What a day. Started off trying to get a few things squared away… I’m still waiting on a couple of return phone calls. Drove a little Uber around lunch time… until the check engine light came on in my Flex. Oh, Ruby! Why do you hate me so! Took Dane to the movies a little …

Day 19,665
Y’know, I try to keep within myself. I have a decent roof over my head. I have wheels. I have a great wife and three wonderful kids. Even the dogs let me know that I’m worth sniffin’ every now and then. Like anybody else, I have my jealousies and my vanities. I wonder what it …

Day 19,664
OK, this is going to be a stream of thought kind of night, so let’s jump on in. First of all, thoughts and prayers to Senator John McCain. He’s been diagnosed with brain cancer, and cancer sucks. Repeat – Cancer Sucks. I thought I came across a tweet from the CiC – Cheeto in Charge …

Day 19,663
OK, kicked back for a little bit this evening and finally got around to watching the first new episode of “Game of Thrones” for the season. Wow. I do enjoy “A Song of Ice and Fire”, and I think George R.R. Martin might be the finest author in the genre living today, but I am …

Day 19,662
Might be another stream of thought sort of night. I’m really looking forward to starting the new season of “Game of Thrones”, but I want to go back through the 6th season one more time before diving into season 7. Man, I seem to have missed a lot of the arcs from season 6. I’m …

Day 19,661
I have always had a fascination with humor. I remember reading a book in college about humor from a scientific and philosophical perspective. Exaggeration, absurdity, ludicrous, schadenfreude. Likely a few other things that I can’t recall at the time. Tonight, I watched an episode of the CNN series, “The History of Comedy”, and this particular …

Day 19,660
Tonight, an exercise in getting to two hundred words in a short amount of time. Somewhere, in a parallel dimension, another version of me has written something a whole lot more meaningful that will change the way others see the world. Not in this dimensional instance. Got up early, did some yard work. Took care …

Day 19,659
I get a little tired of the “shaming”. This all pretty much started when men started thinking with their dicks. God knows I went through enough years doing way too much thinking with mine. Today, it seems so many men, women, PEOPLE, obsess over the shape, look, style of another person’s visage. GET OVER IT! Whether or …

Day 19,658
I need to do a better job taking notes throughout the course of the day. It happens to me every day. I get an idea. And I forget to write it down. I remember having the idea. I think back now and I remember thinking to myself that whatever it was I had on my …

Day 19,657
Today was one of those days that remind me that attitude can mean so much. I posted yesterday that I didn’t have a great day and that today I was going to get my head focused in the right direction, and I adapted to the day, and it helped. Things went better today. There were …
