Cinco de Mayo

On this “Cinco de Mayo”, some think of tacos and alcohol, but I ponder about developments at work, my mental health struggles, and how far I’ve come in dealing with those struggles.

April Update

Just random thoughts to end the month of April.

Text Message

The first text message was sent nearly 30 years ago. With smartphones and unlimited texting now ubiquitous, why do some people still use “text speak”?

Side Effects

The coronavirus vaccine, like all drugs, has its side effects. They’re worse for some than others. Here I lay out what I experienced with my two-dose Moderna vaccine.

On Trial

The death of George Floyd in 2020 resulted in riots, like the release of a pressure cooker. The former officer who kneeled on Floyd’s neck was on trial recently, and found guilty.

Gunfight

Lockdowns are ending and semi-normalcy seems to be resuming. So are the frequent media-covered shootings and the debate about gun control.

Masks, Revisited

Utah’s mask mandate ended a week ago, but some places still require them. Masks are loved or hated. They’re slowly going away, but they won’t go without a fight.

_______ Lives Matter

Does the Black Lives Matter group think black lives are the only ones that matter? Do anyone else’s lives matter?

Nightmare

Business is booming and work is crazy busy. Long shift plus stress equals horrible nightmares.

Easter

Easter Sunday, day of remembrance of Christ for some; a day of candy and bunnies for many. It’s also another retail cash grab from our wallets.
