Work Day
It was a morning to sleep in, but not a day off. Thanksgiving cooking and prep was in full swing in the kitchen. Boy #3 and I assembled our new snowblower and his new smoker that was the main birthday present he got this past weekend. He helped me briefly with winterizing efforts out back.…

Too Much
It’s all too much today. I feel so overwhelmed with everything. There were 5 conditions that the VA deferred and they don’t really matter anymore because I already hit 100% with the conditions they rated earlier. Now one of the companies they use for appointments is calling me and I cannot answer my phone right…

Our Cats
We have two cats. Or more accurately, we are owned by two cats. They have larger than life personalities and I know some people don’t understand how pets are very much like children. These cats are like toddlers. They can be really sweet, but they also have tantrums which include purposely swatting at the blinds,…

Wisdom
I actually learned this a couple years ago and when I can stick to it, I feel so much happier. Forcing things has always led me to chase things that aren’t meant for me. When I’ve gotten those things, it doesn’t do anything for me. Or I realized that the path I was on was…

A Review of The Wonder Years (as an adult)
I loved The Wonder Years as a kid. I got a black and white tv the year it came out for Christmas and I watched that very first episode on my own tv. Fred Savage and I are pretty close in age and it was awesome to find a show that seemed to be right…

The Last One
This leaf is the very last one on this tree in front of our house. I looked all around the tree to make sure and it was. It makes you wonder why this particular leaf refuses to let go. It’s hanging on, stronger than all the other leaves that dropped just because or when the…

The Future
Yesterday I watched a virtual presentation on the University of Minnesota with my wife and Boy #1 (who was watching from Florida.) Initially he going to do a welding program at the local community college. That didn’t pan out, mostly because he just didn’t want to do it. He never even registered for it. He…
