It is Mothers’ Day, May 8, 2022. I took a little time earlier today to make the trip to Clay Center, Kansas, to see my mom, and got the additional benefit of seeing my brother and my sister, and her family, as well as extended family member, Bryan. We had barbecue, watched a little baseball, …

Day 21,418
It is Saturday, May 7, and it’s been a longer day. Not that there was one thing that took up the majority of the day, but just a series of activities spread out over a day that just sort of ate things up. Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, and there will be travel. I haven’t seen …

Day 21,412
It is Sunday, well, heck, it’s Sunday night, and I’m writing about as late in the evening as I’ve written in quite some time. So, the date is May 1 in the Year of Our Lord 2022. My wife and I have had a good day, with a solid breakfast to start, church online (still …
