Are We Doing Covid Wrong?

Gallery

Posted on December 15, 2021 by Grace

Did we get Covid wrong from the get-go? Did we get it right at the beginning, but now it’s wrong? What seems obvious to some is not so obvious to me. I don’t think we’ll know which approach to the … Continue reading →

Does This Dream Mean I’m Racist?

Gallery

Posted on December 7, 2021 by Grace

Does a racist dream mean I’m well and truly racist? Please, no!  Have you ever remembered a dream but wish you didn’t? That would be me, this morning. Some dreams are so weird that I can’t stitch them back together … Continue reading →

The Juries Have Spoken

Gallery

Posted on November 24, 2021 by Grace

If you have yet to receive an email from a friend asking you to buy a gift card for them because they’re sick and can’t get out, count yourself lucky. I fell for just such a scam a year ago, … Continue reading →

Gallery

Posted on November 9, 2021 by Grace

I actually got dressed before noon today. I had a lunch date with an old friend and a new friend, then other things this afternoon, then a book group in the evening. But a book I ordered was waiting for … Continue reading →

Coming to Grips With Covid

Gallery

Posted on October 28, 2021 by Grace

Covid is endemic. It’s never going away. So now what.  I’m triple-vaxxed, and mentally, I’m starting to lose a bit of my anxiety. Charlie and I showed our “vaccine passports” at a Starbucks this week so we could sit down … Continue reading →

Why I’m Right

Gallery

Posted on October 19, 2021 by Grace

Why am I so often right while you are so often wrong? That is the question, isn’t it. Kathryn Schulz did an excellent job of explaining why it’s so hard to be wrong in her book Being Wrong. I refer … Continue reading →

Just Call Me Karen

Gallery

Posted on October 17, 2021 by Grace

That’s right, I’m a Karen. Yesterday I called 911 to report a black man. We had walked downtown, then to Pioneer Square, then got on the streetcar to come up to First Hill. Our first stop had been at a … Continue reading →

Seattle, We Have a Big Problem

Gallery

Posted on October 12, 2021 by Grace

OMG. A person running for office in Seattle’s non-partisan city races once filed to run for a state (sort of partisan) position where she checked “prefers Republican Party.” (Yes, Washington is weird: We have open primaries where people can vote … Continue reading →

Are You Wondering What Woke Is? Read This:

Gallery

Posted on October 2, 2021 by Grace

More than a few people ask me to define “woke.” I use the word often, but most of my friends and acquaintances don’t read much of what I read. I’ve been immersed in the discussions of woke ideology for a … Continue reading →

Talking With Strangers

Gallery

Posted on September 10, 2021 by Grace

My retirement residence is full of smart, accomplished people who are mostly Democrats. We have some Republicans, including some who voted for Trump and some who didn’t, but “viewpoint diversity” is not our strong suit. After the 2020 election, I … Continue reading →
