    What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?

    Humor sometimes.

    I was writing an essay yesterday.

    The first paragraph is my writing.

    The second must have picked up by a phone conversation in the other room mixed with one with my son in Berlin.

    There was a social event in our neighborhood that I didn’t really want to go to. It was a meeting where we argued over large subjects such as how many trees to plant in the park and what vendor we should hire to refill the dogs poop bags. Our agenda today was to check the speed bumps over on Lincoln Road.

    Hey, are you home? Call go how was the flight? How long was it? That’s not bad. How much did that cost you? Just just curious what do you remember? What airline are you serious? No wow that’s pretty cool. That was she says on the phone with her friend from Connecticut

    There is Always Iowa

    What’s a country that’s at the top of your bucket list?

    You know what is really cool when your kids get to a bucket list country before you do. My son is an extraordinary skateboarder and got a sponsored trip to Albania.

    He enjoyed the trip tremendously. Another trip our kids relished was to Turkey.

    Prices are cheap right now. Nobody wants to fly to the United States. Tell my wife and I book a trip to Turkey and Albania, and it was rather inexpensive.

    I’m looking forward to it.

    Here is a trip. I just learned about this weekend. It makes me a little teary, even thinking about it.

    But then again, I’ve never been to Iowa and maybe I will someday.

    October 2026 -Voting

    I honestly expected this to be a very chaotic month.

    I handed in my ballot today.

    I never thought the election would come true as I thought the current regime would declare a state of emergency for some made up emergency.

    I have done my part wishing I could do more.

    Why don’t we get right to the point and impeach Trump.

    He has committed treason many times over.

    Treason used to be death be firing squad

    I would not watch.

    That’s barbaric.

    As is this regime.

    Don’t let them scare you get out there and do your job and vote.

    La Rutina

    Tell us about your morning routine.

    Today I am heading to the airport, with my wife, and I reflected how it wouldn’t be a lot of fun to be back in the morning routine.

    I get up, do some German lessons and go for a run. Being retired, I have no routine I must adhere to.

    Was hast du Gemacht

    If aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them?

    We are making a myopic center of the world assumption here that aliens would speak the same language that we do and I believe that would be a one in 8 trillion possibility. Eventually, we would figure something out, but I’m not sure they would stay long enough seeing how much of a mess we’ve made of this planet.

    I would ask this.

    Zibble-wobble flim flam, glorious space-potato, why does your squiggly-wiggle snoot-boop the gravitational cheese-grater of our third-rock bouncy ball?”

    I believe this works in German

    „Zibble-Wobble-Schwindel, herrliche Weltraumkartoffel, warum stupst du mit deiner verschnörkelten Schnauze gegen die Schwerkraft-Käsereibe unseres hüpfenden Balls, dem dritten Planeten?“
