As one of my celebrations for finding a job that is more suitable for my personality and tastes, I ended up buying more stamps from the U.S. Postal Service. I value the Postal Service more than I dislike it although there have been a few times where I question the people they hire. One time…

I’ve worn a lot of shoes over the years. Some were used way past their prime. Others were hardly used and gave them to someone who might want them. A few made my feet hurt, but I forced them to work with my feet. Over time they stretched out and they were comfortable. The same…

I’ve been reading a handful of books including a bunch of graduation speeches by Kurt Vonnegut. I need to read more of his work such as his novels. What I’m reading, while I don’t agree with everything he says, I do get where he is coming from (yes, I know you shouldn’t end a sentence…

We’re inching closer to December. One month at a time. I have so much to say but not much because it’s similar to past blogs. Unless you’ve won the lottery or discovered a new element, your life is going to be pretty much a bunch of mundane days piled into a week piled into a…
