. to open the season, eh?

    At least the Bears are still undefeated in 2025.

    Julia is moving to Oregon.  The city, not the state.

    A couple of days ago I ran across a Yahoo article that ran in Rolling Stone. 

    It seems there was/is  a church in Oregon considered as a cult!  Really!  Tiny Oregon.

    It started in 1981 and continues today.  Funny thing, I was working at the Life newspaper in 1981 but never heard a whisper.  I did leave the paper that year, so maybe I just missed it.  Or as a journalist, I just missed the story.

    If you get a chance try finding it on line.  It was kind of scary.  Title was something like How a cult church took over a small midwestern town.

    I told Julia not to accept any invitations to attend a local church, not that she wouldanyuway.

    I am almost embarrassed t say this, but for the first time in 8 days we had a home cooked meal.  I made brats and carrots while Julia made mac and cheese.  It felt good to eat home cooked food, although the meal wasn't terribly healthy.  Except for the carrots.  I love. carrots.  I grew them.

      And for the first time in many months, I went to a Rotary meeting!  I think I called everyone by the right name, but there is always a chance I did not.

    3 former students are in the club.  I did not have all of them in my class, but I did have all of them for social studies since I taught that for both fifth grades.

    It's nice to see the "kids" grown up and doing well.

    Speaking of doing well, in the past 4 days we have had high winds, 80 degree temps, rain, and snow.  It's like Mother Nature has become bi-polar.  I think I heard rain, thunderstorms, windy and more snow over the next few days.

    I think the planet is telling us something.

Peace and Love
