Full-time writers are amazing people. Sometimes I struggle to find 200 words to put together each day, and then I’ll jump on twitter and read the tweets from the full-time published creators, and I am in awe. I think it was Stephen King that had a work habit of writing several thousand words every day, …

Day 19,589
I’m watching James Corden (Cordon?) for the first time, and wouldn’t you know it, during his monologue he doaes a joke about.. “Bob, you have three weeks to live” Well, that’s a bit of a bummer. I don’t know whether to spend my time focused on living or maybe just turn off The Late, Late …

Every now and then you have one of those days that just beats you down and keeps on beating. Today, it was primarily my own choice, but the combination of deadlines has hit me a little bit. I’ve got a refresher certification exam lined up tomorrow. By all rights, I ought to pop this out …

Day 19,587
Tuesdays are supposed to be the most productive day of the week. Ummm… OK, I probably ought to give myself a little more credit. I got some stuff done. I planned meals for a few days, and acquired the ingredients… Now, y’all might not know this, but I enjoy cooking. And tomorrow, I get to whip …

It’s the last day of April 2017, here in the middle of the country. A rainy Sunday, following a very rainy Friday and Saturday. Looks like there have been some fatal tornado touchdowns in East Texas. Gotta offer up a prayer for those that have suffered the loss of family, friends, and property at times …

Teenage boys. Sometimes as a father I just want to … aargh. I had a little something planned for my son. He’s been bugging me for years, quite literally, to get him a new smart phone. He’s always been a little behind the curve when it comes to the swapping and upgrading of new phones …

Day 19,583
I came across an article earlier this week that reminded me of another story I had come across last fall or last summer. Listening to this song can reduce your anxiety by up to 65%. I was curious. I had heard a snippet of this song the first time I had come across it, “Weightless” …

Day 19,582
I don’t think I talk to myself too much. I catch myself saying some things from time to time, the mutterings one makes while reading an unfortunate email or some other sort of passage that causes one to wonder about the author’s education. I catch myself talking to other cars and their drivers while I’m …

Day 19,581
Years ago, my brother, Dan, was stationed at Scholfield Barracks on Oahu while he was in the Army. One of the things he found frustrating about life in paradise was the size of the island. It was a bit frustrating to him that when he wanted to just relax and ease his mind, getting out …
