Here we are in week 7 of the Wacky World of American life. Schadenfreude notwithstanding, what a ride! My bet is that you either have a TV or get your news on a computer or mobile device, or even a radio. Maybe you read a real, paper newspaper, but you may be aware of how goofy some of the political machinations and contortions have gotten, and who foments false news and who is merely accused of doing so when they really tell the truth. If you do, I have some questions for you, and some great music.

Are you hankering to visit Havana? A travel agency in a strip mall near my home in SW Florida boasts a cruise to Cuba for $699 per person. How do you know which Cuba travel opportunity is right for you? Read this before you plan your trip.

Hungry? Wouldn’t it be great to prep a full hot breakfast on your countertop? Check these out. I’d be happy to give several of them a home.

Are you looking for love this year? Venus is in retrograde with Aries and Pisces. Not sure why that matters? Me either, but anything with “retrograde” gets my attention. Enough weird stuff has happened in my life when Mercury was in retrograde to make me respect the paths of the planets. The Old Farmers Almanac gIves the dates for Mercury in retrograde in 2017.

Maybe you just want to let the mystery be. Iris Dement’s lyrics tell us she does.
