The time is 7:08 AM on Thanksgiving morning 2019. I had hoped to get up much earlier for a quiet, serene morning in which to write but I did’t get out of bed until 6:00 AM. As soon as I sat down to write this post my son walked into the living room and has…… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2019

Journal Entry – 11.26.19
It is 10:19 AM on Tuesday November 26th, 2019. This is the Thanksgiving holiday week and in my line of work a slow time. Nobody wants to work this week and I certainly don’t want to cause any work for my customers. I only receive about two or three e-mails I need to take action…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 11.26.19
Journal Entry 10.13.2019
It is 5:48 AM on Sunday October 13th, 2019. The moon hangs high above the trees partly obscured by a few passing clouds. The temperature is a cool 49 degrees.

Usually I like to write a Christmas Eve post to reflect on Christmases past and the magic that comes only on that night but I have caught a cold and wasn’t feeling too well. I just ran myself too ragged: we took a trip to Lake Tahoe…… Continue reading Christmas Day 2018
Thanksgiving 2018
It is 9:19 on the day after Thanksgiving. I usually like to write a post on Thanksgiving day but the fact that we had a party the night before put a damper on getting up early and writing. I did get up relatively early but had to clean up from the night before. Then it…… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2018
Journal Entry – 11.21.2018
It is 5:22 AM on Thursday, November 21st 2018. It is the day before Thanksgiving. It is hard to believe we’re right in the middle of the holiday season already. My life has been a blur with the new job and the months have flown by. Usually I like to really absorb myself into the…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 11.21.2018
