OMG! Where did my morning go? October 19, 2020
OMG! Where did my morning go? This is what happens when you take a really good mid-morning nap.

There's not as much […]
Once an expensive frustration, now... October 18, 2020
Once an expensive frustration, now... —– a value, all things considered. So this weekend I bit the bullet and signed up for a subscription to Sirius XM Radio. Many years ago I had a SiriusXM subscription for several months. If memory serves me right, the service was more expensive then. And I didn't have the […]
A few of my favorite things October 17, 2020
A few of my favorite things Growing up a football player and fan in Northern Indiana, having the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as one of my favorite teams was only natural. And they still are.

Tuesday morning:Even without the alarm I woke naturally 1/2 hour after the 1st alarm would have gone off and 1/2 hour before the 2nd alarm. Guess my biological alarm was still set. The detailed dream I was having as I woke was disturbing enough to make me glad to be rid of it. So I was […]

Monday morning:The day starts well. I was having an interesting dream when the first alarm went off, the eyes opened, the arm reached over to grab the phone, and my feet swung down to the floor. Oh yeah, I could have slept longer. But I'm confident a good enough nap will come my way after […]
