The Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is a centuries old trek across northern Spain done by following "The Camino de Santiago", the road to Santiago. Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.

Two Faced
One of the major political figures in the Republican's attempt to destroy Obamacare has been junior Senator Ted Cruz from Texas. He's had been in the news a lot since he read Dr Seuss's Green Eggs And Ham on the Senate floor during his filibustering attempt to get more Senators to vote for defunding the Affordable Care Act. Until that movement Cruz wasn't even on my radar but when I first saw his face on the News I wanted to punch him right in the nose. That reaction hasn't changed. I see him on television and, BAM!, I want to punch him in the nose. It's a visceral reaction, Cruz's Face = Punch In Nose. Then one day I figured it out. My instantaneous dislike for the man is simply because he looks and acts like another political figure from the past.
The junior Senator from Texas, Ted Cruz:
The junior Senator from Wisconsin, Joe McCarthy:
Both political opportunists. Both cretins.

A Woman's Work Is Never Done
Spent the last two days cleaning carpet. Beginning to feel like Jody Miller but with out the "French" maids or that Playboy centerfold on the bed (What the Hell???).
Up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more
I got old floors to wax and scrub
And there's a dirty old ring in the tub
I'll get a maid someday
But till then I'm
Queen of the house
No time to fix my hair
Need a new dress to wear
Old clothes will have to do
'Cause kids all need new shoes
I got bridge club each Tuesday night
He goes out with the boys and gets tight
But when the evening's through he comes a home to the
Queen of the house
I know the milkman, the iceman they come every day
They give me tips on the horses to play
And when I got the time to spare
I sit and wish that I'd picked a rich millionaire
I sing, up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more
Oh, but Sundays I'm mighty glad
We send the kids to his mom and dad
It's the day that makes me glad I'm
Queen of the house
Up every day at six

But Sundays I'm mighty glad
We send the kids to his mom and dad
It's the day that makes me glad I'm
Queen of the house
Queen of the house
