There are certain positions in which I would prefer the individual in charge to be boring.

The President of the United States tops the list .

I want newscasts full of filler material because there's nothing of substance to report.

No news is good news.

Not happening with this idiot.

I once thought mental health issues were synonymous with being weak minded.

Wrong.

If there has been a benefit to the travails I've experienced over the past few months, it's the realization that no one is immune to depression, anxiety and other mental health related issues.

So fired up to be moving back to Washington. Purchased a lot in Sequim with Olympic Mountain views.

Home should be ready in late summer or early fall.

Will miss family and friends in Texas but very little else, especially the allergies and MAGA infestation.

How you treat people is always your ultimate legacy.

Nothing else matters.

Always easy to spot a good person who helps those who can't help them.

Y'all have a blessed rest of your Wednesday and go Kraken.

Sounds incredible! We're seriously contemplating moving back to Washington full-time. This place is way too MAGA infested for us. Plus the allergies wear me out.

We bought a lot in Sequim and are having a custom built manufactured home placed on the property.

Take care!

When young, you often don't care enough

When old, you often care too much.

Life is funny that way.

That sounds horrific my friend. I swear they're on every channel I watch other than ESPN Plus

The absolute worst part of living in Texas has nothing to do with the excessive heat or being in allergy Hell.

Rather it's the excessive bombardment of pro MAGA candidate ads every time I turn on the TV to watch sports.

We moved back for the grandchildren, but going back to Wa. full time soon.

The only criteria I look for in any individual is being a decent human.

Common interests and anything else are useless if that standard is not met.

It's not that hard to be a good person.

Y'all have a blessed Sunday.

The biggest internal battle I face every day is staying educated and informed vs. the internal anger, angst, depression and disgust that accompanies doing so.

Back in Port Angeles for a few days.

I โ™ฅ๏ธ everything about western Washington except maybe the gas prices

โ™ฅ๏ธ the people who've welcomed a pair of Texans with open arms

โ™ฅ๏ธ the unparalleled beauty

โ™ฅ๏ธ the passion for their sports teams

Leaving for Port Angeles Wednesday and distancing myself from the world for a few days.

It's pretty much a necessity for my well-being. The anger over Trump destroying the country and the sadness of those condoning it has my anxiety in overdrive.

I'll be back on for college โšพ

Saturday

1. Don't be the "I told you so" person. If you're right, others will point it out for you

2. Those who dwell on the words "should have, could have and would have" are destined for misery

3. Wave at those doing chores outside when you're driving. Makes them happy

What I would love to change most about my personality is caring too much about things I can't control.

Rough 2 days. Found out last night a close childhood friend passed away from cancer.

Today learned that a close friend and workout colleague from my Hebron days died from injuries sustained from being hit by a car while riding his bike.

Both gone too soon. Hug your loved ones.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the world's most disgusting, morally corrupt, vindictive, childish, arrogant, lying, narcissistic person should be President of the United States.

Every year I get Christmas cards and greetings from former students.

Every year I'm honored and flattered they still remember me.

As a retired educator it's always more important what they do AFTER leaving your classroom.

A lot of things have disappointed me over the years - people, sports, and failed business matters

But nothing compares to individuals I held in the highest regard who still support Donald Trump

Withdrawing your support doesn't make you a Democrat, It makes you a decent person

Jamming out and scooting around the house to the exquisite music of legendary Diana Ross this morning.

Think the wife is afraid to come out of her room in fear of what she may witness.
