July plus Texas equals HOT! It’s a simple equation every Texan lives with. My Michigan bones still have enough permafrost in them that I appreciate the heat when I first go into it. Hydration is key to survival. In an attempt to stay out of the heat I went for a run about ten in… Continue reading Okay, I Admit it. I’m OCD.

This is where I’ll likely be in 25 years
I’ve seen a lot of stuff recently about setting goals. Much of it revolves around seeing where you’ll be in twenty five years. The logic stems from the idea that if you can think something then you can achieve it. Ask Mitt Romney how well that works, or Michael Dukakis, or anyone else who ran… Continue reading This is where I’ll likely be in 25 years
Modern Technology Sure Adds to My Confusion
There are times I long for the good old days. Not because they were necessarily good. Nor because I was old then. Neither because they only lasted a day. Simply because things were simpler then. When I sent a letter it was usually hand written. Spelling mistakes were ignored by anyone who cared about me.… Continue reading Modern Technology Sure Adds to My Confusion
If Life was More Consistent I Think it Would be Easier
I still derive most of my income from driving trucks, eighteen-wheeler semi’s mostly. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve come up behind a vehicle traveling slower than me. My inclination is to pass them when it’s safe to do so. More times than not the other driver speeds up before I can… Continue reading If Life was More Consistent I Think it Would be Easier
I don’t know much about the future, but I do know this.
Holy “What day is it?” My life has gotten extremely crazy lately. Hence the Monday blog post on Wednesday. I don’t know when I’ll finally get another Friday post out. Prayers are appreciated. My poor female mailman has gotten quite the workout carrying my 900 books into the apartment complex’s office last week. I put… Continue reading I don’t know much about the future, but I do know this.
Today I Turn Double Nickels
Milestones seem to be coming at me at a fast clip lately. Clifford broke the 200,000 mile mark just before I broke the old speed limit on my age. I hope to be able to afford new brakes on Clifford soon. Me I’m not so worried about. Watch the video to see why I say… Continue reading Today I Turn Double Nickels
Did the time change affect you adversely? Not me
Here we go again. The federal government has enforced another forced hour-less of sleep on most of its citizens. A show of hands now…how many of you slept through till your normal time to wake up and showed up to church an hour late? I see that hand. The people most affected by this slight… Continue reading Did the time change affect you adversely? Not me
Happy 2/22 Day Y’all!
So, what’s so special about three twos on the same date? Some of you want to know. I don’t know either. I just noticed it and decided to write a blog post about it. That’s all. Last month we celebrated 1/11 day, so I thought 2/22 day needed some recognition, too. No, I just checked,… Continue reading Happy 2/22 Day Y’all!

A blog post/newsletter from a man with not enough hours in my day
I know I’m not the only person who needs more hours in my day in order to get everything done, so I’ll try to keep this short so you can find a few extra minutes in yours. Since this is February 1st I’m supposed to put out a newsletter for just my faithful subscribers. But,… Continue reading A blog post/newsletter from a man with not enough hours in my day
