New year’s eve is over, back to work. I’m only mostly kidding, the Army boys are leaving today and there will be plenty of work coming in hot. Still, now is a good time for reflection. People were posting about how their year was, this has been one of the wilder years I’ve had inContinue reading “New Year’s Day 2024”

Glad to be at the end of the week, my wife had a nice surprise thinking today was going to be the last day at her old job only to find out yesterday was her last day, it’s a welcome relief. When it rains it pours accurately describes life, for stretches of time nothing willContinue reading “29 December 2023”

The Army boys had a fight yesterday, these are guys that can be carelessly disrespectful because the average person would be scared to stand up to them. They also will not stand for a sliver of disrespect so when they lock horns no one is willing to back down. This is when I have toContinue reading “28 December 2023”

We went to the neighbors yesterday to see Christmas decorations, show the Army boys come cool stuff and say goodbye to my neighbors. They’re upset that we’re moving since they’ve had nothing but back luck from the previous occupants of my house. They offered to keep me updated on the trees, a sad reality isContinue reading “27 December 2023”

Christmas went well, I don’t know how much writing I’ll be able to get done before New Years with the Army boys visiting. They’re on a night schedule and I’m used to early morning rising so we end up staying up later than I’m used to. This week we’ll also have a lot going onContinue reading “26 December 2023”
Christmas 2023
Today marks the birth of our savior; 2023 years ago. Have humans come far enough in that time? I like to say we’re preparing the Earth for the second coming of Jesus. 2023 years later we’re still celebrating his birth, the second coming is looking to the future. The world should look a certain wayContinue reading “Christmas 2023”

We’ve finally made it to the last weekday before Christmas. All I want for Christmas is sleep, it will be exciting to take in Christmas through my baby’s eyes. She bursts out laughing in the car and dinner table, so Christmas should get some reaction. Some of the presents I got are big foam shapes,Continue reading “22 December 2023”

Freud said everything is connected to everything. It’s a simple phrase that offers continued insight. The same is true for humans, no man is a mountain, we depend on the support of those around us and our decisions have consequences that can echo for generations. I am trying to build something that my support systemContinue reading “21 December 2023”

Things need to slow down so we can enjoy the holidays, my body is running on fumes and candy at this point. Yesterday was below freezing and I was outside trying to pull up fence poles, then went inside to work on the house and it seemed like nothing I did worked. Often I talkContinue reading “20 Decemeber 2023”

I heard someone use the word “Gucci” to mean something like okay or good. The first time I heard this word/phrase combo was in college some fellows invited me to a type of bar, I wanted to verify if I needed to be of a certain persuasion to go. They asked if I was 21,Continue reading “19 November 2023”
