Losing his liberty and the freedom of his people to Julius Caesar was one thing, but when people mispell gall as Gaul, King Vercingetorix, King of the Gauls gets hopping mad.

My extrovert double
I’m stepping out! I’m going to walk around the block. This is the first time since I went to the hospital to have my gall bladder removed, that I am going outside, wearing street clothes, and moving along under my own power.
Baby steps sure, but still steps.

My family’s favorite brand of freedom
I love refried beans. They’re part of my heritage, my family’s culinary history, and an essential ingredients in the world’s greatest cuisine – Mexican. So you can imagine I’m picky about refried beans. They should not include jalapeno peppers. Nothing wrong about jalapenos, but are we such savages, that we cannot add our own fresh jalapenos to the beans? Are we to be denied the freedom to decide the exact, proper amount, perhaps none that day, to our refried beans?
GIVE ME LIBERTY TO ADD MY OWN JAPENOS OR GIVE ME DEATH.
(Not as exhilirating as John Patrick Henry’s famous slogan, but you get the idea.)
So, you can imagine my horror and outrage when the two major supermarkets only had refried beans with jalapenos. I had to order plain refried beans from Amazon. Yes, Amazon was freedom’s last line of defense.
Write your senator, gather your arms, and take to the streets. The apocalypse is at hand.

There have many baseball greats. One of them, Willie Mays, has quite rightly received much praise, especially recently.
But I’d like to tell you about the player who has a firm place in my heart.
He’s Lou Johnson.
He was an outfielder during the 1960s. He played in 677 games, was at at bat 2,049 times, hit 48 home runs, and had a batting average of .258.
But he was very, very nice to me.
I believe it was the summer of 1966. I lived in Arcadia, California. Southern California suffered through about six days a week of heavy smog. I could not see mountains a mere mile away. I can still feel the horrible stinging in my eyes whenever I think of that smog. I’m suffering through such a flashback as I type.
I was an Angels fan; my brother rooted for the Dodgers. And because my brother followed the Dodgers, I felt obliged to hate them. So, I felt quite unhappy when my mother said we were going to a supermarket parking lot to get a signed poster of a Dodger!
The line was long. The polluted air stung my eyes. Tears rolled down my face. I could not keep my eyes open. My mom had to lead me forward.
I don’t remember exactly what happened. But Lou Johnson noticed my distress and talked to me. I really can’t remember what he said, my eyes were in too much pain. I made the effort to get a glimpse of this wonderful man.
Oh gosh, I’m tearing up something fierce, it must be from that onion I’ll be dicing for dinner.

Me during Covid days.
I was productive all day. No anti-productivity at all. Nor even non-productivity, e.g, napping.
This great deed doesn’t happen all that often. Indeed, this accomplishment is especially heartening to me as it’s my first really good day since I got COVID six-or-seven weeks ago.
Go me.
