As they say in combat, “Ya does what ya can, when ya can, with what ya gots. Ya can sort out the details later, if yer around to do so.”

There’s a lot to be said about saying it now while emotion gives it meaning. ‘Later’ may not happen and is lost.

Is this about someone in particular?

I listen to far too many podcasts, but I feel the presenters are all about as partnered as they ever were, and my googling has failed me.

I much prefer listening to music.

This strip is addressing the mental health issues in addition to the physical health issues that are exploding with the current climate, not something you can laugh off. Things got real this spring with the social distancing, the threat of covid-19 and the general mess. We are forced to deal with all of this and the toll it is exacting is steep. We should be having a conversation about how to make things better and this starts it.

A touch too localized for general readers. “You can’t tell the players without a program.”

I think I’m going to go track down my geezer husband and hug him until he squeeks.

The world is cruel and random.

You’ve had a good life if you are only now coming to the conclusion that the world is cruel.

One way to feel better is to watch some of Lynn Shelton’s movies.
