It Feels Like Summer

So the start of this week ended up with me having a flu/cold.  I'm not even sure how I've gotten over this so quick save that tonight we are headed to a Lindsey Stirling concert, and I didn't want to be a zombie during it.  Maybe that was part of it, or else it was the juice, water, and drugs that have helped me over the edge to the other side of "less sick", but hopefully this will be gone by next week--fingers crossed.

Having One of "Those" Days

I am conflicted, and I can't find the right words to tell you all, in any coherent manner, why that's the case.  It has something to do with money, greed, beliefs, hypocrisy, propaganda, and a lot of other ideas that only somehow make sense in my head.  But when I try to put them here in this space, they sound clichéd and wrong.

So rather than leave you with a less-than-coherent, whimsical rant, I want to say something that I hope will make the most sense of it all that I can:

There is not a one-size-fits-all solution.

And then, just to make things complicated:

KISS -- Keep it simple, stupid.

Pieces of the Puzzle, Threads in the Weave

So...it's Friday.  I have a ton of things still left to do before we head out for the weekend, and while I can't say I have a theme for today, I had a lot of them spinning around in my head depending on what I was reading or looking at.  The truth is, though, that today is just kind of a mish-mash of things that I was interested in; so, I hope you can continue putting pieces of the puzzle of me together, or weaving a broader picture of who I am by the things you see here.

An Interesting News Day

While yesterday was sort of quiet along the news front, today seems to be shaping up as a day of action.  From resolutions about Ukraine to a conviction in Qatar, these stories I'm going to share with you highlight what I believe to be some pretty important news.  So put on your serious faces and your thinking caps.  We're about to embark on a news journey.
