The first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere arrives with the solstice this year on Friday, June 20, 2025, 10:42 p.m. EDT. With Summer comes fun and sun and weird weather. Let’s stay cool as the heat warms all around us. Remember to hydrate because it’s good for you, and try not to get sunburned.
Meanwhile, I will be counting down the days until my favorite season, which is Fall.
There is a lot of rebuilding needed in America. Imagine if those soldiers marching in a totally unnecessary and costly parade on Saturday, were put in communities to restore and renew places like Western North Carolina after being destroyed by a hurricane, what good could happen. But sure, feed the stupid ego of a man who has no honor or no idea of service to others. It’s nuts if you ask me.
Today is May 4th. This is Star Wars Day. A day to honor one of the greatest movie franchises ever. It’s a high-holy day for geeks and nerds to celebrate The Force/Fourth of May. These movies introduced us to Darth Vader, Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C3PO, R2D2 and of course Yoda.
In these days, we have real Empire and real Rebels fighting for the future. I know what side I am on.

Watching The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes because it’s a fictional dystopia vs. real life dystopia. This origin story of President Snow and the early days of the Hunger Games is a cautionary tale and shouldn’t be a plan for the future. It’s about fascism and injustice. This movie is a great prequel to the original Hunger Games movies.
The wise thing to do is to prepare for the unexpected.
I had a meet cute with this fellow named Frankie. A couple of days later he went home with us as our new dog. It’s been a good setup ever since. Thanks to The Humane Educational Society for making this happen.
