  • No Out Bird

    No Out Bird

    By Andrea Menzies

    No going out for me this weekend. Internet friends were meeting me at a concert and music night in Maryland, and I was going to be free as a bird. Yet I have gone back to school, and have several papers due this week. Going back to night school means cutting back on fun, and not just saying you are making good grades online. Guess I am going to be an angry bird for a while.

  • Smart Ironic

    Smart Ironic

    By Andrea Menzies

    There is no such thing as a person who NEVER makes mistakes even if they make few mistakes on school papers and tests. It is always ironic that people good at school are called “smart” people. The professor on the TV show Gilligan’s Island could make an energy plant out of coconuts but he could not fix a five foot hole in a boat. How weird is it that no one noticed that as the show was on TV for many years? The Far Side has a famous cartoon of a kid at an honors gifted school pushing a door that says pull. Many people have noticed that school work and perfection are far from the same thing. I am starting a new class for a Master’s Degree program tonight, and the irony of learning is really powerful every first day of class.

    Could not stop pushing the pull door.
    School uses up a life time.

    You must use time in a wise way to make good grades.

  • Tax Jokes

    Tax Jokes

    By Andrea Menzies

    I received no tax information from my teaching job so I have to go chase that down this week. The main office changed locations so that will be an additional challenge. Taxes must be filed by April 15th so the Internet is alive with hilarious government jokes this week.

    Luck of the IRS.
    Logic vs Taxes.
    The wealthy are the freeloaders.
    5 Horse-men of the end times.

  • Easter Bonfire

    Easter Bonfire

    By Andrea M

    Alexandria Menzies, and Anne Brockett, and I went to the Easter Mass at Saint Augustine Church. They had a bonfire, candles, and holiday music for the event. Then we ate Chinese food. I was having a bad spring break holiday due to pneumonia and needing to go to the hospital. I could not travel or see music with that going on. At least I was able to go to family dinner by the end of the break.

    Pneumonia Visit

    By Andrea Menzies

    I got pneumonia today, and had to go to the emergency room. Don’t wait too long to go to the hospital if you need it. I am going to use hand sanitizer every two seconds after this hassle. #2026 pneumonia visit

  • New Meetup

    New Meetup

    By Andrea M.

    The new Pokemon Go meetup group is here: https://discord.gg/KgaDbrmcf and here: https://cmpf.re/qpKF0y Note that this group is greatly an online group as many area people are busy with jobs, online, and in-person school in the area. I am super busy with all of these things most weekdays and weekends yet I like the meetings a couple of days a month. #2026PokemonGoParkMeetupChesterfieldVA

    Many thanks to the dog Bootsie for helping me visit the Pickleball court and bike 5 miles at the Pokemon Meetup today.
