Minister Of Mocha

I made that one up. As I was driving to the prison the other day I was listening to a podcast (Annie F. Downs interviewing Ben Rector, if you must know) and I misheard them say something that sounded like “doomlessly”. I just loved the idea of that being a thing. It can be very…

Last night was my penultimate night in Hawaii. Our main objective in being here was seeing family, but among the top hopes in the second tier objectives was the volcano. On our first night here it went ape with twin geysers of lava. However, the event was short lived, happening after we went to sleep…

I’ve been basking in the glow of the jungle for a week now. Mrs MoM celebrated her birthday last week and our older grandson celebrates his tomorrow. Well, hopefully he can celebrate, he’s been sick again all weekend and is currently staying home from school. When you look at him he looks like a pretty…

Last week your MoM went to see The Who on their “The Song is Over” North American Farewell Tour. I had never seen this particular band but wanted to. Once their bass player passed it felt a bit hollow, so I had demurred at previous opportunities. With both of the remaining guys being octogenarians I…

In one of my current Step Studies we have completed our Steps up to Step 8. Of course that means that we have done our Inventories.
