No Bread and Wine for You
So, the Vatican declares that Catholic politicians who are pro-choice should not receive communion. What about pedophiles? Can they still get communion?

Food Is a Drug!
Brain scans of subjects who smelled and tasted foods like ice cream, hamburgers, pizza, and such had the same reactions as drug addicts when craving drugs. The study says the same brain circuits get activated. Now, for the War on Food! Get ready for interdiction of chocolate from Switzerland, pasta from Italy, and well nothing from England, because their food is so bad.

Ye Shall Be Like Unto A Serpent
Last night Nana was letting the dogs out for the last time before bed, when she saw a snake on our back porch. She came and got me from upstairs. She was scared to death! She was breathing hard and shaking. Anyway, we couldn't find the snake, but the dogs could smell it, and I had to get them to go on out the door. She called to tell me that Papa found the snake on the back porch in the corner where all that junk is by the screen door. She wanted me to know that she wasn't seeing things. I didn't accuse her of seeing things, but she brought it up this morning. She thought that maybe it had just been a "vision." I didn't think it was because the dogs went straight over there smelling all around. If they hadn't done that, then of course I would have thought she was having visions.

Barely Treading Water
I have a deadline looming, that's becoming harder and harder to meet. I made a committment yesterday that I could have something finished by the close of business on Thursday. Now, I find out that what I thought I had left to do was only part of it! Ay que la chingada! Oy vey, and all those other phrases of distress! God help me.

Figment
This morning Papa came out of his room saying that he felt very good, and that he had slept better than he had in a long time. He said he woke up once, having to go to the bathroom, and noticed that there was a woman in his room dancing. She was moving around and casting her shadow on the wall. Nana asked him if she was young (what does that tell ya?), and he said yes. I asked if she had on any clothes (what does that tell ya?), and he said yes she had on some orange kind of pants. He said he just got up and walked right by her on his way to the bathroom, and just ignored her. When he came back, she was gone. I told him that she probably got mad and left because he was ignoring her, he said, "Yeah, she probably did." He said he had taken a pain pill and figured that's why he had that dream. Hmmm...he's got some Vicodin...

Spring Fever or Something More?
Ever since spring started I've been thinking more and more often about leaving this line of work, or leaving work altogether. Now, that could be because it's spring fever. But, my experience in past years is different. This time I've been thinking a lot about retiring. It just has a different feel this time. I can't exactly retire and draw my pension yet, but...oh well.
