I know it's been a while. I've done a lot. I know you've been through a lot in the last few years.
The last post was in 2019, and my last series of posts was in 2017. For most of us, that was a different era, a different life. In 2025, things might look much darker for you. I know they do for me. But I have more hope in some areas as well.
Just as an update, I want to give an outline of personal changes:
-My movie watching has gone WAY down.
-However, I've been listening to a lot more albums. I've written about 250 reviews of albums in the last ten months, most of albums I have heard for the first time most from the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
-I have been diagnosed with full blown Diabetes, ADHD, and Autism.
In light of that, I have done a lot of study on Autism and ADHD and AuDHD (because the combination of the two neural types is unique from either).
I've had three therapists. The first one I saw face to face. That wasn't working. The second one I gave a few weeks. Then I asked for a therapist who won't pull punches and will just give it to be straight (this was before the TV show Shrinking). So they recommended another one. She's been great. I've never seen her face and I like it that way.
Did I tell you I moved to Eugene, OR? My family and I packed up and moved south permanently. I'm pastor of Eugene Mennonite Church, a congregation that loves to sing but doesn't trust pretty much any theology. They've been burned by Evangelicalism. I get that.
If there was any doubt, I am 100 percent supportive of LGBTQ+. And refugees. And immigrants. And Palestine. I don't care for Trump one bit. And I'm pretty unhappy with the Democrats.
I don't know if I will be posting. more here. I probably will, I have a lot of writing that hasn't been published. I tried to set up a website and I have failed many times. I can do Blogger. I think that's my limit.
Anyway, hope we can visit again.
