I’d like to start with wishing ALL
Mother’s a HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!! Regardless of how you got those
kids… Biological, step, adopted… Enjoy them! I know this year
is different from most with social distancing. If you’ve got
little ones, they’re probably driving you crazy by now. If you’ve
got grown ones, their little ones are driving -them- crazy, along
with you. It’s time for all dads to STEP UP! Skip the “breakfast
in bed” routine. Mushy cereal, eggs (I’m -not- going to describe
some that I’ve been served), sodden toast and limp bacon are not a
pleasant meal to wake up to. DADS!!! Take the kids and let Mommy
sleep in and -enjoy- some peace and quiet! Leaving a bottle of wine
and some roses would be a nice touch. Just saying.
The local news is scant, at best.
“Covington to make decision on Stars
and Stipes Fest” coming up. To be announced. The deadline for the
decision is May 18th. Will there be a 4th of
July celebration? Will it be delayed, or cancelled? We don’t know
yet. The City and the County are both as wishy-washy. The school
system, too. I don’t feel like we have any local leadership
anymore, or anything to count on.
One that broke my heart was the Newton
Citizen almost -begging- for help. They’re asking for
subscriptions (I have one) and/or donations. I -hope- it doesn’t
go under. I rely on my Citizen almost as much as my TPC!
Warm wishes go out to -ALL- our
soon-to-be high school graduates! Even if you don’t walk the walk,
you EARNED it! I hope you celebrate, and I welcome you to the adult
world, such as it is. If you’ve made it this far the stars are
there for your grasping. Reach out, grab one, and hold on tight!
The world is yours to grasp now. GRAB it!
Until next week…
