Music, Sports, Religion, Politics. How Did I Get Here? How Did I Get Here? Letting the days go by, I let the water hold me down. Born in the late Boom generation years, I discovered politics watching the House of Representatives Watergate hearings on TV after school. I thought Sam Ervin and Peter Rodino were cool. Created, wrote and edited the grammar school rag, The Daily Blab, with a focus on politics, sports and entertainment. I thought chicks liked smart kids at the time. Raised Catholic, raising my ...

Diplomatic Options | TheMSRP
https://themsrp.wordpress.com/2014/03/30/diplomatic-options
Music, Sports, Religion, Politics. How Did I Get Here? On March 30, 2014. As former part-time diplomat and full-time hipster doofus Cosmo Kramer once said during a heated foreign policy debate with his public servant nemesis, Newman: The Ukraine is weak! Now we know with historic certainty that Kramer was right. News of this perceived Ukrainian weakness must have reached shirtless despot Vlad Putin too, so he decided to be decisive. Isolation does not sound like punishment to a Russian. Feels more li...

adventures in overthinking: May 2014
http://overthinkingadventures.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
My journey to enlightenment. Tuesday, May 20, 2014. I have a lot of stuff rumbling around in my head, so if you're here, be warned: My mind is a crazy place. I often share too much, but in my family of origin no one talked about anything unpleasant. Everyone pretended everything was fine. You know how effed up fine is, right? Why did you talk so much when you should have been listening? What on earth made you tell that story? Why would you divulge THAT in a five minute exchange of pleasantries? When I am...

Tree the Snake: Where Are We Going With This?
http://treethesnake.blogspot.com/2012/06/where-are-we-going-with-this.html
Friday, June 15, 2012. Where Are We Going With This? So, I started this BLOG, and I wrote sort of an intro type post, and then I had no idea what to do next. I read other blogs, about kids or autism or homemaking or frugality or politics or religion or recipes or crafts or books or whatever and I tried to pick one for my topic. Then it hit me. I am all over the map, so why not just go with that? In the spirit of my newfound freedom, I offer the universe my fantastic tip for a sparkling clean bathroom!

Tree the Snake: Reincarnation and Other First Grade Topics
http://treethesnake.blogspot.com/2012/09/reincarnation-and-other-first-grade.html
Saturday, September 1, 2012. Reincarnation and Other First Grade Topics. Little Chicken has been talking about reincarnation a lot lately. I know; what the hell? She's six. Six-year-old children don't talk about that, do they? It's not the first time she has brought up the topic of death. She regularly asks us what happens when you die (I don't fucking know, kid, I'm alive! Keep playing, baby, it might be your only childhood! Is she paralyzed with anxiety about being left behind? If so, which religion?

Now Playing | TheMSRP
https://themsrp.wordpress.com/now-playing
Music, Sports, Religion, Politics. How Did I Get Here? Here you can listen to the most recent song that is stuck in my head. And now it will be stuck in yours:. I was late to the party in a full appreciation of The Smiths, but as time has gone on, the haunting vocals of Morrissey and the driving, rhythmic guitar of Johnny Marr has gotten deeper and deeper into my bloodstream. This tune has been playing in my head for a month now, and I don’t mind. My youngest daughter and I would watch old 80s music vide...

adventures in overthinking: November 2014
http://overthinkingadventures.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
My journey to enlightenment. Tuesday, November 18, 2014. I just wanted to take a minute to thank you, my friends, for reading, commenting and sharing your reactions to what I write. I'm really vulnerable and transparent in this little space, and you always make me feel less alone in my struggles. That's such a good feeling. Your kindness is an amazing blessing; thank you. Which is completely untrue. But I didn't communicate the rule change. Evidently feeling left out is a huge trigger for me because on a...

adventures in overthinking: Happy birthday, Harry O.
http://overthinkingadventures.blogspot.com/2015/07/happy-birthday-harry-o.html
My journey to enlightenment. Saturday, July 18, 2015. Happy birthday, Harry O. Today's my dad's birthday. He would be 99. Isn't that crazy? We would have had a big party. And he would laugh and tell inappropriate jokes and probably offend somebody. I'd offer him a drink, and he would ask for Turkey 101, which I kept a bottle of just for him. He wanted to live to be 106 to break the record of his oldest living relative because he was competitive as F$%K. He used to take me to baseball games at the old Cle...
