postponing the main story & wrapping it up for awhile

 The main story about Dan the driving instructor has, and will be, postponed.  
There was a time a couple years ago when I was underemployed. In this same period, I began this blog. 
But, I wouldn't spend time writing, here, at this blog, b/c of guilt.  
How can I write a blog when I need to find another, better job? 
You can't write if you need to pay bills better than you do! 
So, I didn't write
I found the job.  I work full time. It provides benefits and pays better than when I was a paralegal. 

So now I can write.

Dirty Day, Angry discussion, Sadness

  He's old, and it hurts. There will be, there must be, more adversity (that I don't want),  but hopefully success.  There will be more embarrassment, but some will understand.   There will be misunderstanding, but they are the ones who are clueless.  It would be nice if they looked at a song. A song they hadn't heard before, but may like. They would probably like the lyrics I don't use. From my favorite year, 1993, U2 made  the CD Zooropa, there's a meaningful song, not the best one, on the album (that's " For the First Time (I Feel Love) "). The song is  DIRTY DAY .   The link provides the song. "...you don't know the half of it" You dismiss Chicago, particularly its ghettos while ignoring that most of the people work, work hard. It's not all about selling drugs or gang shootings. People work, people suffer, a disproportionate number of minorities died from COVID as you stayed healthy.  Do you even know what I do to help them? Wil...
