Hey folks! It’s Thursday morning, June 16, 2022. Life is pretty good, a little rain fell last night, the pool is in good shape, the water is warm, and the coffee is done brewing. Today is my last day of internal training. I’ll admit that I didn’t know what to expect with this sort of …

Day 21,457
It is Wednesday morning, June 15, and, for many of us that receive our paychecks semi-monthly, it is payday. I am a fortunate man to work for a great company with solid benefits, and a culture that promotes well-being. Seriously, when I talk with some of my peers, I am stunned by some of the …

Day 21,456
It is Tuesday morning, and I’m already wondering what we’re going to have for dinner, on this 14th day of June. Tuesdays have been a good day for tacos, and there’s a place on the edge of town with a dollar taco special. Gears are grinding. I generally start off my blog posts by going …

Day 21,455
It is Monday morning, and my internal training event starts in a couple of hours. It is the 13th of June, and a week away from my son’s 21st birthday. These days, many Americans have familiarized themselves with the acronym, “RWNJ”… which stands for “Right-wing nut job”. Historically, they just stood around in wearing shirts …

Day 21,453
It is Saturday night, a bit warmish late evening on this 11th day of June. It’s still 85 degrees outside at 9:33 PM. It has been a day. So, as I mentioned yesterday, we are currently without television, but that’s certainly not to say that we’re without media. Lisa is back in our bedroom watching …

Day 21,452
It’s Friday night, June 10, and we’re relaxing in the living room. Bonnie is playing a game on her laptop, Lisa is reading something on her phone, and I’m enjoying an evening cocktail. Lisa and I went out to the pool earlier, and Dane came out as well. The water in the pool has warmed …

Day 21,451
It is Thursday morning, June 9, 2022, and I’m watching a news report about the guy that got arrested outside Chief Justice Kavanaugh’s home during an attempted assassination attempt. Assassination attempts are wrong, assassination is wrong. Assassination attempts are not a form of peaceful protest. Let’s not create laws that restrict peaceful protest. Let’s not …

Day 21,450
It is Wednesday morning, June the 8th, in the Year of Our Lord 2022… and I write that thinking, “In the Year of Our Lord” seems like there was no presence of God prior to the birth of Jesus. The way we date things is pretty random. We have our calendar, named after some guy, …

Day 21,449
It is Tuesday morning, June 7, and the 59th birthday of my high school friend Rob. I hope you are having a great day out west. Things are getting weird in Washington, DC, obviously. Thursday night the January 6th committee hearings move to prime time for some pretty interesting questioning. One of Trump’s advisors has …
