Late – computer issues and helping out the Kindergarten class. Fall is here – it’s been very cool here lately – just how I like it. Bring on the cold, it’s why we have sweaters. Another thing to keep us warm is music, specifically the music in today’s podcast, with Barry White, Raphael Saadiq, Sade, … Continue reading "Fall into October"

I started out writing a giant screed against the year 1968, which was 50 years ago. That’s half a century, and I was alive, so I’m getting older. I didn’t like what I wrote, so I deleted it. What does everyone else think about for the year 1968? I’ll just say that there was no … Continue reading "1968"

Are you properly insured? Do you care? Its important, but it’s not so important that anyone should have to go to a 2 day meeting on insurance. That’s what I’m doing tomorrow and Tuesday. I couldn’t be more exci…underwhelmed. It’s not the most glamorous part of my job, but is in my bailiwick. Risk mitigation … Continue reading "Insurance"

It’s weather again – not bad here (warm again for a couple of days, followed by rain and then back to where weather should be in late September). But Florence has hit North Carolina, and Mangkhut has wreaked havoc in the Philippines and Pacific Ocean. I know someone who’s retirement house in Myrtle Beach(move in … Continue reading "Weather"

As I get older I am ruled more and more by to-do lists. Online I use an app called ToDoist, which is my primary to do list. I use the notes app to quickly track immediate to do’s (if there are lots of little things I need to get done in a day that I … Continue reading "To Do Lists"

Happy Labor Day, comrades. I’ve been troubleshooting my computer – ugh. It’s becoming painfully slow, and it’s not even that old (hear me computer? get up to speed!). Just printing out pictures for my wife’s first day of school took far too long (and it wasn’t the printer’s fault this time). That’s what you get … Continue reading "Labor Day"

It’s back to school time. Although I do not have a school-aged child that is heading back to school, my wife is a teacher, and we did some last minute shopping yesterday with thousands of my closest friends That’s right, driving and shopping was kind of a mess yesterday. Like many teachers, Kate does not … Continue reading "School Days"

We had our 40th Reunion last Saturday at the newly-beautiful Mt. Blue High School, which underwent a huge renovation a couple of years ago. I remember the old school fondly, and the new school is fantastic. There were only a couple of dozen of us there, which out of ~200 isn’t much. We ended up … Continue reading "Reunion Aretha"

Hi, I’m doing this quickly as we’re off to the reunion today. It’s not too late to go – well, within reason, I know. I’m tossing this up early as I’m unsure of what tomorrow is going to bring. I’ll check in with a report later. To get us there. I’ve got a great set … Continue reading "Today is Reunion Day"

These are the dog days of summer. It’s hot and we’re all much slower moving (well, we may quicken our pace to find air conditioning). I always thought that we called it the dog days because even dogs wouldn’t do anything but lay around and pant. But no…the Greeks started the phrase because that’s when … Continue reading "Dog Days"
