• We went to watch The Ridgefielld Raptors tonight . It was a rather steamy night yet comfortable with the southwest Washington breeze blowing in.. There were a few hecklers, yet still a mellow family evening. The crescent moon was a bonus.

    A few years back we took our Dad to a game in Hillsboro. My Dad got up out of his seat to go smoke a cigarette. While he was away, a vicious line drive off the bat hit right in the middle of the seat where my Dad vacated. The ball left a visible mark in the metal seats.

    It was a rare instance where smoking is good for you.

    Then I work on self esteem.when I am not my best self, it whittles away at my self esteem. That includes being a good citizen of the planet, being a good parent and partner.

    Then I am ready to do some self actualizing. And that is where I feel most comfortable

    It’s time for people of color

    To be absolutely pissed off

    And burn down this for

    Profit

    dog and pony show.
