Today's post is a quick, mostly pictorial one. It features one of my most recent purchases: An adjustable height desk. My company has a different brand of adjustable desks at work, and I probably spend about half my time standing and half sitting during a regular work day. Since I have the option to work … Continue reading Standing Desk: I am Autonomous
A Blast of the Past #88: BonFire at Shaffers
In the fall of 2007 we had a Church small group bonfire at our long-time friends, the Shaffers. It was hard to realize at that time how soon the group we were with would be heading separate ways; we had been together so long, yet the time of parting was at hand. For us at … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #88: BonFire at Shaffers
Sound and fury
I had this thought while roaming into the breakroom at work. The business news is always droning on the TV. All you can really see are the headlines, which don't say much, and the volume isn't where you can really listen to the patter. But the pattern seems to be one of sound and fury. … Continue reading Sound and fury
#176: Break Thou the Bread of Life
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) I remember this song as a frequent musical underlay to the communion service in the churches where I grew up. 1 Break Thou the bread of life, Dear Lord, to me, As Thou didst break the loaves Beside … Continue reading #176: Break Thou the Bread of Life
Toontown Revisited
I think it has been over a year since I played Toontown Rewritten. At one point I was playing it 4 hours a weekend; 2 hours each on a Saturday and Sunday. It was the relaxation reward I was giving myself. But then life got busy again and I didn't have the time to give … Continue reading Toontown Revisited
Fitness Update: 1st place (of a kind …)
This week was the build-up to the Sham Rock and Run on Sunday. I started with 5K run on Monday along the streets around my house. I got a 6.5 mph pace, which is the base I felt I needed for the pace I wanted -- the pace I want to make for the half-marathon. … Continue reading Fitness Update: 1st place (of a kind …)

CHORUS Standing, standing, Standing on the promises … Continue reading #175: Standing on the Promises
What kind of tramp is Trump?
Back on March 10, 2016, just over a year ago, I wrote this post about now President Trump and why I didn't trust him and wouldn't vote for him. I still stand by those comments, and about the way his wealth enabled him to get away with behavior that a poor man could never get … Continue reading What kind of tramp is Trump?
A Blast of the past #87: First Bicycle
Last week's blast was the birthday party where my son got his first bicycle. Today is pictures of the learning to ride the bicycle.
The Non-Post
And on the Fifth Day he rested.... Ever wonder why the week is 7 days long instead of 5? Yesterday I noticed that somehow in my advance scheduling, I had put three posts up on the same day. Not sure how I did that, but it didn't change anything I scheduled beyond that, so … Continue reading The Non-Post
