The weekend went well, we had the first of two Thanksgiving dinners, this one with my wife’s family. Later this week I’ll have some Army buddies over for dinner, they might effect my ability to write this blog for many reasons, but I’ll do my best. One of the guys is bringing his wolf, IContinue reading “20 November 2023”

Finally Friday, this week felt longer than normal thanks to a fussy baby. She may have gone through a cold, had a stuffed nose, cutting new teeth, or all of the above. I had to go to the post office a couple time to chase down a package delivered to the wrong address and theContinue reading “17 November 2023”

When it rains it pours is an expression I say a lot, often life will be quiet for a month or more with nothing going on and then suddenly multiple major events will happen together. Yesterday was one of those days, this week I mentioned to the neighbor that I need to change my lawnContinue reading “16 November 2023”

Sticking with possible ice cream flavors, I was thinking about peanut butter ice cream. I’ve never seen peanut butter as the base flavor, it’s usually paired with chocolate, a good combination. Hazelnut and chocolate is another good combination. With Thanksgiving being around the corner it’s nice to talk about food. Getting into the holidays providesContinue reading “15 November 2023”

I need to break up the monotony of my writing. My wife and I were talking about making ice cream for Thanksgiving, we have an ice cream machine and last year we attempted cranberry ice cream. The cranberry was a success but the main ingredient, cranberry, may have been too bitter to create a goodContinue reading “14 November 2023”

Uncomfortable conversations save lives. Everyone wants to stay in their bubble and watch others save the world, that’s not how it works. Likely the only reason most people are getting out of bed is for money. Chores often go undone because there is no perceived value in doing them, that’s a short coming on ourContinue reading “13 November 2023”

I’m going on a vacation, only for a night or two, enough to clear my head. Where I’m going is a mystery to me, my wife set it up and will give me an address later. What’s important to me is alone time to be lost in the woods. Usually what happens when I goContinue reading “10 November 2023”

The concept of meta is the human mind trying to understand the infinite, or God. Humans are not the center of the universe nor are we the smallest mot, but I do think we’re the center of the universe. Another cultural debate that has come home to roost is that humans are on an unimportantContinue reading “9 November 2023”

Someone said I was living the dream, while I understand the sentiment, anyone can choose my path. My strategy has been to find something no one wants and refine that waste into a valuable resource. People suffer from one of two pains, either the pain of work or the pain of regret. When I wasContinue reading “8 November 2023”

Last Friday I succeeded in my 200 lbs bench press and it felt like I still had fuel in the tank. I’m technically the strongest I’ve ever been and getting stronger. There are two big reasons for my weight lifting gains. Specifically effecting the bench press was that I improved my technique. In preparation forContinue reading “7 November 2023”
