“ Dobroho ranku”, or “Good Morning!” in Ukrainian, is an Eastern Slavic language spoken mainly in Ukraine. The UJT will remain focused on Ukraine until we can all rejoice at the end of hostilities. It has been 2,249 days since Russia invaded Ukraine.
Thank you all for the response is to my announcement of closing the EJT site and blog weekly blog updates as of the 31st of December. It has been a pleasure doing the site and the updates help me feel connected to all these years but lately it’s just moved into that too hard column so I’ll be passing it on to someone if they want it and if no one wants it, I’ll just shut it all off.
This week, I learned some stuff:
-
- This week I’ve been lost in Medicare coverage swamps. Our current provider has a site it’s not gonna be in the same business next year so we had to find another provider that would provide us access to the same healthcare system. We’ve really grand fond of. We think w we have found one. And the time disintegration of our old bodies continues and we’re trying to figure out what makes sense to do now or what makes sense to do after the first of the year just as long as our healthcare healthcare system is in complicated will be OK.
- I want to congratulate our citizens for making good choices last Tuesday. We are surely testing our checks and balances system, but I think because everyone came out and voted. We got better results than if we have behaved like it was normal business. A big shout out to the folks in Virginia could not have been easy electing a Democratic governor.
- It appears that I’m sailing out of the dorms into Clearwater again and perhaps getting some of my task done. I’ve always been a guy that attempted too much did too much and paid the price for the effort rather than someone who waited for opportunities to come to me and sees them with the aggressiveness of glacier, but that’s how I felt over the past couple weeks, but it’s in your sky today.

This week’s Website Update:
-
- No new recipes this week-.. Although, I did add sautéed mushrooms, and capers to my, “scratchy husband” recipe with very good results.
- This week’s quote is from Dr. Ducky Mallard, NCIS ME: “We get to live two lives one ends when our bodies give out and the other ends when people stop telling our stories.”
Bonsai Tree and Stained Glass, Update:

Weird-Stuff-O-Meter:
-
- The the other day, I believe it was Wednesday. The Attorney General of Kentucky made a public appeal for his fellow Republicans to quit calling his office and complaining that they did not have an opportunity to vote against the elected mayoral candidate for New York City. How’s that for? Weird?
This week’s UJT Radio Program:
We are finishing with the artists whose names begin with the letter “H”.
- Ambrosia — Time Waits for No One — Thus one of my favorite songs of all time it. The music is so tight Toto is a lot like these band when it produced Toto four it’s an amazing sound and very well written and produce. This is a cut off their self titled first album released in 1978.
- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young — The Lee Shore (Live) — Every every harmony, these guys did carried a piece of this song with it. It’s a beautiful song written beautifully and sung even more so. This one is from their 1972 live release, “4 Way Street”.
- Matchbox Twenty — If I Fall — This song was released on their 2007 iconic album, “Exile On Mainstream.”. Nuff Said.
- SuperTramp — The Logical Song — I think that went through two copies of the vinyl record, “Breakfast in America”. It was released in 1979 so the details are a little foggy, but I think there were some peanut butter involved.
- Steely Dan — Rose Darling — There are just a few bands to put our records that I like every single song on the record and play the records side after sign. “Kati Lied” is one of those records every song on it means something to me. It did when it came out in 1975 and it does today.
- The Beatles —Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite!— This song was really a early warning sign for things that were changing in 1967 when it came out. This song was so different than anything else is playing on the music on the radio on records that it shocked to me. Even more than Lucy in the sky with diamonds which fit our new interest of course, this is a cut from their iconic, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”
- Gnarls Barkley —Crazy —A wonderful song that came out of left field. He has a great voice! “bless your soul!” . This song is from his 2006 release, “Crazy – Single”.
That’s it… Do the best you can; Laugh every chance you get; Always remember… The best is yet to come! As always, thank you for being my friend!
