Why worry about a star or an angel on top of your tree when you can just have your cat.

More Tales of Guts and Blubber
Things are looking kinda scary this month of course. Therefore, why wouldn’t a gut disappear off a body and start becoming its own entity? Read on to find out what happens!!
The Summer of Pasta
The Summer of Pasta ain’t so bad if you like to eat!… But bad if you’re on a diet.
I’ve been watching this you tube channel called Pasta Grannies this summer. It’s actually amazing how much tradition goes into the cooking and the making of the pasta, it makes me want to learn. And learn I must! But it also makes me want to keep the recipes of my grandmother going and pass them onto my children some day and become a pasta granny myself! Traditions are so important because it really keeps the memory and keeps the bond of family alive. I do miss so many summers with my grandmother in the kitchen or in the garden helping her can pickles or learn how to bake bread. I hope that I can pass that love onto my family as well.
But the show is also neat because you can glimpse a different city in Italy and see their cultures and their family traditions that you might like to add to your family! I know I’m going to try! And also try and learn Italian and also maybe move there someday…(sigh)
Okay enough about pasta and love. I will become a pasta granny someday and I can’t wait. 😀

Code Mush Sept 2020 Issue
Welcome to the September 2020 issue, sorry there really wasn’t an issue for August. Tape Ball disaster was just too traumatic. I think we can say this whole year has been traumatic, and I’m not dealing with it very well, as we all are probably dealing with it in our own way. Luckily I have the only outlet that keeps me sane in an insane world and that is the world of MUSH. Call it escapism, call it being creative… whatever, it is is kind of both…
Thanks, and happy reading Mushers.
The Day Rathos Covered For Me…and Lost His Damn Mind
sorry it’s cut off it says: NO, I am not losing my mind, you are! How can you work, day in and day out and not lose your mind!?
July Issue: “What Could Be Wor-” KABOOM!!
Finally here is the new issue into the digital hands of the digital readers first, before I misuse the copier at work to print oodles of copies. Actually, I only print about 10 and half of them are gone by the end of the month. If it’s misuse of company equipment, I call myself a REBEL then. A rebel with a mission! I don’t exactly know what that mission is!!
and yes I know I keep cutting off some of the bottom of the page when I scan. I’m too lazy to fix it.
Hello My Name Is: Mush
Not too Late
These two objects don’t really go together at all (tomato and coffee mug if you were wondering what those two objects were) but they were on my straw mat this morning as I was meditating. I advise that coffee really isn’t something you want to be drinking while trying to meditate. I simply just could not focus! Jitter bug that I am…
The tomato came from my very own tomato plant and it’s just about to turn red ( I pick them early because I have some pesky birds that will try to eat them if I don’t pick it early enough). I guess green tomatoes are bitter and so is black coffee…that would be the only correlation with the two (that and they come from some kind of plant). How do I turn those into a meditation practice? Well, I didn’t, I just turned it into an opportunity to draw!
It’s not too late to find random things and turn it into some creativity!
A day at the beach!
We live about 3 1/2 hours from the gulf coast and its not very often that we go. Yesterday just happened to be one of those. Day Trippers! …
Not only did we get to travel to the coastal area of Texas, but we also traveled through the national forests such as the Big Thicket. It’s on our to do list to go hiking and camping there (oh and to spot Sasquatch…he’s been rumored to have been spotted in the Big Thicket). I should really get out and enjoy these areas around me! and the coast (I know the Gulf’s waters are pretty brown, so what) was really beautiful. I love being on the beach and being able to enjoy nature. I think this time of year is the best time to go as the water is nice and cool, it tends to be a lot warmer in the summer time. Doing donuts in the sand was fun, just don’t piss off any old crotchety men…which we did. I recommend the Bolivar Peninsula and the beaches there. But if you want to go to Galveston island, it’s just a ferry’s trip away.
Now…to apply more aloe vera gel. Yes, the sun can be beautiful and cruel…
Wine!
So I’ve been looking at this bottle of wine at the grocery store for a while because of its cool looking label! Yes, I suppose I judge a wine by its cover. I’m not the middle sister, but I am a rebel sister, and this is a red rebel wine. It combines zinfandel, merlot, and cabernet. I didn’t know what to expect! I thought what the heck since I’ve started a “finer things club” with Isaac (he’s choosing cigars and I’m choosing wine and coffee). It’s time to start experiencing different tastes and textures and just…learn a thing or two about wine or the region it came from, and then go there!
It’s only once or twice a month cause these finer things can get a little expensive. I was also thinking that it can include a number of things like art (which I love and think going to different art exhibits would be great) and reading more books so that instead of watching mind numbing television or staring at a computer screen, I could be expanding the imagination! and looking at art is also a great inspiration for my own code mush art. bleh…which comes and goes as far as plans and ideas go. I’ll always start one project or think of something to do and then get busy with work and just let it ferment with momentum that I eventually lose interest. and then I go bleh with that and move on to something else. I do believe I have short momentum…
but onto the “finer things club”…I love this! I mean, it’s not snooty or anything, I just want to enlighten the senses if you will. I guess instead of calling it a “finer things club” we should call it “enlightening the senses club”…ahhh, that’s more like it!
Okay…Middle Sister red rebel wine…”how was it??”
The taste is rather sweet but great after dinner, like a nice dessert. But, I’m not going to pretend like I know anything about wine except what kind of food might go with it. I don’t know the regions, etc. I do know this is a California table wine! so…what does that mean? See…I’m clueless, but as I discover more I will discuss more, and maybe my senses will be delighted enlightened.
Its code mush enough! it’s like the THUNDERDOME OF CHEESE! EXCEPT ITS THE THUNDERDOME OF ENLIGHTENMENT!! how thunderous!
