Re-tired

I am tired tonight. I was tired yesterday, hence re-tired. I’m not sick. Just tired. And not tired of anything or anyone. Just weary. Worn down. Non-energetic. I wanted to write something interesting for my blog. Something pithy and insightful. But it just isn’t happening. So I think I’ll call it a day, and head to…

It’s a sad day

I am going to have to get used to waking up each morning in a world where Robin Williams is dead and Larry King is still alive. Doesn’t seem right.

Porch time

The smell of rain is truly glorious, sitting on a covered porch, mid 60s temperature, reading a good book. I just know I will sleep like a log tonight.

Achievement Unlocked: Online Map presence

A few months ago, we were driving from A to B and saw a Bing Maps camera car mapping parts of Denver. We followed the car for a few blocks on Grant Street heading toward Speer. I was curious if and when we would appear on Bing Maps. I started checking every couple of weeks…

Lots of cooking today. Two roasted chickens, a bunch of bacon, microwaved kale chips (even better than baked) and roasted cabbage steaks.

Stretching it out

There’s nothing like being woken up at 3:00am by a calf muscle that’s just starting to cramp. It really lets you know that you’re alive and your muscles are WORKING! Fortunately, I was able to stretch the cramp into submission and the leg calmed right on down. I was able to get back to sleep…

I haven’t shaved in two days…

…let Octobeard begin! I’m hoping to remember to take photos every day as the beard returns to assemble into a clever video later. Also, I will not be taking photos immediately after I get up in the morning when I’m still puffy from sleep. And I will also try to use a device that can…
