It’s the last day of the year, so it’s a good time to pick at what transpired over the last 365 days. If I was a more energetic and scientific guy, I would have stats and charts here. Alas, I am lazy. 2017 was a pretty good year for some basic reasons. It also...
Read more →It’s Saturday night, December 30th, 2017. It’s a day after the day I was going to go home, so it’s a bonus day in Wisconsin. We used it by staying up late last night after we got home from La Crosse to watch… Karate Kid. Ralph Macchio looked like a 15 year old. Elizabeth...

It was a good day for a Monday for the most part. I ate Blake’s burrito for breakfast, drank a raspberry mocha, drank 3 bottles of water at work, skipped lunch, and then ate some tacos for dinner tonight. The tacos part was interesting because an hour before dinner, I had been in the...
Read more →I’ve probably been going to New Covenant Church (NCC) for nearly two months now, with a few Sunday services missed for several reasons- reasons which have had little to do with apathy. I started attending there for several reasons after a prolonged layoff from church attendance. For one, I wanted to go back to...
Read more →Tonight, I just want to congratulate my sister and her husband on twenty five years as spouses. In this world of instant dinners and ultra recyclables, when a couple survives 5 years- aye, 7, past the “itch”- they are heralded as stable. But storms still come. Ten years, and they are a strong couple....
