Vacation has begun. Going to be a staycation of course, but still looking forward to some time off. See you tomorrow.

Last night I participated in a Twitter chat, which I do most Wednesday evenings. The topic for this chat was mental health, and how high schools now have social clubs that both fight the stigma of seeking mental health assistance and to promote the benefits of using mental health professionals. While working on our current… Continue reading Mental Health Matters

My mind is awash in chaos this evening. No real topic or thought is clear enough to coagulate into a coherent topic. Some of the things circulating through my synapses are the following: Why doesn’t Twitter have an edit button? Why doesn’t Twitter ban the lame duck since he is spreading so many harmful lies… Continue reading The Chaos of My Mind Today

This evening as I was unpacking the final boxes of books from our move, I came across my very first Bible. It is a small red Bible that was just the right size for my smaller hands at the time I received it. When I opened it, along with a flood of memories from the… Continue reading Books and the Bible

I took the afternoon and evening to put the four bookshelves together. While doing so, I starting watching a movie. That movie lead to another, and another,… Continue reading A Day for Me

New Oxford American Dictionary: 2. Miserably inadequate, of very low standard. This word keeps coming to my mind as coverage over the Presidential election continues. Each time a new story is broadcast or written, I just can’t think about the stories without thinking of them as pathetic. The lame duck has yet to acknowledge, and… Continue reading Word for the Day: Pathetic

I’m not one to give too much credence to conspiracy theories except seeing them as curiosities.

These past few days, the lame duck has asked for resignations, fired and appointed people, first as… Continue reading Are the Russians Coming?
