Pop Art Selfie

on May 02, 2024

Adobe is sunsetting Photoshop Camera and along with it the Pop Art filter. So no more crazy pop art selfies from me. You can thank Adobe 😁

"Homemade'ish" means a frozen pizza with some of my own toppings added. My preference is to start with a Giuseppe Thin Crust 4 Meat pizza from Dr. Oetker

March has been a big reading month for me

I don't remember any month that I've read so much, not even back in my high school days. Although, if you knew me in high school that wouldn't come as much of a surprise. This month I completed: 1) The Evening and the Morning by Ken Follett. 900 pages. 2) The Pillars of the Earth, also by Ken. Over 1,000 pages and, if you've read it, you know it was about 200 pages more than needed. 3) Everyone Here is Lying by Shari Lapena. 352 pages. 4) Standing in the Shadows by Peter Robinson. 268 pages. I've also been wading through Shanghai Grand by Taras Grescoe, and My Effin' Life by Geddy Lee. Both I intend to finish but I'm in no hurry. While I generally like historical fiction, going forward I'm going to try to stick to novels in the 300 to 500 page range. More than that and I find I start to lose interest. Although that didn't happen with Ken Follett's The Evening and the Morning. Happy reading.

Merry Christmas 🎄

Hurt Me If You Can

Some hurts don't go away. They start bad, and they stay bad. You don't learn to live with the pain. Ever. You live with it because you have to...period. Staying alive is the only thing that triumphs over some hurts. So you live. Not through it but with it. Every minute of every hour of every day. The hurt is always there. It becomes your comfort. You hurt and you know you are alive. You know you have beat the hurt. You know you can live in spite of it. You know you are better because of it. You know hurt and you know you are stronger. Invincible. So go ahead. Take your best shot. Hurt me if you can.
