Good morning! Two weeks since I’ve written and I have to say that I am feeling better about retirement. Really good, actually. People who know me well said that they thought getting away from my job would be good for my stress level, and they are right. Even though I’m keeping up with the totally…

The first week of retirement is a wrap now. It feels very weird, but I’m doing okay. When I think too much about it I get a strange sick feeling, so I immediately switch my brain off that topic and move to something else. On New Year’s Day I joined a couple of friends and…

Almost got sucked down the social media rabbit hole again this morning. I’ve been trying to spend a lot less time on Facebook, but Threads is my major distraction these days. I highly recommend it as an alternative to Xitter, and it is increasingly populated by the major journalists and personalities that have abandoned that…

Getting my ducks in a row? Trying, anyway. I made an adjustment to my website this morning to put my artwork on the front page. I hope that won’t interfere with how my posts go out on email. If you notice that it’s wonky, please let me know and I’ll see what I can do…

Hopefully I won’t forget to click publish on this one like I forgot last time. There’s a lot going on and not much interesting to write about, not that I feel like I can share publicly anyway. I scheduled a lot of annual doctor and dentist visits this week and next and boy is it…

I feel so spoiled when I watch what much of the rest of the world is going through. We’re forecast to get some of that high heat this week but in this part of central North Carolina the heat is mainly tolerable. Now, that’s from someone who lives and works in air conditioning, but when…

Actually, the coffee pot is empty now. I spent part of the morning sleeping late after staying up WAY TOO LATE looking at social media, and part of it reading “The Last Straw” by Bryant Holsenbeck on the front porch. My neighbor, Mike, came over and is excited about the possibility of transforming some of…
