I'm at the dentist this morning. Kenan and Elijah have need of fillings, and I am doing my best to keep busy while I wait. Why not dust off the blog? I have approached writing here many times these past few weeks, but each time I end up boring even myself, which can't bode well. …
Probability
Probability Math is one of my loves. A few years ago I purchased a math bible of sorts, called Mathematics 1001. In it are just over a thousand bite-sized pieces of information that come from the different branches of mathematics. Whenever I get the notion, I’ll pull this big tome off of my bookshelf, like …
On Licenses and Coffee
Life is going pretty good here. I have been ill, but getting better just makes me more grateful for the majority of the time being good. T minus nine days until Sam’s graduation party, and I don’t feel quite ready. But if I can at least spend each of the next few days thinking about …
The Grace of His Spirit
First, some thoughts on food prep. The other day, we had some friends over for dinner, and we grilled out. The chicken, when it was done, was put in the oven to keep while Luke finished the other meats. Our friends had brought some chicken to grill, too, so that by the time we sat …
In A Word
What a day! We just found out last night that a dear friend was going to have open heart surgery today, and have been following that all day. He is out of surgery; it went well. Here’s hoping there is a good recovery, and no more surprises. This surgery was a 5-bypass. Luke was saying …
What Is Wrong
Indulge me for one more post, down in a hole in a log in the middle of the sea. I’ve been down more than I’ve been up lately, and it makes me ponder what might be causing it. Last week about this time I would have thought things were looking up- I had just started …
A Few Sad Things
One of my favorite books to read to the littles is one called Owl At Home. From the same author as the Frog and Toad books, Arnold Lobel, this book also has chapters/different stories within it. One story is called ‘Tearwater Tea’ and is about when Owl thinks about sad things, like too-short pencils, and …
My Team
I just came up from starting a load of laundry, and noticed how the kids have a ‘home theater’ set up currently, to watch episodes of LOST. There is a potato bin that was Carol’s, that the monitor is set up on, and the dvd player. In front is a carpeted space where three to …
Count Your Blessings
Let me give you an idea of where I am: public library, very quiet...except for my typing. The keyboards have cling wrap over them, so the friendly librarians can hear every keystroke. (Stupid COVID) Still, I am grateful to have a way to blog today. It makes all the difference in the world if I …
Something To Look Forward To
I’m at the end of a data cycle, and it won’t start over until tomorrow. When I typed up a blog post the other day, I just saved it on my computer instead of using the data to upload it. Later I got to thinking how snarky I was in what I wrote, so now …
