There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton
I had to yell today. I really do hate yelling. Unfortunately, it seems like it’s the only things some kids respond to. I’ve also been incredibly tired this week. I’m very ready for the weekend.
Otherwise, I have no real news. I get up way too early…usually from the [...]
I started out with the best intentions. I really do love for my yard to look nicely mowed and edged with a nice garden and flowers lining the side of the house. It looked pretty good for about five days too. Of course, it’s been a month or so since I’ve mowed, [...]
Greetings from a mid-September Tuesday.
The weekend was spent attending to family business and funeral-related gathering for my uncle who passed away last week. Yesterday I coasted through on automatic, mostly giving the kids things to do that didn’t require a lot of effort on my part. I need a weekend-end.

I came home sick today…my first cold of the season. I’m sure it won’t be the last.
Always pay attention to the details when buying electronics. You may just get a coaxial to optical when what you need is an optical to coaxial. If that happens you’ll find yourself standing in the den swearing.
