ching peak word usage and may be in decline thank god for that if i am asked to collaborate one more time i may lose whatever is left of my covid clouded mind i prefer the secondary definition of the word traitorous cooperation with an enemy it has a delicious cold war feel reeking of espionage well coiffed women in carefully fitted clothing and vodka remember the cold war pour me a glass of that buddy those were good times while i ve been staying home and saving lives i ve given some thought to living like it s the cold war i m sometimes a throwback drinking my coffee from a cup and saucer not a mug i wear skirts and sweaters to go to my virtual office too and i always wear an apron when i make lunch or dinner it doesn t cure the deadening suffocation of the national fear fogging but it helps break up the day into manageable pieces one bright october day while not staying home and saving lives i stopped in bath maine i sat on a park bench outside the patten free library and read my brother s blog on my phone he ruminated on the coming winter six months into covid with little abatement in sight the looming darkness and colder days don t bode well for anyone preferring light and summer breezes what s coming i m afraid is a dank dickensian dystopia to be endured over the course of the winter exhausted from isolation and sharing his concerns about the dimming of our days i looked up from my phone and into the blue october sky a young man was walking towards me it was the strangest thing to be filed under you cannot make this stuff up a kind young man he tipped his hat and unabashedly answered my curious questions he was a historical costumer he said he and others happily walked the earth like the ghost of christmas present spreading joy and good will by wearing garb from another time and place it warmed my heart and i ve thought about this man s spirit many times as october s bright blue weather dwindles towards the halloween full moon i m so glad he chose not to stay home and save lives if only for a brief moment the world seemed bright with light i felt alive it warmed my heart pour me a glass of that buddy posted in just writing tagged dickens fear fogging jim baumer living in the light comments off on pour me a glass of that buddy the politics of coffee posted on august 7 2020 by julie ann baumer boom it s august 7 2020 and i m up at the crack of dawn drinking coffee and listening to a british band i discovered in college the jam thanks be to the masters of the universe today i can stream all of the band s music and their remastered versions too at any time i desire i began today s birthday beat with the jam s girl on the phone as i listen to lyrics from these 1980 s songs i wonder how much the music influenced me either overtly or covertly the jam s members were bold in their opinions and although i could not identify with many of them i liked their sound in retrospect many of their songs were downers take for instance private hell from the band s 1979 album setting sons it s a dirge like number and the lyrics are a dark dismissive look at domestic life see for yourself the man who you once loved is bald and fat and seldom in working late as usual the man i love is bald i m ok with that honestly i can t even imagine him with hair but the song has a good beat and as the coffee hit my bloodstream i danced around on the oriental runner in my hallway is it ok to say oriental runner anymore i had a different vision for my 56 th birthday i wanted to wake up in the canaervon room at the the norumbega in camden maybe hike up mount battie eat something delicious from dot s in lincolnville and then stop in at the dollar general in montville to pick up some detergent and paper products instead i ll soon check in with palm beach perry at my job for pay we ll kibitz about work for a bit and then put the hammer down on the day the jam had a song about working in an office being part of the production line smithers jones a song from a different time with different and the same politics i don t know i took the lyrics and worked them into my own reality then as now the music had a good beat and i could dance to it i m not going to overthink it today no thoughts on the politics of coffee and whether i should be drinking so much of it i m going to put the hammer down on the production line and get done early i m on my way up to the office perry then maybe i ll go out on the river in a kayak with the bald man i might even bake some chicken drumsticks for a picnic he is not fat how lucky am i to have a friend who lives on a cove on the shark infested waters of maine she has a delicious recipe for chocolate zucchini cake too here s to another year of life love friends beauty and all things glorious and the oxford comma google it yourself happy birthday to me posted in just writing tagged august birthdays the jam the norumbega inn truth comments off on the politics of coffee pretty ugly posted on may 16 2020 by julie ann baumer the other day an acquaintance on facebook posted this if only people could see the advantages of wearing a mask not related to the novel coronavirus you can stick out your tongue at rude people you can mumble comments to people not following the arrows in the grocery store those are just a couple this same acquaintance ended his disgust with people not wearing masks in public with what is wrong with people the great and horrible thing about the novel coronavirus is we like cyndi lauper are seeing our citizenry s true colors but unlike lauper i don t love the true colors i m seeing across the fruited plan of this once beautiful and prosperous land it s possible that i don t even know the beauty of this country having been born about 125 years more or less after the beginning of the industrial revolution but i have trodden through the grainy sand of georgetown s reid state park hiked camden s maiden cliff and eaten a lobster roll in eastport i have been to beautiful places in other states too true i have not traveled as much as i could have in my middle class life because i like being at home and now i m stuck at home all around me almost everything is pretty ugly the best part of my days are the text messages from friends about meals and recipes and sometimes they listen to my occasional cries into the digital wilderness like yesterday i asked a friend if i could share something mean go for it she texted i would not object to the masks so much if everyone didn t already look like slobs if they wore pretty dresses with matching masks gloves and hats that would make it more bearable that s little me on the right stylish at an early age thanks to my mother i can see a smart lily pulitzer dress with a matching mask and some opera length gloves maybe a pair of matching jack rogers sandals i might be able to tolerate that but our world has disintegrated into an amusement park with everyone walking around unwashed in their pajamas and mumbling venomous comments through forked tongues under their homemade masks before the novel coronavirus the same facebook poster i opened this essay with was a person who might rail against bullying reminding others to be kind funny how he s become a mask bully now my fellow americans i see your true colors and they re pretty ugly posted in just writing tagged masks true colors ugly americans comments off on pretty ugly the moose lottery posted on april 25 2020 by julie ann baumer i got a letter from my brother the other day apparently he s sequestered in his basement during this unprecedented time when he takes a break from his guitar he writes a letter it s been fun catching up with each other through letters i love letters and in spite of crona or krona if you re german the mail continues to move along swiftly and safely the post office in lisbon falls is still open too prior to these letters from my brother there was little need to walk there now i have a reason to go even though main street is a ghost town and no one is hanging out at the rusty lantern in an april 12 2020 letter my brother jim baumer wrote i sense when i read your posts that there s much more you d like to say if there was a reason and audience to write for bingo busted there is a lot more i d like to say mostly about the cognitive dissonance of the crona narrative think about it how can we be alone together then there is stay home save lives i guess that means when i drive alone to my family s property four miles away for my walk with nobody i m a natural born killer do you see what i mean there is so much more i could say about this strange cognitive dissonance speaking of killing i entered the maine moose permit lottery this week there will be 3 135 permits given out 2 350 of those are for bull moose i did not enter the cow tag lottery no one really wants a cow tag one day while walking alone out and around baumer s field i found a big bone near a stream when i got home i showed it to several hunters and they all agreed it was a moose leg bone it s in a peroxide bath right now whitening although there are no moose permits given out for wildlife management district 22 the location of our property it s exciting to think one of those giant lumbering creatures was lurking around near my grandfather s land i wonder what pa would think last night as i was circling the field and cresting the hill near the powerline i stopped in my tracks five deer were grazing in the area where pa used to plant potatoes they didn t smell me right away so i stood perfectly still watching them there were two doe and three younger deer not fawns though perhaps pre teens rats i didn t have binoculars then all of a sudden a small head popped up from the over the hill about 30 yards from me deer are incredibly curious animals a woman hunter i know once told me i ve seen more deer when i ve pee d near the stand and believe it or not by lighting a cigarette i didn t have a cigarette and the pre teen turned and ran back to the other five deer nervously then one flagged and they all flagged and ran off in a line into the woods it was a beautiful thing someone once asked my father if his father my grandfather ever wanted to return to the old country of bavaria my father said his father was unhappy here in america until he bought some land then he was happy i am grateful for the legacy of land michael leo baumer left it s a good place to be alone all alone and not together i don t have anything more to say about crona even though there are many more things i d like to say cognitive dissonance it s what s for breakfast posted in home tagged cognitive dissonance jim baumer maine moose lottery michael leo baumer unprecedented times comments off on the moose lottery the bluebirds of happiness posted on april 12 2020 by julie ann baumer maybe you didn t grow up catholic or anglican or lutheran so you are not familiar with the easter vigil it s a long service beginning at sundown the church is dark and the priest lights a fire outside and then lights the paschal candle there is a procession to the front of the church and congregation members light small candles until the church is ablaze with brightness the priest stops three times during this procession and sings christ our light the congregation responds thanks be to god after the liturgy there might be a baptism or a confirmation and then the entire congregation renews their baptismal vows the whole ceremony is very powerful if taken seriously especially the renewal of your baptismal vows in spite of these unprecedented times this past week was lovely i accomplished a week long news fast with no facebook no instagram and no dr john cambell talking about these unprecedented times we had a freak snowstorm on thursday evening and i hiked into it with the hunter man i got some beautiful e mails from the philosopher at your service and a letter from my brother reminding me that uncertainty crushes hope good friday started off on a shaky foot with no power and no internet but all was well with the world by 11 00 a m yesterday was gorgeous and as i took my daily air in one of my secret places i noticed some small birds in the budding maple trees along the edge of the large field no binoculars but i stopped and looked closely and identified them as bluebirds i have never seen a bluebird before but according to the internet they are universally associated with happiness one internet guru says the visiting of a bluebird is a good sign and you should act upon it immediately and so i did i built a snowman in the field and was so inspired i drove to baumer s field and made another one in the spot i sometimes see turkeys who are the spirit of abundance sez the netz it was invigorating to be sure last night was still holy saturday and the catholic diocese of maine encouraged catholics and others to light candles at 7 30 p m and offer silent prayer and reflection in lieu of an easter vigil i dressed up like i might if i were going to church styled my hair and lit a white candle i stood at the end of my driveway and made the sign of the cross i recited the lord s prayer and then renewed my baptismal vows it s a powerful thing beginning with the rejection of satan all his works and all his empty promises when i woke up this morning i decided to also reject uncertainty and the crona virus i opened every window in my house and blasted the london philharmonic s hymns triumphant i looked outside and my white candle was still burning brightly at the end of my driveway may your day be filled with bluebirds light fresh air and the type of true hope that overcomes any uncertainty go drink coffee bake ham and live your life christ is risen indeed posted in

us consider that friday march 13 2020 was the beginning of the apocalypse here in the united states what were you doing on that day little more than three weeks ago yet i cannot remember what i was doing my last diary entry on march 12 2020 reads what happened on this day i don t remember time has passed so quickly in this time of corona virus and yet so slowly last palm sunday i was ruminating about my surprise garden and portable toilets for the moxie festival you can read about it here my mother will celebrate her 82 nd birthday this wednesday and she doesn t want me to bake her a cake she is afraid of krona not unreasonably so based on her age i look back on a visit from her last year what were we talking about i don t remember the details other than helen boldly announcing we could live to be 100 god bless her while i am sad i cannot bake a special cake for my beautiful and industrious mother i m encouraged to think i may have another 17 years at least to perfect her birthday treats she likes lemon flavored sweets and i was thinking of a lemon cake made in a loaf pan with...
