As I have written before, some days the words come easier than others. Sometimes that is due to the thoughts rumbling through my cerebral cortex, other times it simply has to do with the events of the day. Right now, I am finishing up the Memorial Day part of my holiday and transitioning to the …

Day 20,704
It’s a Saturday night in rural Douglas County, and one of my neighbors is really getting in to celebrating the Memorial Day weekend… and the bass is thumping. I had a pretty active day, for the first day of vacation. I spoke with an old, dear friend who has been going through a rough time …

Day 20,671
It’s been a long day. On delivery days, I tend to get up around 5:30 in the morning. I try to be in my virtual classroom well before the first student arrives, at least an hour before I’m scheduled to start. That gives me a little time to organize my presentations as well as my …

Day 20,695
Good evening. It’s a Thursday night in rural Douglas COunty, and a springtime shower is falling, with the thunder and lightning show behind it providing some pyrotechnics on a cool evening. I wrapped up my third class of the week today, and now I have a few days to get my brain wrapped around the …

Day 20,694
Every now and then something happens that makes you wonder about a lot of things, and you start to question what to trust, when to trust, motivations behind this and that. You start to question your own judgment. I try to think things through. I make an effort to get reliable pieces of information from …

Day 20,693
It’s Tuesday night, and I’m about as energetic as a piece of toast. Rural Douglas county is pretty quiet tonight, and I’m having a conversation with my son about his finals. Just had an interesting moment. I tried to write a sentence without looking, just seeing how well my tough typing skills are improving. Eh.. …
