I went a’ protesting

Spent a few hours in the pouring rain last week protesting with about 120 other folks down at City Hall.

One guy came up and was reading our signs. He said he was an immigrant to the US for 10 years and in his entire time of being here he’s never seen something so “insane”. He couldn’t believe what is happening in the White House and thanked us for showing up.

Another gentleman was a military veteran who spent the entire two hours walking with his partner from corner to corner with a large visible sign. He was very stoic, yet friendly, individual.

A lot of horn honk and thumbs up including one from a school bus and a firetruck, which was very amazing. I’m pretty sure the firetruck wasn’t supposed to be doing that. 🙂

It felt good to get out of the house and be around other people. To do something other than doom scroll and read sarcasm and defeat on social media.

A++ would protest again.

24 Karat Case of Love

As the credits rolled on Kevin Smith’s latest flick “The 4:30 Movie1, this song came on. It was so catchy and perfect for the period the film takes place in. As I listened, I thought I had missed some great song from the 80s, but no it was written for the movie! Bear McCreary wrote the music and his brother Brendan sings. The little affectations after many words is just :chefs kiss: perfect. And a killer sax solo. 🤘

A Koerner Christmas Tradition

Every year2, for the last sixteen years, I make a video of our family putting up our Christmas tree. I’ve been behind in uploading these. Last year for obvious reasons.

I’ve finally gotten around to uploading 2022, 2023, and this year’s 2024. I’ve even found the “lost” footage from 2016.3

Without further ado…Merry Christmas!

If you want to journey back with me, I have finished uploading all the videos* going back to 2008!
