There’s two moments from today that I feel like I want to reflect on. The first one I want to relate is the one that happened later in the day. The kids finish swimming lessons around noon so we sometimes will get pizza afterwards. It made sense today because my wife was sleeping off a […]
Continue reading →It’s late but I wanted to check in before I hit the hay. My daughter set up a puzzle on the kitchen table tonight and did a fair bit of it before she went to bed. It’s a 500 piece puzzle so it’s substantial – not the kind of puzzle you finish in less than […]
Continue reading →I’m running sluggish today. I woke up at 5 with a sore throat so I gargled with salt water and went back to bed. It just doesn’t seem to make sense to get up early to write when I’m getting sick and probably the thing I need most is sleep to get better and make […]

In my Day 2 post for Lent I said that I wasn’t going to stay up late watching late night political shows on Youtube, but I haven’t been […]
Continue reading →If you’re not familiar with Lent, the Sundays of Lent are kind of like off-days. The forty days of Lent are measured from Monday to Saturday, so as I think I mentioned in my first post, there are actually 46 days in Lent. Now, I’ve already broken my plan to post every day during Lent […]

I’v got into this bad habit of starting a post and working on it for so long that it becomes irrelevant. I’ve got a half finished post on the Donald Trump election that is now a week old and probably not worth posting anymore. I still don’t know what to think of the whole thing. […]
