Sundays and John Oliver

 


I have been appreciably happier on the last two Sundays and, although the days ARE getting longer and even the colder days are getting warmer, I realized, on the 58th day of 2022, that it's because John Oliver is back in my life.  Yes, my Two for 2022 for 2/27/2022 is Sundays and John Oliver.  I listed to a lot of comedians discuss the news.  In the mornings I listen to Seth Myers or Jimmy Kimmel (or even James Corden) while I get ready for the day.  I make sure that I listen to Bill Maher's show, and hear the issues debated and his take on the events of the day.  BUT, the person who I think has the best grip on issues, and lays them out (with the help of his staff) using humor, facts, wit (which is different than humor, in my book), and a razor sharp delivery is John Oliver.  He's back now, and his first two shows have been must-watch in my opinion.  If you do not have HBO, find a way to see his shows on YouTube.  And, please, politicians, please listen to him.  He may be a comedian, but he speaks the truth!

Facebook and Memories

  I know a lot of people who have given up on Social Media.  And, yes, I concur that the FB business model is filled with issues and shadiness.  But, on a rough day at work on 4/20/2022, I looked at my FB feed and a memory came up that made me beam with joy.  You all probably can see the memory below, on the 110th day of 2022, of when Alexa hit two homeruns in a softball game and Sarah got them both on video and Collingswood won 13-7.  Well, it was not a lot, but it got me through today with a smile on my face.  So I have thanks for my two for 2022 for tonight, Facebook and Memories.  Days like today are what keep me on the platform (well that and my need for this nightly reflection!)  Good Night all and may your memories be happy!

UD and Family Weekend

Image
What a day the 274th day of 2022 has been.  Started off, where Anna was LAST year at the PTA Mum Sale for Collingswood High School.  A cold and wet sale that, although it did not sell as many we had hope we would, but the teamwork, camaraderie, and good humor amongst the myriad of volunteers made the time go fast (except for 7-9AM :-) ).  THEN, it was on to where Anna is now, and the Two for 2022 for 10/1/2022: UD and Family Weekend!  The Delaware Football Team won and is 5-0.  We got to see Kassidy and the Presses, I finally got to see Anna's dorm room (it looks really nice!), meet Anna's roommates, and check out the campus when students are actually present.  And we capped off the evening with some shopping, and dinner, at the Christiana Mall.  Anna seems to be really enjoying her time at UD and I am proud of her for her hard work and pursual of a career in K-6 education.  It was also really neat to see Family Weekend from another side, at a dif...
