He must decide if he can find meaning in a world where all the rules have been rewritten, where the unexpected becomes the new normal. Mr. Rodriguez stands at a digital crossroads, controller in hand, pondering his fate.

My sister has a possum (opossum) as a pet. Wild animals absolutely shouldn't be kept as pets...but darn if he wasn't the sweetest little guy. Oh my gosh. I got to possumsit and he was as docile and friendly as a lazy cat. We ate tomatoes together, a real bonding moment.

Call me bold, but I've been putting vinegar on everything lately. I can see why it's been enjoyed for thousands of years. It's not very pleasant on its own, but it slaps when added to things: sandwiches, salads, rice, noodles, potatoes, vegetable soup, macaroni; the list continues probably. I've become Muriel from Courage the Cowardly Dog.

There's a line from Book I of Virgil's Georgics that really spoke to me. Depending on the translation, it goes something like: "The first rule of farming is to never expect an easy way". On the surface, the Georgics is a dusty old poem about farming instructions, but it's secretly a book about dealing with the inevitable misfortunes of life. You know, some things are just out of our control. You can do everything right, and a storm can still barge in and tear it all down. We can't control the weather, but we can control how we respond to it. The Georgics have a lot in common with the much more recent Serenity Prayer. Maybe you've heard it: "Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference". Both are about the importance of knowing and accepting our limits and having the resilience to press on through life's many challenges. Also, if you just want to know what type of wood to build your plough out of, Virgil is your guy!

If you're still with me, thank you. I think you're pretty cool. You numba one :-)

This desk has just been sitting in the carport for over a year now. I declare it my office! It's a nice little outdoor place to sit, read, do whatever. Just needs some tidying up.
