I feel so guilty. — Duncan McGeary

"Beat L.A.!"

You're not a true Oregonian until you can yell that.

My rhododendron is blooming for only the third time in 9 years.

Beautiful plant.

I didn't vote.

I feel so guilty.

Linda bequeathed me her old ipad and I haven't even picked it up.

I feel so guilty.

I've stopped reading the New York Times. I just don't have time.

I feel so guilty.

I'm reading HADRIAN, by Anthony Everitt, a biography of the Roman emperor.

Why?

I don't know. I should be reading something more useful like the stack of comics that I've fallen behind on.

I feel so guilty.

I haven't filled out the (legally required) Census form the feds sent me.

I feel so....

....no, wait. The hell I do.

I found a company that will clean out Dad's room and give the fixtures and other things to charities for a fee.

The type of thing that the younger and broke-er me would have done myself to save money and then have probably had a garage sale to raise money.

But Time is Money.

I feel so guilty.
