I’m taking a vacation. Been on a good streak for awhile and got a lot accomplished already this year. Check out my newspaper at http://www.thecornerstonepress.com if you haven’t already and I’ll be back in a couple weeks. The show should still be out on Saturdays.

The kids are getting sick, there’s not much sleeping, so there won’t be much writing. Everything is coming along well, it’s a luxury to struggle and still survive. In time, everyone will be healthy again, today is about getting through. My push up videos continue, I’ve got 6 out of 22 complete. If I continueContinue reading “5 March 2026”

The difficulty of having new ideas is to everyone else they’re wrong ideas, at least that’s how people justify never having thought them. They don’t want to consider there’s a path they didn’t explore that came to a new conclusion. The leader has to motivate people with an idea they’ve never heard before and thenContinue reading “4 March 2026”

Yesterday, I mentioned it’s hard to get people to think which got me thinking on thought. I always said I started thinking when I was 17 and my first decision was to drop out of school. One thing I knew was I didn’t like it there. Then I had to figure out how to feedContinue reading “3 March 2026”

After the events of this weekend, I started the presses on my newspaper. https://www.thecornerstonepress.com/ The picture is of a tiny library and bench I built to house the paper. The bench, or as I’ve been calling it the newsstand, is placed by the road for passers by to take one. I’ve been preparing the newspaperContinue reading “2 March 2026”

After each writing, I paste it into a LLM to get tags for SEO. For yesterday’s writing the AI prompted me to reach out to a crisis hotline and my queen checked in to see I was OK. Yesterday was not a reflection of how I felt in the moment, but those were dark thoughtsContinue reading “27 February 2026”

Still pretty tired, so I thought I’d give the reader a look into the tired and depressed mind. There’s no point to go on. The harder I try, the harder it gets. There’s never a finish line or even a goal that feels like winning. Someone new will come around to cause problems. It mightContinue reading “26 February 2026”

For the exciting conclusion to the plumber saga, he identified the problem, but couldn’t fix it. There’s an electrical issue with the well pump. Today is feeling like a hit the wall type of day. I’ve been running hot for awhile now, with the plumber yesterday, rearranging furniture Monday, and daily push up videos, I’mContinue reading “25 February 2026”

The push up challenge is off to the races. Yesterday’s video and today got recorded without any problems. I’m currently waiting for a plumber who is supposedly on the way. Since last week they’ve been telling us almost everyday that someone is coming out. I’m feeling lucky today. Yesterday we had a constructive day inContinue reading “2/24/26”

We had a good weekend, uneventful. Another episode of my show produced and distributed. Yesterday, when recording I decided not to do a live show at the same time and will not be going back. The reason I wanted to do live was a YouTube metric of watch time, streaming live can be helpful. TheContinue reading “23 February 2026”
