    Wednesday, June 20th 2022 I like how this guy thinks. So today is day 3 of “take it easy and be good to yourself” week. As you can imagine, I feel pretty good. Quite a bit of tension has gone out of me. A lot of pain has also left. I feel relaxed and easy.… Continue reading

    Tuesday, July 19th 2022 It’s 8:00 a.m. but I feel like I’m already halfway through my day. Mostly sitting around yesterday left me with a ridiculously restless night. I suppose I should have seen that coming. These days, I’m usually at least a little physically tired by the end of the day. It’s easier to… Continue reading

    Monday, July 18th 2022 Betrayal. Yeah, I mean what are you going to do? In a land where people ask you what you want to hear them say, you cannot count on someone’s word as being worth something. In a land where anything can be bought, you can’t trust the value of things. In the… Continue reading

    Sunday, July 17 2022. Week 28 That’s 27 weeks in the bag and 18 weeks to go. 45 weeks. This is my third year. I haven’t counted the words yet this year. Maybe I should but I haven’t. Maybe I should…  No, not right now. Too much work. Besides, I basically know the number already.… Continue reading

    Friday, July 15th 2022 Forty-five nations pledge to coordinate evidence of war crimes in Ukraine from Reuters The United States and more than 40 other countries agreed on Thursday to coordinate investigations into suspected war crimes in Ukraine, shortly after what Kyiv said was a Russian missile strike that killed civilians far from front lines.… Continue reading

    Thursday, July 14th 2022 Sorry about this. It’s a random thought that for some reason stuck in my head as making some kind of elegant sense. I personally don’t understand it but obviously someone does. It’s a strange sort of math. I mean, I think sometimes I just want to hang around the planet long… Continue reading

    Wednesday, July 13th 2022 6:00 a.m. is a good time to wake up. It’s not like I burst into life and start running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I suppose this is something I can aspire to. Perhaps sometime in the future I will have the ability to give myself over… Continue reading

    Tuesday, July 12th 2022 So it seems that compromise is always possible for the oil business and all of those who participate in it. The rhetoric says one thing and the actions do another. Sometimes we run into moments of difficulty in dealing with particular people or perhaps organizations. You run into a situation where… Continue reading

    Monday, July 11th 2022 Another beat up lazy Monday morning here without rain. Apparently town is getting flooded. All the rain that is falling is falling on everybody but us. I don’t know why I have to be so lucky. The Taurus says that a black cloud followed the Jews around in the desert and… Continue reading

    Sunday, July 10th, 2022. Week number 27 Good morning. It’s 9:00 a.m. on a cool and easy Sunday morning. Forget about the weather reports. They are simply not worth reading. I downloaded several more weather apps but the differences are all academic and dependent on how optimistic they wish to be for you. It doesn’t… Continue reading
