A shared page for my good friend in Colorado.

Current Status (updated 4/24/26)

It’s been almost 2 months since I last updated my status page. Too much in play lately with many other priorities taking over my routine. I really have nothing to update on my status at this time except it’s status quo. Essentially, every day is another opportunity to put out fires and deal with a long list of high priority items that have been lingering for a long time. But I spend all my time dealing with matters that will not go away until I deal with them directly. I am getting no help from anyone, and in some cases, others have become obstacles in making progress. But that’s life, and as long as I have another day, progress will be made. Eventually, I will get to where I need to be as long as I have enough days and maintain the ablity to check off the boxes. My status doesn’t change much as each day is similar to the last - rinse and repeat.

Often at the end of the day, I decompress with a home cooked meal, a glass of wine, and a little YT viewing of videos that are fed to me that I find extremely interesting. Google knows me better than I do which is a bit disconcerting. But it is what it is until I can find a way to ween myself off big tech instrusion into our lives.

I found this video to be very entertaining as it illustrates how much LA and California have been destroyed by the people in charge. It’s so pathetic that you almost need to find the humor in what is going on to avoid becoming a mental case. Every day brings another day of chaos, and I cannot escape it for now. All I can do is try to survive and work around all the crap and hopefully avoid getting personally involved in all the mayhem. It has literally taken me nearly three years to recover from the assault on Memorial day 2023.

So many thoughts went through my head when I viewed the video below. I’ll just end with the following. It Mae be Wong, but isn’t it better to have a pole on your head rather than your head on a pole? I decided to title the video ‘Wong Pole Longer’. I’m here all week.

Content to be added soon... But here is a preview of things to come.

Corn Pop was a bad dude
And he ran a bunch of bad boys
Hey, Ester, you!
Off the board or I'll come up and drag you off
I got a lot
Hairy legs
That turn blond in the sun
And the kids used to come, rub my legs down
So it was straight
And then watch the hair come back up again
I learned about kids jumping on my lap
And I love kids jumping on my lap
-Biden

Updates

8/15/20 - It was great to hear from you. Really hard to believe that the reunion was a year ago. As I mentioned, the year went by in a flash but so many things happened as well. Adjusting to life without a car was, of course, a major impact with wide ranging consequences. Getting to and from my parents place was nearly an 8 hour ordeal which did not leave much time to take care of things with them. It pretty much has been a nightmare situation, but I'm trying to make it until October. At that point, it's on to phase two which I have no idea what to expect. It's a day at a time.

Sorry to hear about the problems with your car. Fortunately, you can walk to work in a pinch. Funny that I may have a solution to your car situation. But I'll have to text you for those details.

Your job really does put you at risk for the COVID. I hope you are able to stay safe. It seems to be Russian roulette, so you may get the COVID and not even know it to being severely ill or worse. I hear that people in the health care field on the front lines have very good immune systems given their exposure to crap every day, so hopefully you are well protected. Hang in there. I hope you are finding some fulfillment from your job. My next job has to be a job that I enjoy doing or else I will just have to throw in the towel. At that point, I may just vote along with all the liberals who want handouts - lol. Before I would sell out to the other side, I would find a way to quietly go away.
