Getting Back In The Pool

I'm taking the summer off and needed something to do along with the driving lessons I'll be taking, so last Wednesday I decided to try a free workout at the kickboxing inspired 9-Round Gym just down the block from me. By the end of the 9 'rounds' I was hurting quite a bit and was ready to vomit. Reminded me of wrestling season my sophomore year in high school, actually.

Good Morning!

Welcome to Tuesday's Open Thread. Today, I thought we'd do something a little different. So, instead of indulging in the world of food, I thought we'd take a stroll through the Chianti region of Italy. I know it's a bit of a departure from the usual Tuesday OT, but over the last year I've had the opportunity to participate in weekly wine tastings, courtesy of Trader Joe's. As I've tasted new wines, I was surprised to learn how much the experience has added not only to my knowledge but to my enjoyment of wine as well. Hopefully, you will find my modest scribblings useful or interesting, or maybe it will even inspire you to try new wines!

Economist Thomas Piketty showed that a centrist Democrat will lose

Early in 2018, Thomas Piketty, author of the bestselling 2013 book "Capital in the Twenty-First Century," wrote a detailed, fact-filled 160-page study that rejected everything that the Democratic Party establishment was telling us.

And it got completely ignored by the MSM, political pundits, and Democratic insiders.

I DEMAND an Explanation from Medium.Com Regarding Their Censorship of My Work

In late April of this year, Medium.com suspended the entire body of work – 234 essays and comments – that I had posted there over the last two years. Despite repeated emails to them, I have received no response from them, before or since.
