We know we had water Wednesday morning when I took my shower before work, but when Betsy went to use the sink around 10:45 a.m. there was no water. Everything seemed fine inside the house, and nothing was visible outside … Continue reading Waterless in Kansas City

work week vs week end
Weekends go way too fast when you work a cycle that divides life into work week and week end. And if you leave all of life to the week end, there is more lifeless week than lived week.

Technology -- making one item match to another -- that has been my work and frustration of the day. We went out today to Best Buy and picked up a Chromecast.

Seems like I have been changing a number of tires in the past couple of months. Most of them have been bicycle tires. Tuesday was the first (and hopefully last) car tire.
