puppetmaker | RTBTCKI Think twice post once

One of the first things I learned when I took woodshop was measure twice and cut once.

I think we should apply the same idea for what we put out on the Internet.

One needs to think about what one is saying.

I have been basically off-line because I really didn’t have anything nice to say.

I am a firm believer in this

There are three things you must always ask yourself before you say anything.
• Does this need to be said?
• Does this need to be said by me?
• Does this need to be said by me now?

That in a nutshell is my philosophy.

This past two weeks have been challenging to say the least.

Part of it has to do with an injury to my hip. This has made movement difficult.

I am being careful to try to walk as normally as possible to keep other parts being injured.

Over the counter is not cutting it but that’s what I have so I use it.

There has been some sturm and drang that isn’t helping my stress levels.

Peter and I are fine as is Caroline and my family.

It is a number of things I have no control over, and I hate that with the passion of a fiery thousand suns. Outside issues are damaging my calm.

Today is a bit of a reflective day for me as we lost Jim Henson 31 years ago today.

I plan to build puppets and watch various Jim Henson productions while doing so/

I think that’s the nicest thing I can say right now.

I want everyone to have the rights and expected treatment in the United States.

I want the Republican party to eat their own. They are well on there way.

I am grateful for things that keep me sane.
