Tomorrow or Tuesday morning will be time to clean the sauna. Christmas Eve sauna prep even though it is summer in this hemisphere.

Vince Guaraldi “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is eternally my favorite Christmas album. I listen to it all year long actually.

Even convinced my daughter to learn to play Linus & Lucy. Not easy tune.

The algorithm on LinkedIn is feeding such BS. It has become just like the Book of Face and the former Bird S(h)ite. Blatant faked image with a long blah blah praising the Muskmelon.

Original photo is Mango Mussolini and Mitt Romney

Why isn’t The Warehouse here in NZ called the Wharehouse?

Or simply the Whare? Or better yet the Whare hokohoko?

Missed opportunity

I’m growing grapes (table grapes) and this year the vine is three years old, going crazy even after I cut it back fairly hard this past winter.

And… I love dolmas.

And.. you need grape leaves to make dolmas.

I have a plan!

Just watched “Oldboy” by Park Chan-wook. Once again thanks Kanopy and to the public library

That was an intense movie that I will be processing for a while.

Thank you, Richard Branson, for reminding the world

“Most people have never heard of the Budapest Memorandum and the important commitments enshrined in it. But if treaties like it cannot be relied on when relationships between nations sour, what other options does the world have left before it descends into anarchy or worse?”

Thinking a bit about what seems to be some fairly common thinking in the US and some of what I see on LinkedIn as well (has become a cesspool)

Somehow entrepreneurs and business people MUST be better at running government. Really? Why wouldn’t they stay in the business world and keep making money for themselves and their investors. So…what are their actually goals by getting into government and who are their investors?

I mailed my US election ballot from New Zealand one month ago, yet my country clerk’s office online systems says they still haven’t received it.

I wonder how many mail in ballots haven’t been received.

Sigh

There must be an amazing jazz gig going on in heaven with losing Quincy Jones, Lou Donaldson, and Roy Haynes all in the past week or so.
