I’ve worn the same belt for over 20 years. In October 2019, I finally decided that the wear on it was enough and it was time to consider buying a new belt. This was no easy decision as I am fascinated with time and highly value items that are sentimental, things that are part of…… Continue reading My Versace Belt

Super Tuesday 2020
It is super Tuesday across the country in an election which for the first time in my life will have major ramifications. And you know what? For the first time in over a decade I did not vote. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts my whole mindset about being an American has changed. I went…… Continue reading Super Tuesday 2020
Journal Entry 3.1.20
I just had a few things on my mind that I wanted to get down. My mind has changed. Thought patterns, emotions, feelings, my entire consciousness has changed over the past five years. I think it is an extraordinary thing to be able to recognize this. My mind is everything and like an OS it…… Continue reading Journal Entry 3.1.20
Things that annoy me
In the Columbus Dispatch today I really enjoyed the piece by Joe Blundo with his “Things I’m Tired Of,” series. It got me thinking about things I’m tired of. I only have a few but wanted to get them down. “Woo-hoo.” I’m tired of my financial institutions notifying me I’ve gotten paid with a ‘woo-hoo,’…… Continue reading Things that annoy me

It is so prevalent that after washing the car yellow started to accumulate on the car as I was…… Continue reading Journal Entry 2.22.20
The beginning of 2020
I am fascinated by the passage of time. The beginning of 2020 serves as a marker of not only a new year but also a new decade. Unfortunately the beginning of this decade didn’t start out well. I learned that my father-in-law is in pretty bad shape and there isn’t any hope of a recovery.…… Continue reading The beginning of 2020

New Year’s Day 2020
It is 7:35 on New Year’s Day 2020. I always have this image that the holidays will be a relaxing time. I imagine myself sitting on the couch reading a book with a fireplace on the TV and some Christmas music in the background. What I always forget is that they are always very busy…… Continue reading New Year’s Day 2020
