I’m amazed by how good I feel today. The other day, I was pretty depressed and yesterday wasn’t much better. But today, man, today I’m all mellow and at peace.
I hate passive-aggressive speech, and I’m not a fan of sarcasm. These two languages often leave me confused and uncertain about how I should feel about what was said. I try not to use either of these when I talk.
I do, however, love metaphors, and I often speak metaphorically.
Ten innings, and Tigers win off Castro’s hit. The team had quite celebration on the field, but when the guys came to dump the cooler on Castro, he ran for the clubhouse.
Michigan lost the soccer game to Michigan State. 0-2.
As the regular season nears its end, I continue to watch the Detroit Tigers. They’re in last place, they have no hope of reaching the playoffs. But I remain a loyal fan and I will follow them to the end. The Tigers swept the Chicago White Sox over the weekend, now they’re playing the Kansas City Royals. There are two more series after the Royals.
The Cleveland Guardians. New York Yankees, Houston Astros, New York Mets, Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers are going to the playoffs. Of those teams, I would root for the Astros, Dodgers and Braves.
None of the teams in the National League Central have secured a playoff berth yet. The St. Louis Cardinals are leading there, but the Milwaukee Brewers have a chance of taking it. I’m rooting for the Brewers there.
It’s been one week since I took in Chester. Feels like it’s been longer than that. We’ve made a lot of progress over the last seven days. Since he’s been here, I feel that I’ve been happier. I’m having fewer outbursts and I haven’t felt depressed. Chester seems happy himself. I think he knows that he is my dog now and he will never have to change homes again.
Jude-Marie Green is a magnificent writer. Her stories have an incredible flow to them, and her use of the language is brilliant. She loves dogs and cats, and she knows the value of grandparents and stories.
Glorious Madness is a collection of fourteen stories, science fiction and fantasy. I was pleased with every one of them, and some of them touched my heart deeply, or broke it.
If I could ask Jude-Marie Green one question about this book, I would ask her how she came up with the idea to make storms the intelligent life on a planet. That was completely new to me. I never would have come up with something like that.
Impressive collection.
