Brett Kavanaugh -- the hearings re-visited

      Kavanaugh presented himself as a privileged, entitled, spoiled brat.  His rage, lack of humility, and tendency to be flippant PROVED that he is not Supreme Court material.

     I have no reason to think Blasey Ford was lying.  Why would she?  The repulsive behavior by Kavanaugh left her emotionally scarred for years.  She's a brave woman for coming forward, and had absolutely nothing to gain by telling her story.

     Kavanaugh's confirmation was a big mistake.  

I LOVE PILATES (NOT)

I Love Pilates (Not)

     Just recently I started taking a Pilates class.  So far, I've had two.  I was extremely sore after the first one, and after the second one.  We're talking sore for about 3 days.  In my opinion, exercise that causes pain is not worth it.  Besides, I just read that Pilates is not recommended for people with arthritis or osteoporosis.

      Instead, I'll walk, ride my stationary bike, do my physical therapy exercises, and take dance classes.
