This year I have a lot to be thankful for, not least of all my health and for the most part all those around me are healthy. All the hustle and bustle seems important until someone is ill and that’s where real life begins, not when when people are relaxing and enjoying themselves, but whenContinue reading “Thanksgiving 2023”

With having a Thanksgiving dinner last weekend and another one tomorrow it has felt like a week of Thanksgiving. There’s a common joke that the Christmas season begins the day after Halloween, the joke used to be that it started the day after Thanksgiving, but Black Friday sales have crept forward to the entire monthContinue reading “22 November 2023”

Someone was asking why do people journal thinking it’s obsessing about the past. They then went on to talk about how it can’t change the past etcetera, my first thought is that writing about the future would be fiction, but still journaling about the future can be beneficial. At many times in my life I’veContinue reading “21 November 2023”

The weekend went well, we had the first of two Thanksgiving dinners, this one with my wife’s family.

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”

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”
