Be Kind Online
I make a good effort to be kind online. However, some things people say need to be challenged, but that can be done without being a total jerk. Some of the comments I see online are really inappropriately cruel. It’s the security of an always on connection to the Internet and a keyboard that makes being mean possible. It’s important that we are all human beings. Be kind to one another, but remember to focus on justice and peace for everyone above all. Love and grace to us all.
My Fedora Experiment Has Ended
I used Fedora KDE for a few days, and it seemed that it was a little buggy. There was an issue with integrating Google Mail, calendar, and drive with it seamlessly. Linux Mint, my long-time distribution, does all of that without a problem. I am using the Cinnamon desktop variation, and it’s well-equipped and feature rich.
I am glad to be back with something I feel comfortable with and has an old school feel about it. Experimenting with something new is always a good thing to do to flex your mind and muscles. Linux Mint is going to release distribution upgrade soon.
Our Resident Rooster
OK, we have a wild rooster who has taken up residence in our neighborhood. It’s a beautiful bird who we have given the name of “Rocky”. Every morning it lets the neighborhood know the sun is coming up and also has other things to say. I don’t mind it being among us. It’s breaks up the craziness of the world we find ourselves in. Rock on Rocky!
Today Is My Birthday! I Am Thankful For 56 Wacky Years
August 29, 2025, I turned 56 years old. I will tell you that aging ages a man. Seriously, I am grateful for all the years I have been gifted. Today I reflect on what has been and what I hope will come in the future. I don’t always feel worthy, but I do appreciate all of those I have shared this life with. Thank you to my family and friends who put up with me. Let’s hope for more wacky fun down the road. Happy Birthday to me!
The Swift-Kelce’s – An Engagement For The Ages
I admit, I am a bit of a Swiftie. Taylor Swift is a generational talent who has worked hard for her success. She is a songwriter, performer, actor, philanthropist, and producer. It was announced today that she and Kansas City Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce who is also a solid entertainer are engaged to be married. That news sent the Interwebs into overdrive today.
I find this to be a needed joyful moment, considering how much we need joy right now. It shouldn’t be up to a young engaged couple, no matter their celebrity, to lift the spirits of millions of people. But in the situation that exists in America it’s what will lift spirits and spark imagination.
They are a lovely modern couple. They have been together for two years and have weathered her box office breaking Eras Tour and his trips to the Super Bowl. Guys, who have a problem with her, get over it. She has done a lot for the game of Football by bringing her Swifties along for the ride.
I think it’s great they are taking the next step. I think their wedding is going to be a significant cultural event, but hopefully it will be what they want it to be, a time to celebrate a couple tying the knot. God bless them both as they enter into their marriage, which is way more important than the wedding. Let’s hope They Are Ready For It.
