Though the current project started as a series of posts charting my grief journey after the death of my mother, I am no longer actively grieving. Now, the blog charts a conversation in living, mainly whatever I want it to be. This is an activity that goes well with the theme of this blog (updated 2018). The Sense of Doubt blog is dedicated to my motto: EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY. I promote questioning everything because just when I think I know something is concrete, I find out that it’s not.
Hey, Mom! The Explanation.
Here's the permanent dedicated link to my first Hey, Mom! post and the explanation of the feature it contains.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #924 - Blondie and Kermit - Musical Monday 1801.15
Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #924 - Blondie and Kermit - Musical Monday 1801.15
Hi Mom,
It's MLK Day, and I am not posting anything directly related to MLK Day. I am not posting a video by an African-American artist either. Not because I don't want to. But when a writer I follow reminded me of this video's existence, I queued it up to share today before thinking about how it would be scheduled for MLK Day.
And yet, "The Rainbow Connection" is a great MLK Day song. It's a lot like MLK's "I have a dream" speech. It's basically the same sentiment.
Plus, I have shared plenty of music by African-Americans over the years, and to share something like that on this day, seem gratuitous, forced, less meaningful.
So, here's "The Rainbow Connection" with Debbie Harry and Kermit. I know the title reads "Blondie," which is not accurate as the rest of the band is not in the video, but I felt Blondie was easier to read than Debbie Harry in a short title, and more attention getting. So...
This is a great video.
I am happy be reminded of it.
Short Musical Monday today, which is one day later, because, you know, as usual, I fell behind, and I am catching up.

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you, Mom.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

NEW (written 1708.27) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom.
