Casa E Staff Problem

The bank is telling me to pay my rent. My current landlord is cashing my rent checks a month past. Read about the Landlord that doesn’t.

Telecare is waiting to cash the checks from a month passed. My balance is high. The bank told me to pay my rent. I can see that there is a problem. Telecare is experimenting with our rent money. So I have a bank balance and a real balance. There is an outstanding rent check every month. The bank is telling me to pay my rent. I might have a problem because I think I’m not paying my rent or that the landlord doesn’t accept my rent check. From this a whole host of problems are manifesting.

Telecare will be my Landlord until November 2026. Then my Casa changes to another landlord/provider. The Casa E Board and Care is getting repurposed into an 18 month program. I have to go.

Comment: July 23, 2026: I did some research and figured out that this is something that landlords do. Cashing a rent check within 14 days is the standard. After a whopping 180 days the check becomes stale. In Ventura there is no rent control, so the landlord isn’t subject to any rules to govern timely rental check processing.

I think my father’s love for wine was a Bordeaux

I think my father’s love for wine was a Bordeaux

My father loves wine. I think it was originally a Bordeaux that captivated his interest in wine. He was 21 in 1954. So, his Bordeaux was a wine built to last, meant to be locked away in a cellar and respected. But today, the bottles sit untouched. The world got faster, our tastes got lighter, and the grand, slow-aging romance of my father’s wine choices feels like a relic of a time we don’t know how to inhabit anymore.

Jennifer is not good for me. She had an especially negative mood. She realized Pi.
Jennifer vs. Natalie.
Jennifer is Numbers and Natalie is Letters: a Library for example.
Jennifer I’m Jilted.

My father’s name is Devitt. For the name Devitt, Pi is necessary. Try to realize Pi as not doing so is a liability. Double “T” Pi. There is a Pi in the name. Playfully, if it has to be a Pie, let’s make it Pumpkin.

Rumi Poem

What’s That?

I started out on this road, call it
love or emptiness.

I only know what’s not here:
resentment seeds, back-scratching
greed, worrying about out-comes,
fear of people.

When a bird gets free, it
doesn’t return for the remnant
left on the bottom of the cage!

I’m close by; rain. Far off, a cloud of fire.

I seem restless, but I am deeply at ease.
Branches tremble; the roots are still.

I am a universe in a handful of dirt,
whole when totally demolished.

Talk about choices?

While intelligence considers options,
I am somewhere lost in the wind.

The 1994 Napa Valley vintage has reached its twilight peak. It is fully ready to drink—vibrant, complex, and holding onto its last lines of structural energy. I invite you to open a bottle now while it still carries its story so clearly. Let’s share a glass at the absolute finish line of a legendary California year.

Hope

The 2024 Pauli Murray quarter, part of the American Women Quarters Program, features the inscription “HOPE A SONG IN A WEARY THROAT”. Released in March 2024, the coin honors the civil rights icon, poet, and priest, with her eyeglasses-framed face depicted within the word “HOPE”

The phrase comes from her poem Dark Testament, where she writes, “Hope is a song in a weary throat.” This same phrase was used as the title for her autobiography, Song in a Weary Throat: Memoir of an American Pilgrimage. The coin has her name: The Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray

Comment: May 3, 2026; Paul Kantner. You’re supposed to immunize the expected mother with the T-Dap vaccine for Pertussis. The unborn baby learns about Whopping Cough. This is a necessary vaccine for a pregnant lady and her pregnancy.
